Good and Meh 2023 Week 38
Good: Tuesday: Ill effects of the Covid booster were completely gone. Wednesday: It was our monthly in-office day.

Today was the first day I completed it without taking a breakFriday: First day of a ...
Friday 5: Don’t tip the boat over
Happy Friday, friends! It's also National Ice Cream Cone Day, Car Free Day (I take public transit at every opportunity, but I also think the car free movement can be unrealistic) and American Business Woman's Day. I'm observing that day by being off from work today and Monday to burn off the last of the PTO I can't carry over to TNP's next fiscal year, which starts October 1.

Friday 5: Happy hour
Oh my geez, it's cliched but TGIF. I mentally limped toward the finish line this week. If you don't mind, I'm skipping right to the Friday 5 this week. The theme is Happy hour and I'm here for that! I'm going to relax a bit so I can be alive for movie night tonight. Because my birthday was, er, recent, I got to pick the movies that went into the poll for tonight's movie night. Looks like it's going to be Grease 2, featuring the best bowling-themed song ever. ...
