Rabbit rabbit! Happy September, which, blah. Even though it continues to be actual, official summer through September 22, I am trying to switch myself into an autumnal mindset. Today is also National Forgiveness Day (I forgive, I do not forget), National Acne Positivity Day (I do not observe, I hate breakouts), and National Burnt Ends Day which is not about my hair after I use a curling iron, but rather the burnt ends of brisket.
