Friday? What a what a week. Did this week just feel like it went on for everyone else? Is it just me

0:59.5

truly never ending? Maybe it was the daylight savings, which I know people complain about all the time.

1:04.8

It really really got me. Typically I would spend the beginning talking about what I'm watching or
