Today has been a wild day. Up early, though I did sleep in somewhat. I decided to forgo the workout today as my right thigh has been bugging me. It's like I've got a perpetual Charlie horse in it.

I managed to enjoy a nice quiet day today. I let myself sleep in, had an appointment with M, and enjoyed some Red Dead Redemption 2.
