Today…
is “Single Working Women’s Day.” Pass.
And on a Wednesday, that’s just rude.
is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day and National White Wine Day, for when your Single Working Women’s Wednesday gets you down.
That song has been in my head for days, as it does during prescription refill week. It takes so many VMs over so many days to get the 13yo’s “school medicine” refilled… “and you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter / and she hates you and your friends but you just can't get served without her.”
