You made it to Friday! Cross that off your list. Actually, that might be a great way to get something done at least once a week. Add “Make it to Friday” to your to-do list and then every Friday enjoy the satisfaction of having actually crossed something off. Make it to Friday. Ahhhhhh. Don’t forget it’s Mothers Day on Sunday. Not that you’re going to be able to do anything with Mom. Maybe, you know, just fucking look after yourself like a responsible adult and stop letting her do the lion’s share of care-giving, you ungrateful bastard.
As a reward for your survival, I’m going to try to make this news dump without a single Covid story in it… Can I do it? Stay tuned.
