Step Away From the Cake

 Well the first week back from spring break wasn't bad at all. I was looking forward to the weekend though, so I'm very glad it's here.  This has been a strange year.

So it's 10:30 and I already have 5,743 steps in . I will definitely hit my 10,000 today. I will work at hitting my 10,000 steps today.
