 Saturday:  Katie had asked if I'd go with her to run to the stores yesterday and I had plans with John.  She considered coming along with us but said no, she'd just wait.  Then asked if I'd go with her today.  I was more than happy to do so.  For one thing, I wanted to take advantage of the digital coupon sale on butter at Kroger (use 5xs, $1.88 pound) which is a great price and a savings of $1.11 over what I paid at Aldi earlier in the month).  I've also been fighting with my phone.  I can't recall...
