• I was awake way before my alarm rang before 7 this morning-it was still dark when I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. That was fine though because when my alarm did ring, I had already finished my phone time and was ready to wake up.
• I woke up Whitman, and we left for Raymar first. Robby came a little bit later; followed by Graham for his first shift of the fall. Whitman so enjoys the concession stand, and it is so good for him-talking clearly to people, having to be polite, plus quite a bit of activity.
• Robby left pretty early because he had quite a few errands to run in Hot Springs today. I told Graham that he could leave, but he ended up staying a bit longer to chat with a friend. Then on the way home, he had to stop and get gas-this was his first time to pump gas, and he did just fine even though he was a little stressed about it.
• When Whitman and I made it home, he was pretty chatty so I sat on the couch and crocheted while I talked to him. He eventually went upstairs so I read some of my book-lately, when I do get in bed I am pretty tired and only have the energy to stare at my phone instead of hold a book and read, so my reading has greatly slowed down.
• Nonna and Pops had to drop the girls off at their babysitting job this morning. As soon as the game was over, I got the texts saying "leave," "leave," and "leave now." I had already seen that Robby was on his way home, so he was close enough to pick them up. 
• He was home for about 10 minutes, and we left again. We headed back to Hot Springs to pick up Anderson's new car. Jason bought a new car and sold us his old car today in Hot Springs so it worked out that Robby met him, and they moved his old car so we could pick it up later.  
• We zoomed on back towards town from Hot Springs-but not too fast because police were out everywhere. Robby and I took the new car to the car wash and then spent a good bit of time cleaning the inside. 
• Afterwards, we ran a few errands, and Robby made a delivery on the way home. He just pulled into the driveway, and I hoped into the car. We went to the Wilsons for a bit of chatting. While we were gone, Keaton and Whitman hung pictures of themselves throughout the house, and Campbell hemmed a dress. 
• We made it home a bit after 10, and Robby has some work to do so I'm going to stay on the couch or possibly I'll be productive (probably not).
