I went to all the stores I wanted to and let my kids go to all of the stores they wanted to, and then finally my sister got to her store and I complained that we were all tired and wanted to go home.

What a great start to the day. I know that my first instinct should be to go find somewhere else to work since I can’t work from home right now but it’s also a brutal thunderstorm and that’s perfect weather for staying in bed.
