I was so brain-fried from work this week--I haven't come home not even able to think before. It's always busier in the mornings because the little old people that call me get up early and want everything taken care of before lunch and the rest of their schedules for the day.

We didn't have anything planned, which was perfect--we haven't had much relaxation time together in a long time.
