Hello. It's Belinda. You probably know this by now but Abigail broke her leg. I've been worried sick about her. Technically I'm her boss, so I'm supposed to tell her to take time off to rest.

Hello. It's Belinda. How are you doing with the clocks being behind an hour? Or maybe you're ahead an hour. It all depends on where you live. I'm a bit "foggy" if you want to know the truth.

Hello. It's Belinda. Boo! Just kidding. It's almost Halloween. It's fun to pull a few "pranks." That's the whole point of the holiday in my opinion.
