  • Purged more papers yesterda, including all but last old paystub and my resignation/retirement letter. Kept to see progression from 25 cents per afternoon for papa, then youth wage, then minimum wage.

  • Note to self: Do not take supplements BEFORE eating, especially on Alendronate day. :sick: Does anyone else detest haggling?
