Make up time
When I had the flu I missed two weeks of classes, now I have to make them up. This morning was one of those make up classes. The sky was epic!!

Magnificent Mel, I can’t believe you got out of bed so early though, how are you keeping your eyes open, or are you flying on autopilot?
Mel Brackstone replied
I can’t believe I got out of bed so early either….and yes, I think I am running on autopilot. Scott is quite excited about having a sleep in tomorrow! Lets hope his wish comes true….
