MM: Silhouette

Not a traditional silhouette. Did some lateral thinking. Thanks to heanku for hosting mono Monday this month! Still looking for January and February hosts! Don’t be shy.

It was a hectic day but has ended on a high note. Katie Hobbs defeated the horrible, disgusting Kari Lake for Arizona Governor.

The hecticness (I like making up words) began with me oversleeping. For some inexplicable reason, my phone volume was off. I had just enough time to take a shower and shove half of a turkey sandwich down before heading to Tucson. I had an appointment an hour away for my cervical Botox injections. I arrived right on time then waited an hour for the doctor.

I drove directly to the American Legion Post in Green Valley for Hamburger Night. I was only 20 minutes late to meet up with friends who waited for me to eat.
