Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Late last night it started raining, and it continues rainy so far this morning. I believe it's supposed to taper off to just partly cloudy by afternoon. With a high in the mid 70s, it could end up being a very nice day, as well as watering newly planted pretties! :)
Yesterday: Even though I had to make an unplanned trip to town, we still managed to get a lot done in the yard. I planted flowers, the "gardener" weeded (I'm not allowed, I tend to pull up the wrong things - poor vision, you know. LOL!) and planted bulbs. Everything is already looking nicer.
Today: I have yet another long list of errands - picking up refills, groceries, and a few "fun" stops on the way. It's good not to be sitting home, since I sort of don't get anything done when it's overcast or rainy. Maybe by the time I'm done the sun will be out and I'll be motivated to do some housework. Maybe not. LOL!

March 30, 2012
Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's starting out bright and clear, and will be around mid 70s today. There may be clouds moving in later, and a small possibility of showers by evening.
Yesterday: I spent most of my morning taking care of paperwork and boring stuff like that! LOL! We went to town for lunch, and then DH's doctor's appointment. They were running way behind - very unusual - so we were there close to 2 hours. After that, a quick stop for replacement sprinklers (yes, friends, it's *that* time already!!) and supper from the grill. Yay, no dishes! LOL!
Today: Since it's not quite as hot, and a chance of rain later - it's time to get in the yard some. I have several things that need to be planted; and the "big" garden needs to be prepped (and the fire ants need to be GONE!!!), it's nearly time to start planting that! I doubt much housework will get done today. :)

March 29,, 2012
Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! Today will be bright and clear, up to the low 80s, and breezy. Hmmm ... no burning again! :)
Yesterday: As expected, yesterday was pretty much all day at the clinic. While DH made the rounds of different departments for routine labs, I walked over to the main hospital to pay a bill (boo). I'd never been on the new concourse before - it's very nice, even if it is 37 miles long! LOL! We got out ...again as expected ... just after 4:00, so we got a little of the evening traffic but no "stop-and-crawl". We stopped at Golden Corral for an early dinner (having had NO lunch or breakfast!!), and I made a quick stop at Wal-Mart. We got home about 7ish - plenty of time to watch AI. :)
Today: This afternoon is yet one more doctor appointment. This one is local, and shouldn't really take very long. It's more of a follow up to make sure information is all in one place. I've already got laundry going, and will try to get some housework done before we go out (because I know I won't later! LOL!).

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Wow, what a change from yesterday - today will be around 80! It's supposed to be mostly sunny, and breezy. This has been, literally, the warmest March on record! I'm pretty sure we can stop worrying about a late-season snow. LOL!
Yesterday: DH had a late morning clinic appointment. That was mainly a follow up with the nurse, and didn't take long. Then we went through town for him to get a haircut. When we came home, I spent most of the rest of the afternoon working on my paper sorting project, and trying to get my desk area organized. I think that might be a never-ending task! LOL!
Today: DH has a pulmo appointment today, which means an all day excursion. He is supposed to be there in the morning for labs, but his appointment isn't until 3:15 .. so, a long day of just waiting. I'm sure glad I have ebooks to read!! :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's clear and bright, but will be cool. After 16 days of "above normal", today will be low 60s - below normal! It's still gorgeous out, and though early things are blooming happily. :)
Yesterday: I made up my mind to tackle paper work and related projects. I was mostly successful - Yay! There were a few things I was not able to get done, but at least I took steps towards them. All in all, though not much in the house got done, it felt like a productive day.
Today: This morning DH has a clinic follow up visit. Things have been going much better the last few days, so I'm hoping this will be a fairly short visit. Yesterday he cut most of the grass, and wants to finish this afternoon. If he does that .. maybe I'll get the kitchen floor mopped! Oh goody. LOL!

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. After a very gray and damp weekend, now it's clear and bright. It won't be as warm today, maybe low to mid 70s. That's good, because the grass sure loved all the rain! :)
Yesterday: My day turned out nothing like I expected ... and nothing new there, right? LOL! I had thought my afternoon would be quiet, maybe read a bit. Instead, I had 2 of my "bonus grands" spend the afternoon. You'd think by now I'd have remembered how *energetic* little boys can be! LOL!
Today: I have designated this "paper day". There's stuff I've put off, so really need to take care of those things. And as long as it's a paper day, I need to put more time into the sorting project ... I wouldn't have much left to do if I didn't keep adding in various office supplies! LOL!

