I left work early Friday (at 1pm instead of 5pm) and after some needless driving around, finally made it to my destination: Saratoga National Historic Site where Revolutionary War battles were fought.

Morning started out fine... until I went to leave for EMT Airway Lab... flushed the toliet and it wouldn't stop overflowing. Landlord came to deal and 45 min later I leave and get to class late (as it's lab, no big deal and since twin is in class, I texted her and let her know and to tell the instructor) But after running errands, I get home about ( Read more... )
