I just had a pretty visceral memory of a recurring back-and-forth between me and a pretty nasty clinical director. At one point in my career I commuted over an hour to my job. It was a salary job, so time sheets weren’t a thing. But I usually got in 15min after the place opened…

While we been occupied elsewhere Trump’s Postmaster General is actively destroying our public postal service. You have to go to the post office to send anything larger than a small envelope. (No tray door, just a slit for envelopes)

Good Morning Y’all

Standing in our new home, in the kitchen, enjoying a glass of good scotch. The house is quiet, the furnace thrumming, the refrigerator buzzing and whooshing. Everyone is asleep and safe. A moment of contentment. Good night y’all.

My 5mo+ son just took a 1.5hr nap on my big sister’s shoulder ❤️. First time she saw him in person since he was a few weeks old.
