  • The boy has 3 birthday parties this weekend. None of them are for him, or I’d really be exhausted. #
  • Having a cinnamon dolce latte for first time in many weeks. It is much, much too sweet. I suspect it may get a DNF. #
  • Has seen five people today talking on their cell phones hands-full. I guess the honeymoon with the new law is over! #
