I actually thought of this the 26th, two days after the holiday. This is the first year I haven’t remembered the holiday when I see July 24th written someplace. I guess I have finally moved out.

Yeah, the new man in my life. My realtor. Who did you think it was? Tall, dark, gorgeous and Canadian?!

I’m with one day left to go in this Week From Hell. My fuse is nonexistent and anything and everything drives me into a knee-knocking panic or a flying rage. Ah, fatigue. What it does for your life.
