Off. 

Travel to Sagatauk area. I wasn't sure if we were going to go as I was teaching online and heard something going on downstairs. Charlie had hit Sawyer over the head with an adjustable wrench in the garage. I saw a little blood but didn't see the cut under his hair at first, which was about an inch or so long and deep, definitely requiring something to close it up. Five or six staples later, he was sewed up and doing much better. Tough kid. That had to hurt as they only put a topical ointment on it before stapling his head. We made it to Sagatauk and walked around and the boys played on the playground and we had dinner. 

I ended up sleeping in and skipping any sort of exercise as my legs are feeling completely smashed. Quite tired too. My ferritin has dropped to 30, which is fair from ideal. I expected it to go the other day. I imagine all the heat training and plasma donations haven't helped. 

Air turned quite smokey in the evening from the Canadian wildfires. I will likely take tomorrow off to as we are going to do a boat ride and some other stuff.
