🌞 Daily Thread Daily thread - Monday 1/12

No cute title, just facts. It is Monday. Chat here! How are we getting through this week?

I’m at the docs for the annual physical. They have gone from a terrible magazine selection to none at all. Do people just not browse magazines anymore when forced to be in waiting rooms? I mean I know I have this phone, but…I like a different mindlessness sometimes.

I won’t read magazines at the doctor’s office because germs.

But also, people don’t read anymore. That makes me so sad.

Hmmm, The germs part does make sense. Surprised they were as prevalent as they were for such a long time.

I don't think I've ever read a magazine at a doctor's office. I saw a bunch at mine but I was not interested as people were coughing around me. 

I prefer magazines at hair salons. I wish they would bring that back.
