Here’s to next week
This week:
- Gastroenteritis on the first 2 days of the kids’ back-to-school, while wife away, losing 8lbs in the process? Check.
- Getting back on my feet? Check.
- Getting back to my usual energy level? Nope, I’m beat…
- Leaving Saturday for a week-long meetup with my work team in the beautiful Mexican West Coast sun that is sure to make it all okay? Check!!!
So here’s to next week (or Sunday, at least). 🙂
