Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's already quite warm, but bright and clear. We'll have another really hot day, maybe even up to 100; but then they *say* the heat will back off and we'll even get some rain! For today, hot and dry, and the sprinklers are going!
Yesterday: For being a dialysis and work day, I did pretty well. I decided to tackle one little project. It sort of "mushroomed" into a much bigger project! LOL! But, I have a couple of boxes of donations, and I found places for all the storage totes. Now I just have to find places for everything else! LOL!
Today: The only thing I have to go "out" for today is to go pay the rent. I hope to put some good time into my on line class this morning, and then finish my cleaning project this afternoon. That's very ambitious, but I have a goal in mind; and besides, I just want it done! :)
Today is "National Night Out" ... "Independence Day (Niger)".
