Hey- these are difficult times, be kind to yourself! We all make mistakes! Don’t ever let it happen again 😂❤️
Ha thanks.
I didn’t realize my subscription was so intimidating that you’d be flustered into a typo! Sorry about that 😬

What’s your blood typo?

Everyone, even the best writers make mistakes.
No one I know walked on water on their way to the office, either, Jon. You’re doing a great job.
