Took this poor pupper for a walk before it hit 80 degrees this morning and she’s still tuckered out.

A lot of the shrubs around here are half dead due to the severe cold snap last winter, but my rose bushes have never looked this good. I don’t get it.

I've read at least 14, almost all of them when I was in high school (including Don Quixote in Spanish, back when I could read Spanish). I've started Moby Dick at least half a dozen times and have never succeeded in getting even a quarter of the way through.

Abigail Spanberger, your years working at the CIA were all leading to this moment.

Years ago, the Ohio State Supreme Court ruled a gerrymandered map drawn by the GOP invalid & ordered them to use the existing maps. The GOP ignored the court and used the gerrymandered map anyway. Legal consequences? None. Virginia should do the same thing now. IGNORE THE COURT. USE THE NEW MAPS.

I got fitted for contacts for the first time yesterday and wore them for several hours today. Putting them in and taking them out was a real bitch. I honestly don’t know how people do this on a daily basis.

Who do you suggest I spread the word to? My elected representatives?

I love that my gym—which is traditionally male coded (barbells and dumbbells, those sleds that football players push, military flags everywhere)—is like 80% women this morning.
