Ok, so weekend was shop, clean, church. Had to help a co-worker with a thing. Misplaced my power supply-had to drive to work to get another-ferried C around too. Slept in, shop. Got S from theatre camp. E bought a red Rav4-lower payments, but higher debt. Watching the Tour. Trying to find a bigger place-we might move next door-C doesn’t like it. The usual weekend stuff-I’m feeling, well I don’t know. Back to work. My BP is OK, no colon issues.<\/p>\n
