Thoughts for the day

The sun is shining through high wispy clouds. Nice warm day.

I’m finally doing laundry from my trip. All my dirty clothes were in a mesh bag. I put it in the laundry room and remembered it this morning when I brought down some dirty clothes.

Tomorrow, I will see my urologist for a shot and in the afternoon I have a phlebotomy. It will be a busy day.

Many states have been busy changing election protocols. I hope we don’t have another 2020 after election mess.

My brother and his wife are in Houston. It is business with a little time for fun. Good for them.
