Going in to pack up the office. W00t! # Change in plan: had to pick up son from school. Will go back to office next week. # Last minute stuff before we hit the (crowded) roads.

The heat was off in our office this morning (a fault in the thermostat). It’s freaking freezing in here! Need another bowl of coffee… # Office thermostat now reads 72F, but it doesn’t feel like it.
