First of all, I want to give a shoutout to Agape Eco Nail Salon in Elk Grove. They had a customer appreciation day today, and I got a free manicure.

They deserve a medal just for dealing with my dry, disgusting man hands.

Not only did I get a free manicure, but they also had a complimentary buffet.

I had a 2 pm date at the cemetery with an, um, "actor", and we had plans to go to Whiskey Social at The Porch afterwards, so I summoned an Uber. Halfway through the ride, this happened:

Thankfully my driver offered to turn around and take me home. Alexander, you are a gentleman and a scholar. He will hopefully be contributing a story to the blog soon (if you're reading this, hit me up at nicole@thebeentheredonethatproject.com).

Verdict: the date was dead before it even started. At least I get a nap in today, plus my friends Jessica and Erin and I have been writing short stories and working on Journal 29.

I might post something else humorous tonight if I feel so inclined. See you all when I wake up.