March 25, 2012
Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's overcast, but not raining at the moment. Yesterday it rained pretty much all day, with interspersed bouts of thunder and lightening. Today could be more of the same, with possibly fewer storms, more periods of no rain. It's going to be in the low 70s, so still warmish. So many things seem to be blooming early, and loving the rain!
Yesterday: I sort of puttered around, got a few small things done. I don't function well on rainy days (that's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL!), but managed to keep up with "routine" and a bit. In the afternoon a friend took me to a movie ("We Bought A Zoo"), which I totally enjoyed.
Today: I don't really know how today will go. I have 2 days with no appointments, so should try to get the weekly cleaning done. Maybe tomorrow! LOL! A rainy Sunday sure seems like a good time to curl up with a good ebook!! :)

March 24, 2012
Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Since we mostly "skipped" winter, it seems our "April showers" are early this year. :) I woke up to rain, and it's supposed to rain off and on during the morning and again by late afternoon. However, it'll be low to mid 70s, so maybe not too muggy.
Yesterday: Things changed around faster than I could keep up! LOL! I rushed to get the daily things done so we could do afternoon errands. Then DH figured out his errand wasn't needed after all, so plans changed again. I took trash by the dump, got gas (major ouch!), then went to the grocery store (major Score!). After I got everything put away, we headed out again for another errand, and then a quick stop by his son's house.
Today: I'm getting the day off to a very lazy start. My "schedule" (that I so rarely go by! LOL!) lets me have weekends "off" (of course, not counting all the usual cooking, dishes, laundry, etc.); and I'm hoping for a nice break in the late afternoon. Meantime, I've slept late (well, later anyway), and doing everything in reverse order. I have no idea what - if anything- productive will get done today. :)

March 23, 2012
Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's a bit overcast now, but the forecast is for partly cloudy and "lots of sunshine". We'll have another unseasonably warm day in the low to mid 80s; and again, possible late afternoon storms.
Yesterday: For a change I had a fairly productive day. It appears incentive helps! LOL! I got most of the "routine" weekly cleaning done, and even got out Easter decorations. :)
It was very late afternoon before the nurse got here, but she was very helpful; and we have high hopes that her adjustments will help solve some problems.
Today: Once again, I have a long list and hope for energy and motivation. I work better on sunny days, so I am hoping this morning grayness burns off quickly. I also plan to try to make a run to the grocery store later. DH wants to run an errand, so I may end up taking several trips ... better get my work done this morning! LOL!

