I'm sure we've all had these a few times before, a week when you just couldn't get the day right, where you think it's the next day (or a day early) already and it throws off your entire week.
Terribly annoying ....
Hopefully, the extended weekend will put me back on the right track.
Out house guest leaves tomorrow morning, only to be replaced by the in-laws in the afternoon ... joy joy :)
Had my mind set on watching "Leverage" and "Dark Blue," but the day went by too quickly, and next thing I know I've got a house full of people to entertain. Such hardship! :)
