Husband is buying xmas jerseys for our kids at the dome and just texted to ask if road grey is okay. I almost had a conniption fit.

Going to end on one of the most beautiful commercials ever made with the reminder and a call to remember the small things. They make a big difference to others.

Second appointment with my new GP this afternoon. I showed up and they told me my app't was last week.
