Link Love: Is it Thursday Already?

Somehow, I completely misplaced Wednesday. It happens sometimes. Things get a little chaotic and BOOM! I forget what day it is and when sense returns, I am stunned to realize I misplaced a whole day. I blame it on a rift in time. At least we remembered to put out the trash last night. That would have caused a much bigger stink than being a day late on Link Love, right?
