My back is killing me this morning. Don't know why, but it is. Luckily today is Sunday (right?) and I don't have anything to do. That I'm aware of at least.

My morning was hectic. I was up early so I could brave the grocery store. The big grocery store which used to be 24 hours is now 8am to 10pm. I got there at 7:45ish and there were at least 50 cars in the parking lot and about 20 people in line to get in. In the rain mind you. I waited until 7:55 and went and joined them. We mad dashed in and I was smarter than most by grabbing a wet cart from outside. It saved me a few precious seconds getting inside. Those seconds allowed me to get to the paper aisle quicker. Yeah, I know. But I got more toilet paper. Leave me alone. I also managed to get chicken, hamburger, and ribs. Things were moderately stocked but we were also the first ones through the door. I hate to think would be left for people showing up at 10am or later. I did manage to get 100% of everything on my list. Including toothpaste, all food items, bread flour (last one of those), and B's preferred flavor of a specific yoghurt. I rock. One thing I also picked up was a black light bar. We have decided to take the tarp off the couch downstairs but to do so we had to make 100% sure there was no remaining urine marks or smell. Hence the black light.

After being gone for over 90 minutes, made it back home with my bounty. Got everything put away and waited for B to get up. Once she was up we went down to the basement with the blacklight. What we found was a stain on the carpet from the previous owner. None of our cats have ever peed on a floor and it was so dried into the carpet it was invisible, except under the blacklight. Boom. Unfortunately I ran out of cleaning stuff and had to hit PetSmart. Not a bad trip. Was the only one in there and still got my 50% off deal. Got two gallons of cleaner for the price of 1. Also picked up another small cannister filter for the 36 gallon tank. We are moving that into my office and I need a silent filter for it. Got a $200 for $50 thanks to it already being on sale.

Got back, cleaned, and took care of some other cleaning around the house. B's sister came over in the afternoon. The 10 year old. We have agreed to help out by taking ONE child at a time to reduce stress and give them time apart. Made BBQ chicken with mac and cheese for dinner. After dinner, we watched Onward. CUTE AF. I had no expectations going into it and really enjoyed it. Finished the movie and played some games for a while. We played Set and Bananagrams.

Sent the kid to bed and unwound. Around 10:30 she wasn't feeling well and had a little hork moment. All was good and everyone went to bed.

Again, no plans for today. Might move the fish tank, but that's about it.
