“I think you can kiss your goal goodbye.”
“I’m sure I can make it up, I can’t be that far behind.”
“You are. Everything’s been piling-up. If you used actual Sticky Notes or paper instead of your phone, there wouldn’t be any space for me to move.”
“Give me a break. You know how packed the last two weeks were.”
“No break, get to it.”
“But…”
“GET TO IT!”
“Fine”
“You can start with today’s blog post first.”
I wanted to write something funny & romantic but the past few weeks have been so packed, I think I’m out of ideas 🤔.

During 2 Category 3 Hurricanes and the destruction of my apartment and now with my car’s tires buried in 5 inches of ice, I am having similar self-conversations! Nice light-hearted post. 🙂

That was fun. I feel it so much.
I come from a time long before smartphones. I used to write notes to myself on scraps of paper and stick them in my purse. Unfortunately, my dinosaur would always eat them.