March 22, 2012
Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! So far the sun is shining; the forecast is for partly cloudy. Today will be upper 70s, and with chances of more storms. Several strong ones moved through last night - this morning everything is fresh and clean!
Yesterday: The clinic appointment went much better than I thought it would. Although we still think the doctor there is a doofus (pop in for 5 minutes is an "exam"???), the nurses and other personal seemed like they were really trying to work with us for a change. We got some good information, and a promise of changes to be made. When I got the mail when we came home, I had a lovely surprise ... a grocery store gift card! There's no name, so I can't thank anyone - I will PRAISE GOD! :) Storms in the evening knocked out TV for an hour or so, but it came on in time to watch most of AI. Yay! :)
Today: A nurse is going to try to come by this afternoon to change dialysis machine settings. I need to get myself in gear and run the (dreaded) vacuum ... other than that everything is fairly neat. Of course, there's always something to be cleaned! LOL! I hope it stays sunny and I have a productive day. That would be a nice change for me. :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Right now there's sunshine pouring in my window, though the sky appears a bit "milky". Today's forecast is for partly cloudy and possible storms off and on all day ... with a high mid to upper 70s. Did we skip spring and go right into summer??
Yesterday: We got out in time - barely! - and got to the doctor's office, only to find out she was out sick. They had called and left a message - oh the joys of phone service in the country! LOL! (phone never rang!!). Anyway, we stopped by the shop for a quick visit, and I got a few groceries. At home I really didn't get a lot done, but I did manage some time on the paper project, and some laundry. And .. I read a lot! LOL!
Today : DH has yet another doctor visit, this time with the nephrologist at the clinic. There aren't any refills due, so after clinic we'll come on home. Hopefully by this afternoon I'll manage a burst of motivation or energy. On the other hand - if it storms - maybe I'll just read some more! :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. When I first got up it was gray and drippy; and then there was a gorgeous sunrise (evening gray and morning red, etc), and the forecast is for possible storms later. For now, it's brilliantly sunny; and it's SPRING and will be low 80s today!
Yesterday: I did try to get some things done, but did not accomplish nearly as much as I hoped. It was stormy until early afternoon, and then cleared. I didn't work on the paper project, but did get a few other bits and pieces done. Dancing With The Starts started ... much better than last year, with some surprises. Erkle??? LOL!!
Today: DH has yet another follow up appointment. It is nice, however, to have a doctor that is NOT an hour away that is keeping such a close watch. :) That shouldn't take very long, so no idea what the rest of the day will hold. I'll probably stop for groceries on the way home (out of coffee creamer!! panic! LOL!), and I *hope* I get a bit of motivation going to get some cleaning done. :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It might be a bit overcast - hard to tell in fog! LOL! But today should be partly cloudy and in the low 80s. We might have a chance of storms later in the afternoon ... almost seems like summery weather!
Yesterday: I did not get as much done as I would have liked; I sort of felt like I let the past week "crash" on me. Or maybe I just got lazy (what? ME? lazy?? ROFL!!). I did do the few things on my list, and worked some on my on-going paper project. And, as I was putting away some laundry I pulled a few more things out of the closet and put in the donation boxes. Since I am not much of a sports fan, it was hard to find anything to watch on TV, so I read a lot.
Today: I was up earlier than "usual" for the dialysis supply delivery. So, hopefully, I will make this a productive day. Once again, I don't have to go anywhere except one short trip in mid afternoon ... hopefully I will dig up some motivation and get busy! LOL!

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a bit overcast, and was foggy earlier. But, it will still be in the mid 70s, which isn't bad. :) We'll probably get a few showers off and on ... since things are greening all over, rain is a good thing!
Yesterday: I was a little busier than I expected, but I managed (barely! LOL!) to get done quite a few of the things on my (never-ending) to do list. I ended up running errands in 2 different towns; but prescription refills are all sorted out, messages delivered, and cleaning and laundry got done. Plus, the yard got quite a bit of much needed pruning of low/dead branches and over grown shrubs .. it's already looking better!
Today: I hope today I'll be able to tackle some of those projects I haven't gotten to for several days now. I need to make one more quick grocery run (I have a coupon for a Free product - not gonna miss out on that! LOL!), but other than that I plan on trying to get some things done. If it stays gray and rainy ... I may or may not get anything done! LOL!

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Although the forecast says cloudy and possible afternoon storms - at the moment it's mostly clear and bright. It will be in the low 80s, so a very warm St. Pat's day (in years past we've had a snowy St. Pat's - what a difference!!)
Yesterday: The day turned into an all day marathon of running errands. We started with a doctor's appointment, followed by a stop at the bank. Then a quick visit at the shop, then groceries, and home. After a quick lunch, I left again for a hair appointment (free!! Nice!! LOL!), a stop to pick up refills, and then go pick up the little boys from school (only it turned out a neighbor took them). The doctor has told DH he needs *more* salt - how ironic! - so we got burgers and fries from the grill. Yum! :)
Today: There will be more running around I think. The weather forecast is making gardening an "iffy" project; but I need to pick up refills, and drop off more donations. So actually, I'm also behind on house cleaning, so need to do a bit of catch up here too. Oh goody! LOL
I'm wearing green today - are you?? :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! You just wouldn't know it's only mid March - highs today in the low 80s, bright and sunny most of the day. There's a chance of storms rolling in by late af.ernoon.
Yesterday: I think I must have been dealing with "left-over stress" from Wednesday, because I did absolutely nothing but the minimum needed. Mostly, I read all day. I did keep up with routine stuff - dishes, etc., and submitting an order. I didn't need to pick up the boys, so never left the house. It was nice to take a sort of day off. :)
Today: DH has a morning follow up doctor visit, and then we need to run an errand in town. This afternoon I have an appointment that I will probably cancel; but I need to talk to a lady about a vendor type party at her shop. And, I will need to pick up the 2 "bonus grands" from school. I might fit in a quick stop for groceries too. With all that, not likely to get anything "extra" done at home - but there's always tomorrow! LOL!

