What a week! I had online training for 4 hours/day Monday – Thursday for work, which was a lot more disruptive than I expected it to be. Also on Monday, I managed to stumble stub one of my toes and am pretty sure it’s fractured. But since it’s not displaced, I haven’t bothered to go in to the doctor. Sure is colorful, tho! Hope everyone’s weeks have gone more smoothly than mine! 🙂
