When I woke up yesterday morning I would have sworn on a Bible that it was Thursday. It wasn’t until I was meeting with my staff that I realized it was Wednesday. Talk about disappointing…
But I’m pretty sure today has been Thursday all day, which means tomorrow is Friday, which means it’s almost the weekend. YAY!
Not a whole lot happening over here…just moving along like normal. The rash I’ve been dealing with since late November is almost completely gone - YAY! - and I’m now learning the dry skin that caused some of it is likely a side effect of menopause. Awesome. So apparently slathering expensive moisturizing cream all over my skin is my new normal. Cool, cool.
I just read that it’s National Drink Wine Day…you’re welcome. This does nothing for me, of course, since I don’t drink alcohol, but maybe I’ll have some extra iced tea to celebrate with you. Tomorrow is National Chocolate Mint Day, just in case you were wondering. I can definitely get involved with that.
Hope all is well in your world…more tomorrow…
