I've got some good news and I've got some bad news. Let's get the bad news out of the way so we can focus on the good stuff. Remember that cough I've had?

No Starbucks today. The kid had today off of class because he has to go in tomorrow to take a test. Instead, we had an emergency oil change done (emergency because the light started flashing in my car), grocery shopped, did bio homework, and studied more for the math test. Tomorrow I'm not sure how long I'll have while...
