Things of Note:
Another week, another batch of readworthiness. You’re welcome. Otherwise, let’s see, what’s new this week… The hubs is minus 4 wisdom teeth and doing mostly ok with it. My car had a recall part operation and I don’t notice anything different (though to be fair it was a part for the sunroof controls, which I never use anyway). I’ve discovered way more about the nuances of vitamins that I ever thought I would (long story). I’ve also solidified plans for both my sister’s baby shower, and my business’ 10 year party. Woot.
I’m also almost exactly halfway through my reading goal for the year, with more than a month left ’til the temporal halfway point, so I’m kind of winning it right now.
What’s going on in your world right now?
