It’s Friday.
I have been sick all week with this cold during a ridiculous heat wave and 1,000 per cent humidity. I. Am. Grumpy. (In case my lack of emoticons and exclamation marks didn’t tip you off.)
But, you guessed it! Feel Good Friday is going to make it all better. That, and candy.
So read up, and have yourself a Feel Good Friday.
