Where did the weekend go?
Before I know it, it’s Monday morning, and the working week begins again. I’m fortunate. I have a great job and work with terrific people, but I confess I’d love a 3 day weekend every now and again. If I had an extra day, I promise I wouldn’t waste it. I’d be so productive my Continue reading
