The Work Week

The Work Week

I had a longer weekend than usual. I added a few of my vacation days to the normal two-day weekend for a much needed break, and I’ve come to this conclusion: Every week should consist of two work days and five days of weekend.

My Body’s in a Whirlwind of Motion this Month

September is turning out to be rowdier than August. August was lazy, hot, slow, and whiny—never wanting to do anything, go anwhere, see anyone. Always wanting to put things off.
