I forgot to mention grace.

I would like to thank anyone who noticed for not making a big deal about me missing day four.

Or day five.

Or six or seven. 

When I said that prescriptive lists are not my thing, I forgot to mention that an extra measure of grace would be needed for October. Thankfully, you didn't forget to show it. 

I will say, though, I was still sticking to the topic...

I was just doing it in real life.
