I went through most of yesterday thinking it was Friday. It sure will be nice to return to a time of the year where I (sometimes) know what day it is.

I’m retired and I normally don’t know what day of the week it is anyway, so you can imagine how confused I am now. However, filling myself with chocolate helps (helps me to not care).
