Even working until 11pm last night I didn't get done everything I needed so into work before 6am again. After a long day with a sore back and then an even longer work night (done at 11:30pm) I finally finished one of the three things I had on my to do list and called it a night. With the weather turning south Sandra will need the car more so before I went to sleep I dropped off a change of clothes and my work stuff in lab. No run, wanted to give my back another day rest and knee about the same. Good news is today is the first day I didn't have to take Dayquil, so at least the cold seems like it is gone.
