CJ And Jenn’s Everything You Need To Know For Monday, February 17, 2020
Good morning Sugahs. It's Monday. It's also Presidents Day. I wonder if George Washington ever thought Presidents Day would become a day to get a great deal on a new mattress? (lol) Keep in mind Monday is no different than any other day of the workweek. We need to stop hatin' on poor Monday. Dense fog advisory this morning, light rain and 73 today. Acadiana will have rain through Thursday, clearing on Friday.
