Halfway Through

I am halfway through my 10 Tuesdays off. Having a third day off during the week and two days off (thanks to Wednesday being an off day) has really been reinvigorating me during the week.

Dad called Harold Walger and asked him to look around the lot for them. I was feeling sick. $300... Sign in to see full entry.
