It’s Tuesday! Which is actually kind of depressing. I hate to be one of those “I can’t wait until Friday” people, but when it’s only Tuesday and it feels like an entire week has gone by, you know you’re in trouble.

Daily Scoop: May 5, 2015 – Cinco de Game-O
Today is Cinco de Mayo, which used to mean I went out drinking, usually to local watering hole Mad Mex. But, sadly, I can’t drink anymore, so I’ll likely spend it eating froyo and working on writing. Like, a lot of writing. Which actually sounds… amazing?
