Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. I believe it's going to be one more very hot day, high 90s or even triple digits. The humidity is high too; but a "cold front" is approaching, so there's at least a chance of afternoon storms, and then perhaps a few days of lower temps (although still 90s).
Yesterday: I didn't get as much done as I hoped, but I still feel I got a fair bit accomplished. It was hot enough to get uncomfortable even inside with a/c running as soon as I start doing much moving around. I did manage to get a large chunk done on the room project of the week, and it won't take a lot more to be done with that.
Today: It's dialysis and work today as usual. I'm hoping to dredge up enough energy this evening to finish doing some straightening and maybe even (*gasp!*) run the vacuum. :)
Upcoming: Those of you who have been with me awhile know I tend to follow various "plans" this time of year, building up to Christmas. And no, for me, it's not too soon to think about that! LOL! I have a blog ( http://mychristmascountdown.blogspot.com/ ) that I've pretty much ignored for a long time. I'm going to get back to it to track my progress this year, if any of you are interested in floowing along. :)
Today is "U.S. Coast Guard Day" ... "National Underwear Day" ... "Revolution Day (Burkina Faso)".
