For me it's okay. I have no outdoor plans and would rather have the rain.
I've been doing house chores this weekend, kind of like Labor Day Spring Cleaning. I've been working on thoroughly sweeping and mopping all the hardwood flooring, which is really pretty when it's freshly done. Plus I've been dusting, vacuuming, etc. Yesterday I went through my closet and pulled out everything I haven't worn since I moved into this house, and put most of it aside to give to Goodwill. I also pulled out a lot of the things that I can't wear any more due to my weight loss. I'm about 13 pounds lighter than I was in January, and am continuing to drop weight, thanks to my change in diet and exercise. After the Japan wake-up call I've been motivated to stick with the diet changes.

13 pounds isn't a lot, but it's made enough difference in my waist and hips that a lot of my work slacks slide off me without a belt to hold them up. Some of my current work slacks I have to just give up. Even with a belt I'm lapping more than an inch of material. So I have been doing a little work-clothes shopping this week while I've been off.

Which gives me plenty of time to do household chores and puttering. I'm considering tackling straightening up the garage a little. The rain today broke those nasty 100+ temperatures, so I can actually stand to be in the garage to more than a few minutes. I could feasibly clean it up some. Maybe. Don't know if I'm quite that motivated.
I couldn't decide which pictures to use today, so went back to some of the several million from Japan that I haven't posted. The first pic is of a small garden shrine inside one of the restaurants where we ate on Miyajima. Then there's a picture of the turtles attempting to sun (no sun present) at Toji Temple and the ducks chilling at the Unknown Soldier Buddha temple.
That's about it for today.
