Xavier is starting hockey again and he will need some new pads this year. Last year in December he needed new pads so he got some. He used them for 2 months and then hockey ended. This time he is going to get some custom pads so he should have them in 8 weeks or…
Xavier needed some clothing for school and some new shoes. He is quite particular about both and he was on the verge of changing from boys to mens shoes. I am not capable of extending walking shopping. I have gone a couple of times in August where we were in the store for 5 minutes…

I need to take my oral medication on a full stomach at approximately 8am and 8pm each day. This requires me to eat in…
