My car was ready yesterday, and DS took me to pick it up at around 11 am. It looks amazing! It looks better than the day I bought it. Of course, I had to pay $500 out of pocket, but I'm trying to let that go. That's what emergency funds are for.

I drove straight to the library and picked up some more books.

Today I'm going to go to the gym (after a week's break) and then to Aldi for a few groceries.

I babysat for the boys last night while DS & DIL went out to dinner with surprise visitors. It wasn't long, and I got a free dinner -- leftovers from Chinese takeout.

I made bread yesterday, but it was somehow cursed. Right from the beginning it was too dry, and I added water and oil after the fact. It turned out wrinkled and stunted. It tastes good, though! I may just call it artisan bread!
