Well, you did it again. You made it to another meaningless weekend during which you can finally not feel guilty about wearing track pants all the time, AND can have that extra glass of wine. Yes, the world is both coming to life and crumbling around us, and you are alive to see it happen. It’s amazing times, people, even if they’re difficult ones (pro tip: all times are difficult for those in them). Think of it this way: you have permission to do whatever you want for two days while the Burger King drive-thru is open and you can order pot online. What a time to be alive.
