Made scrambled eggs for breakfast, enough to put 2 extra servings in the fridge for the next two breakfasts. Finished the ARC I was reading. Had to pay bills since it was payday.

My mom came and got me at 9:45 to go to a donut and coffee event at her Mini-Cooper dealership. She and my stepdad had been really involved since they got their first one like 20 years ago?
