Me: don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Also me, updating my website: WHY can't I get the spacing right, why won't these columns align, why is this picture so big, why is this font so small... #momswritersclub #5amwritersclub #writinglife

Me: Felt like a rubber band snapped in my foot. Can't bear weight on it. I need an MRI. Primary care: You're out of town; go to Urgent Care Urgent Care: We can only do x-rays; if you need MRI go to ER ER: ($250 copay). Let's do an X-ray. 🙄 #5amwritersclub #momswritersclub
