Hope everyone out there is ok, has enjoyed & stayed safe with fireworks, & that you're all snuggly toasty this eve
*beautiful bearhugs*

No AFness for me either this weekend although today was nowhere near as bad as yesterday. So tomorrow will be a new day for me as well. I'll be thinking of you next week Mari as I'll be on the one day at a time journey as well.0