March 15, 2012
Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today will be bright and sunny and very warm! I don't know what the "record" is, but we'll go mid to upper 80s today. I heard a part of a weather report that said over a span of many years, the trend is for milder and milder winters .... hope that doesn't mean warmer summers! LOL!
Yesterday: Nothing turned out like I expected for sure! DH's first appointment went about as expected. But, when he went to the doctor's office, they sent him to the hospital! It turned out, though, he was only dehydrated; and they didn't admit him, only pumped in some fluids! :) It certainly turned into a long day, but ended up at home and "back to normal" (mostly).
Today: I'd like to say today I will clean house. Well, I guess I could *say* it, but I wouldn't mean it! LOL! I have a lot of phone calls to make: setting up doctor appointments (for follow up), dealing with party orders, and so on. We'll have a few quick errands to run in the afternoon; but I do hope I can at least put a little time into one or another on my on-going projects. :)

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! The forecast for today is mostly sunny by late morning ... it's a bit overcast now, but should be clearing soon. They say today will go to the low to mid 80s!! Wow. I know there's still a "chance" - but I really think winter is gone for this year!
Yesterday: I was not as productive as I should have been, but I did get a lot of things done. I caught up laundry, worked on the paperwork project, did some cleaning, watered the plants ... a lot of "usual" things, but I scattered them through the day. I even allowed myself a bit of reading time. :)
Today: DH has back-to-back appointments today. First routine clinic, and then an appointment with an "ordinary" doctor (no specialist!). Right after that we'll go give 2 of the "bonus grands" a ride home from school. As it will be near 4:00 by the time we get home, I don't think anything beyond morning routine will get done today. Some days are just like that. LOL!

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Although it's overcast, it's not at the moment "dark" or wet. It'll be in the mid to low 70s, so warm; but possibly might rain during the morning, and maybe even storms in the late afternoon.
Yesterday: I did not get as much done as I hoped, but at least a few important errands were handled. I was in and out several times; and apparently that's all the excuse I need to avoid doing anything in the house! LOL!
Today: There are no errands or appointments due today, so maybe I'll be more productive. I've still got a couple of on-going organizing projects I need to work on, as well as keeping up with regular (boring! LOL!) cleaning. I'm getting off to a lazy start (rainy days - even when it's only a chance of a drizzle - seem to do that), but hopefully I can find a burst of energy - or at least motivation! LOL!

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. There's bright sunshine pouring in my window, and it will go into the low to mid 70s today. Even the evenings aren't going to be as cold, at least for the next week or so. It's still early March, but winter was so mild that loads of things are blooming or just before it already.
Yesterday: It was also a gorgeous day, so some outside stuff got done. The garden is nearly ready to start planting (and "the gardener" has seedlings going!); and we were able to burn off a large amount of the excess boxes that had piled up. I also burned a box full of paperwork from the purging process - there was too much to shred! LOL! And, the last vestiges of Christmas lights were finally tucked away.
Today: I hope to get at least some of the regular weekly cleaning done. This afternoon we have to go into town to get a minor banking issue resolved; sometimes that tends to derail my efforts at home. I'll just have to do what I can. :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright, and will be mid to upper 60s. According to the weather guy, it's only going to get warmer from here, not even any more cold nights any time soon. I think my plants might get to be outside again for the next week at least. :)
Yesterday: I got all of the "routine" stuff done, plus a lot of prep work for the chocolate party (made brownies - Dove makes the BEST brownie mix ever!!), and got all my food and paper stuff assembled. In order to be relaxed and not feel too stressed, I blocked off a big chunk of the afternoon to just read. The party went very well - best one yet!
Today: I'm running late - not because of the time change, just because I'm being lazy! LOL! I have a few things to play catch up with, but at least part of the day may have to be playing outside. :)
I have a new spring wreath on the porch door. Actually, it's now on the storm door, because it's too fat to shut the wooden door! LOL!

