Unfortunately, I got hungry so no make-up.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. You make it sound so funny now, but I know it was miserably awful for you yesterday. But that's the good thing about being a writer--even your worst days give you something to write about. Love you.
I'm going to make these fortunately/unfortunately posts a habit. I love them. I'm sorry you had a sucky day. I got stuck in the snow that same day too but FORTUNATELY (haha) I didn't need a shovel.
