Plans for a lengthy run with K2 were dead-ended by a call into work early morning.

Spent five-hours working through some bugs.  Hopefully, we are in an upward trend.

Walked Lily once in the evening for 1-Mile.

Furniture delivery in the morning, a 4.3-mile run in Granville mid-day, and a wrap up of several hours at work from mid-afternoon onward. 

Issues at work have been very time-consuming especially the last two weeks (I worked the equivalent of three full weeks during the past two actual).
