I’m self-employed and work at home, and rarely take an entire day off. Because of this, I often have some trouble remembering what day of the week it is. All day today, I’ve had the feeling that this is Friday. I’ve no idea why. I have to keep checking, and I know it’s really Tuesday, but it still feels like a Friday. It’s even worse since I got Tivo. I don’t even know when my favorite shows are on anymore. They get recorded and I watch them when I have time. So is today really Tuesday, and is there any reason why I shouldn’t just think of it as Friday? ---

I’m pretty sure it’s Tuesday. Or maybe it’s actually Thursday! ---

Actually, until this post, I kind of thought today was Monday, because I worked from home yesterday. I feel your pain. ---

For a small charge, I can make every day Monday. Or Thursday. But Friday is extra.
