Keep moving forward but don't ever give up hope. It's good and I'm sure the next one will be, too.
Weekend good: seeing friends, getting rid of bookshelves, getting power strips, cleaning house, getting replacement airport ordered, church, getting music to a friend, playing board games, loverly weather.
Weekend bad: not enough sleep, no cooking or baking, biting nails, not finishing book for tonight's bookclub.
