Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-11-2024 — Washington State

11th November, 2024.

I am officially up!

Yay!

And I’m officially busy.

My weight management meeting is this morning: hopefully, I’ll’ve lost more weight, regardless of how much I’ve lost.

This afternoon … ?

I’ve got a hygienist appointment.

At some point, between the two … I plan to get more sleep!

I feel knackered!