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! Wonderful sunlight is pouring in my window. Today will still be a tiny bit on the chilly side, with highs in the mid 50s. But it will be clear and bright; and after today, the temps just keep going up!
Yesterday: I ended up spending most of the day running around; but I got a lot of things accomplished. I met friends for lunch, which was nice - and they "introduced" me to yet another thrift shop (not sure that was so "nice"! LOL!). I picked up medicines at 2 different places, mailed a package, picked up a few groceries. I hadn't gotten home long when I had to go back out to meet someone about an upcoming vendor event. I started a load of laundry - and then forgot it! LOL! And, I managed to fix a nice dinner (finally used up all the leftovers). :)
Today: For starters, I finished that load of laundry! LOL! Mostly today will be dealing with chocolate business. I have a pretty big party this afternoon, and have several things to get made as well as get my paperwork organized (it's mostly done, but need to add a few things). Today feels like a good day for a big pot of soup too.
My "St. Patrick's Day" tree!

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. At the moment it's gray and damp, but the rain should ease off later in the morning. Since things are already blooming, they can certainly use rain. It'll be a little chilly, falling to mid 50s by later afternoon; but according to our local weather guy - this *should* be the *last gasp* of winter!
Yesterday: I finally managed to stay home one whole day! LOL! I got all of the weekly cleaning done that I was behind on; worked on paperwork some more; and then started a new office project, reorganizing my desk and storage. That might turn into a long-range on going project. :)
Today: I'm going to meet friends for an early lunch, and then run some errands in town. By the time I go here and there, it'll probably be mid to late afternoon before I get home. I'm glad I got cleaning done yesterday! :) Tonight I will keep working on the office while watching TV and checking email off and on. Maybe I'll even get myself ... *gasp* ... a glass of wine! LOL!

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's overcast, but there's still enough sunligh to cast shadows through the window, and occasionally bright shafts of light. Today will go up to low 70s; there's a vague chance of morning showers but it's not looking much like it now. It will be *breezy* again - so the burn pile grows.
Yesterday: I actually managed to do nearly everything I planned. It helps to not plan a lot! LOL! I only had one quick errand to run. I had to get some banking business figured out (in connection with bank changing owners). I did that, but it took longer than expected. I also continued to work on "the great paper project". :)
Today: I have no errands to run, so hopefully today will be cleaning day. I've let myself end up with most of the week's cleaning rolled into one day, so I just have to get busy and DO it! LOL!

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today's forecast is for mostly or partly cloudy; right now, though I can see pale gray sky, brilliant sunshine is pouring in my window. It'll be mid to upper 60s, and no rain expected, so a nice day to be outside.
Yesterday: I had a busy day. We rushed around and got out of the house "on time"' but we ended up leaving the function we were attending a bit early. In the afternoon, I did a bunch more "running around" - gas in the car (major OUCH on that! LOL!), pay the rent, get a few groceries. I must say I love my crock pot - dinner cooked itself! LOL!
Today: I *think* today will be calmer, with only one errand to take care of (so far). I really hope to make more progress on my big paperwork project, as well as the "routine" cleaning that I'm a bit behind on this week. I also need to keep working on getting my "office" organized - if that's even possible! LOL!

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright, wonderful sunshine pouring in my window. Today will be upper 50s, and without yesterday's high winds.
Yesterday: It turned into a bit of a busy day, but with a few quiet "lulls" in between. I got some of the things done I needed. By mid afternoon we had to leave. We had several errands to take care of, ate dinner, and then spent a large chunk of the evening visiting family.
Today: We have more family functions today, but it should be quiet by afternoon. I have no idea what I will get done, because I don't know when we'll get home. :)

