My post colonoscopy chaperone is taking me out for Mexican food. I'm so excited.

Work: there is currently a tornado watch in effect. We will remain open and should it be upgraded to a tornado warning, we will all shelter in place together. Me:

Sunday supper: pasta with chicken, broccoli in a cream sauce with sourdough bread

Sunday shenanigans. With @philaiv.bsky.social

In my dream, I was promised free unlimited banana pudding. I showed up and it was just blocks of Jarlsberg cheese for sale. What a scam

When the Lyft driver has the music up so loud you can’t even hear them speak... that’s not a noise complaint. That’s a 5-star review for an introvert. 🎧🙏

Getting ready for a meeting with my soon to be boss to discuss applying for my current position under our new leadership structure.

85F yesterday and the threat of snow today. This weather can fck right off.

My version of comfort food:

Frozen blueberries are nature's popsicles

The Boulevardier is a nice cocktail, but better than a Negroni? I'm not sure...

Ginger soy stir fried veggies with pan roasted salmon and a creme franchise dill sauce.

Salmon BLT on sourdough focaccia. Came out fantastic, but could have been smaller.

Here's a reminder to try new restaurants instead of going to your usual spots. Found a fantastic ramen restaurant in the food hall space above our Whole Foods. It's run by a local family and is some of the best I've had.

Spring is definitely starting to make an appearance. My Hyacinth bulbs are sprouting and my cat mint plant is waking up

Homemade sourdough focaccia in preparation for tomorrow's salmon BLTs

I typically listen to the same 3-4 songs l. My short commute. And then find new songs after a week or so

At the emergency vet with our cat. We walked in and they saw him panting and drooling and the lady yelled 'STAT' and moved us into the back and six people surrounded us. So far it seems like the cat was just being dramatic.

Funny. Doctor's office says arrive 20 minutes prior to the appointment, but they don't open the office until 15 minutes before 🤔

Trying to sign up for my annual N-95 fitting at work, but the system shows that I signed up for an appointment in 2024 and won't let me cancel that appointment or pick a new date 😆

Oh, that's right. It's still winter in Baltimore. 🥶🥶

Mentally and physically exhausted after this weekend. Very happy to be on my way home, even if it is a red-eye.

It's interesting to see the difference between a Negroni made by stirring all the ingredients and just pouring all the ingredients in a glass and adding ice. Completely different flavor profile

The centurion lounge just put out lobster tail and people are losing it. 😂

Got dropped off at the airport 3 hours before my red-eye back home so I could enjoy some quiet time after a long weekend.

It's been at least 5 years since I last had In n Out. I can confirm that Shake Shack is better.

My brother's cat gets up and meows every two hours.

The benefit to being on the west coast is that you can find a decent chile relleno.

on the west coast this weekend and dinner is at 6pm. Which is really 9pm for me. Help. 🫠

Lady on the plane ordering her food: I'm allergic to dairy, but I am going to risk it. Me:

Why do people lose all of their common sense once they get on an airplane?

30 minutes until we find out who the traitors are. Can't wait.

Facilities deciding to test the fire alarm system at 7am is not how I wanted to start my day.

I usually attribute my Monday exhaustion to going to the gym at 5am. However the gym was cancelled today due to the blizzard. I am still exhausted. Do I just hate Mondays?

I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to make the inside of an MRI tube look like an underwater scene with giant fish swimming in front of your face.

Why do they eat so many hard boiled eggs on The Traitors?

Out to lunch with @philaiv.bsky.social and per our bar tab, we will now be known as 'Ice Duo'. (We are sitting at the bed by the ice bin)

And we are done! See ya next year jury quiet room

Friday Schedule: 6:30 AM: Coffee 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM: Jury Duty aka trying not to make eye contact with anyone in a suit.

Perhaps one of my best looking loaves

If you're going to cold call me for a non-urgent work related issue at 720am, it better be for a good reason

Goodnight, little sourdough loaf. ☁️ Into the fridge for a long nap and some flavor development. See you tomorrow 🍞

Once a teams meeting has concluded, please discontinue chatting within the meeting.

I was just brought another drink. 🫠🙃

My seat mate who was overly concerned about not getting a pre-departure beverage is only drinking ginger ale.

The second flight has frozen water to supplement my beverage. That's a win.

Centurion Lounge: sorry, no liquor before 1030. We can only do Margaritas (Tequila) and Bloody Marys (Vodka). 🫠🙃

Wheels up and heading home.

I appreciate the enthusiasm from the guy at the Lounge this morning who gave me a run down of the buffet and emphasized the homemade salted caramel cinnamon rolls. After a detailed taste test, I'd suggest not telling everyone they are homemade.

To the lady running towards the gate yelling 'wait!': we have not yet started to board. Please breathe.
