Hello! I have a to-do list as long as my leg and a stockpile of iced coffee and frozen meals from Trader Joe’s AND I JUST GAVE MYSELF A MANICURE YESTERDAY (while I was editing the latest A+ Inbox LIVE podcast, as is my custom) so what I’m saying is, nothing will stop me from achieving my goals today.
