Outside my window... there are blue skies to the left and grey overcast looking clouds on the right. One of those days when the weather isn't quite sure what it really wants to be doing.

I am thinking... about if the weather is going to be okay to catch the bus into the city later to return some library books that are due back today.

I am thankful for... Daryl being able to time to spend studying for his exam in two weeks time. It is really important that he passes this exam.

From the kitchen... dinner tonight will be veal steaks with mashed potatoes and vegetables with ice cream for dessert.

I am wearing... jeans with a taupe and white striped long sleeve top and brown hooded jersey and socks and slippers.

I am hoping... to be able to find some more Karen Kingsbury books to read. I try and borrow all the books that I can from the library to read but it is unfortunate when they have a series of five books and one book for the series is no longer available at the library. Two of the Karen Kingsbury series the library stocks have one book each missing. I like to try and read books in order one after the other especially when different books although not necessarily in the same series often have the same characters.

Around the house... my oven has still not been fixed. I miss not having a working oven.

One of my favorite things... a surprise snail mail letter from a friend arriving in the mail box.

A few plans for the rest of the week... haircuts for everyone, clothes shopping, a trip to the library and some chores to catch up on.
