What are a few things you would like to "not get done" by blaming it on this day ? I didn't get anything done today - it was too rainy and windy. The dogs I'm minding this week didn't get a walk (they just had to run out into the backyard for 'business' in between squalls), I made dinner out of what I had in the pantry (instead of going to the store)... I didn't even go to the mailbox at the front gate!
