Something I never thought I would be thankful for: saline spray.
This weather and all the colds, using it with Jude has been one of the reasons we haven't had to miss a daycare day.
Use it people.

If I ever have to participate in a debate for anything in the future, I want to epitomize Bartlett in S4 E6.
Game on boyfriend.

A university wide initiative my team is spearheading kicked off this week. Feel free to send good vibes and coffee while we figure this whole thing out at @umichcampusinfo.

West Wing S2 hits me in all the feels. Watching it for at least the 5th time and still over here sobbing after the 18th and Potomac episode.

Today, my supervisor told me without any hesitation that I needed to take a day off in the next week to comp for events I willingly volunteered for over the weekend.
This is what having a unit and supervisors that prioritize care means.

I worked in Higher Ed Housing for 5 years and had to fight tooth for any flex or comp.time after extensive hours worked (read training, duty, opening etc). Easily clocking 60-70 hours in a week at times.

I got to spend the last 2.5 days with one of my oldest, closest friends who I haven't seen in over a year. While I love making new friends there is just something about people who know you, your mood, and your tells. Man I fucking missed @ErinLodes

It is August first, there are 3 working professionals in my house and all of us are on work calls. Wow, life is vastly different when you aren't in Housing anymore.

I have been having to cold call partners/companies for the past 2.5 months, describe what I need and leave an open ended question of "is this possible/tell me how to do this" and let me tell you, I have it down to a science now.

Tonight when Jude woke up, thanks 18mo sleep regression and popping another tooth, Roxie followed me to his room and laid outside til he was asleep. We don't deserve dogs.

The amount of times that Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson has been interrupted by Sen Hawley is deplorable.
That's it, that's the tweet.

I have left 4 roles since grad school and 2 of them have provided a going away party. I remember every person that was present.
I also remember the two positions that haven't and it really does say something.
I've recently been reminded that how you say goodbye to a departing employee is important to that individual, but it's maybe even more important to those who remain.

My wild Friday night has consisted of listening to my audiobook while laying in bed for the past 3 hours after my son fell asleep in less than 5 minutes.
I'd take this over a hangover inducing outing anytime.

Residents came to my office today to talk about a room move. 30 min later they stated they didn't want to leave my area because I have fidget toys and am a cool person.
I missed this part of my role, damn COVID.

Packing for my first (in person) conference in 2 years and will be gone for 3 full days. I have packed 6 different outfits and 3 different pairs of shoes.
I have a problem and I don't want it fixed.

Been feeling overwhelmed lately regarding my to-do lists but this morning was able to sit in my office and buy presents for upcoming life celebrations and milestones. Let me tell you, the serotonin is FLOWING.

I had a resident move in today named Haley James. I asked her if she watched One Tree Hill. She immediately responded yes. #littlethings
