Good morning everyboomie.
Ok, today is.....mmmm, oh yeah, it's the day before tomorrow.
I don't know how I forget that every single week.
After all, the day before tomorrow is the day before the weekend.
I keep thinking that TODAY is the day before tomorrow, but today of course, is the day after yesterday. Silly me.
Maybe I should say, senilly me.
Get it?
Anyway there are more important things that I want to talk about than what day it is.
I can't remember those either.
Have a happy day everyone.
