Every day would be entirely too much!<\/p><\/div>\n

Estimated reading time: 5 minutes<\/p>This morning was full of amazing events!\u00a0 Mary beat me up\u2014though I guess it’s more accurate to say she was out of bed before I was.\u00a0 I could have sworn she made it look like an Olympic sport!\u00a0 I woke up to her already in the office filling our pill boxes, and I’m pretty sure I heard her whisper, “Gold medal for getting the coffee first!” The only thing I earned this morning was the silver medal in snoozing, but Lord knows, I need my beauty sleep!<\/span><\/p>\n

Today kicked off with a trip to Mary’s old office for her eye exam, where she was determined to prove that she doesn’t need glasses\u2014until she tried reading the eye chart and ended up mistaking “E” for “Z” and “F” for “Is that a cat?” The optometrist must have thought she was auditioning for a role in a comedy!\u00a0 By the end, I half-expected her to walk out wearing glasses with neon stickers and flashing lights on them, shouting, “OMG, I married you!”<\/span><\/p>\n

While waiting for Mary to arrive, I took a little detour into the rabbit hole of Facebook, where I stumbled upon a fantastic gentleman who speaks so candidly that I half-expected him to walk through the screen and shake my hand!\u00a0 This guy doesn’t just “say it like it is”; he says it like it’s a life-or-death situation and he’s the last lifeguard on duty!\u00a0 Honestly, I was both impressed and slightly terrified\u2014like I wanted to applaud him, hug him,\u00a0 and simultaneously wrap him in bubble wrap.<\/span><\/p>\n