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's cloudy this morning, and probably will stay mostly cloudy all day; but so far we've gotten no rain. North of me they've got "winter weather advisories", but I'm far enough south that if there's anything it'll be rain. We'll get up to mid 50s today which, while not warm, certainly doesn't mean snow or ice; but they are saying it'll be another very windy day.
Yesterday: I seemed to have a lot of odd intervals of working and doing nothing. :) The boys were only here a short time. I was lazy a lot, but got enough of a spurt of energy to make sure everything was neat; got a cake baked, and dinner prepped. We had company for dinner, then they left for a church meeting, then came back again for dessert.
Today: This morning has gotten off to a very early start with a supply delivery. Since we'll be involved in some family functions later, I will need to get busy, so just as well I got up early. And if I keep saying that, maybe I'll believe it! LOL! Or maybe I'll just go take a nap. :)

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It poured rain late into the night; and this morning it's still cloudy, but the rain seems to have stopped. They're saying it may start to clear a bit by late afternoon, but the clouds will be back again by tonight. Today will only be around 50, and a bit colder tomorrow. Typically for NC, we get a "last gasp" in winter in March!
Yesterday: The day ended up much busier than I expected. I did get the things done in the morning that I needed to. The afternoon was spent delivering orders, and then just being a bit lazy (too wet to work in the garden) and planning this year's garden layout. Then in the late afternoon 3 of my "bonus" DGSs came over, so the evening was busier than expected! LOL!
Today: I will try to "catch up" with myself. It's not a day for doing housework; but I'll do some general decluttering. Late this afternoon we'll be having company for dinner, so that's pretty much my only "focus" for today. :)

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! I think perhaps the "drought" they've been mentioning is much less of a threat now! Wow, did it ever rain in the early morning hours ... lots of thunder and lightening. Today's high is predicted to be around 70ish, but early in the afternoon; and then the temps dropping. I think it'll be cloudy all day, but for now the rain has stopped.
Yesterday: My day was a bit hap-hazard, which tends to happen when last minute changes get thrown in the mix. I still got all the "must do" stuff ... the things that make the house look presentable if someone were to show up unexpected. I had planned to go to town for groceries, but had to change my timing (which was just as well, since I managed to miss showers that way!). Also, my last chocolate order arrived, so that needed to be sorted and dealt with (although, that's a fun thing!)
Today: I'm trying to line up my days and weeks so I don't schedule anything but basic cleaning on weekends. I want to leave them free for parties, or just relaxing. So today I will get the basics done (dishes, cooking, bed, and a little bit of laundry to finish putting away) and *maybe* drop some trash at the dump. Then I get to go deliver chocolate orders! :)

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a bit overcast now, but not really "dark" ... though it may get there by the afternoon. The high today will probably be around the low 70s, and chances of rain - maybe even storms - by afternoon.
Yesterday: It seems days when we have to go out in the middle of the day become very unproductive. After clinic (an hour), stop at drugstore for refills, trip by auto shop for small repair, and then lunch ... wow, the day was mostly gone. And ALL the energy was gone! LOL! I barely managed to get everything for the evening done and still catch (most of) AI. OK, I admit ... I really like the last guy "in" ... he reminds me of Jason from a few years ago! :)
Today: I thought I was going to stay home and finish up some various projects and spot cleaning. But, the phone's already been busy this morning, and it's looking like I'll have to make a quick trip to town. Oh well, I will get some things done today! :) I won't be going out later since the forecast is for possible storms; so I might as well go on and get grocery shopping done this morning too. :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! There are a lot of the "high, thin" clouds, but brilliant sunshine is pouring in my window. We might even set a record high today. The current record is 82 ... and I generally get temps higher than the predicted (80). There's a tiny chance of a morning shower, but the afternoon will be hot and windy. Hmmm ... no trash burning today!
Yesterday: I had a fairly busy day, though I'm not sure it was particularly "productive". I had an eye appointment - nothing going on there except some drops (yay, more eye drops!) for dry eyes. I had a good meeting with my next party hostess. I got the last party orders sent in. In the afternoon I actually made a bit of progress cleaning my "office/sewing room". Wow, I found the floor! LOL!
Today: DH has a clinic appointment today, so probably not a lot will get done. An appointment in the middle of the day tends to chop it up; so we'll probably go from the clinic to the drugstore (just to check for any refills), then to his son's shop, and maybe eat lunch with "the kids". It's sort of a wait-and-see-how-it-goes kind of day. :)
