Tuesday didn't start out so well, but it worked out better than I could have hoped for.
I was supposed to have a dental appointment at 8 am but when I got there, it turned out to actually be for 10 am.

Since I had two hours to kill, I went to the Mule Warts store that I seldom go to anymore. I was just planning on having a good look around when I ( Read more... )
