The Best of the Best, Volume #001

The Best of the Best, Volume #001

Ahh, thank goodness it’s Friday! It’s been a super busy week for me as my boyfriend’s been sick for the past four or five days, so I’ve been playing nursemaid for him. Plus, Magellan decided it was a good time to limp around the house, too, so I’ve been tending to him this past week as well. (For the record, the boyfriend is–hopefully–on the mend, and Magellan’s limp is less noticeable now.)  Boy, I am so ready for the week to end–bring on the weekend!  I’m hoping my weekend involves plenty o’ sleep and R&R, what about you?
