Usual weekend deadlines for the usual weekend posts.
Your Friday safety brief:

Take some time with yourself and loved ones this weekend. Everyone have a good weekend. Hug yourself at least once. Look in the mirror and remind yourself that you’re the only you that exists. That everything in the universe had to line up just right for you to be here.
That makes you pretty damn special.
Remember to get sleep. Don’t drive or work for 12 hours straight like me. Don’t trust a smiling doctor. Don’t believe anyone who says “This won’t hurt.” If you have access to medical care, get things checked out, don’t put it off.
Don’t drink and drive. Don’t add or subtract from the population unless it is with your issued significant other and you have filed the correct paperwork with PERSCOM. Run toward the screams not away, someone will come visit you in the hospital. Don’t beat your spouse unless it’s in the bedroom and she’s into it, don’t beat or ignore your kids, your significant others or your pets. You can sleep, the clown won’t eat you. Get the candy first before you get in the van. Don’t smuggle midgets across state lines and consult county ordinances before taking them across county lines. Don’t buy, sell, manufacture, transport, or take illegal drugs. Don’t touch Willy, he doesn’t like it.
Do touch base with the people you love, try to help one person who needs it even if it’s just opening a door, and remember to love yourself.
