a little bit of saturday

It's been one of those long, productive Saturdays even though it hasn't felt productive. Getting the week's grocery shopping done before 10am is awesome.

I'm also hoping she can help with some of the pain I've been having, which has been especially bad today since I overdid it yesterday, but more on that some other day.  I think it's high time for some crappy cell phone pictures.
