I know it is a strange time right now. Most people are not going to work, so when the weekend rolls around it can be barely noticeable. The monotony of our current situation, where one moment bleeds into the next before it is even finished, means that it can seem like we are doing everything and nothing all at the same time. To answer the great Dame Maggie Smith’s question, “What IS a weekend?” It is the perfect time to celebrate the end of the week with a little something special. Maybe some Irish cream in your morning coffee or a cupcake for breakfast… or maybe THE BEST DAMN BLOODY MARY YOU WILL EVER TASTE!
