Every single summer I feel like I have maybe two weeks between “ah, spring is finally turning into summer” and then “oh gosh, it’s basically fall already, better check everything off your summer list!” It’s so stressful! I blame retail and academia 😂

First tomato harvest of the year! There are so many on my vines this year and I am thrilled. This one is from an unknown variety passed down from my great grandfather’s farm and kept going by my aunt now.

This podcast has quickly become one of my most cherished. ❤️
This week on Vibe Check, I talked about my mother’s recent death, and grieving, and getting through. So grateful to @zachstafford.bsky.social and @theferocity.bsky.social for holding space.

Today has had everything: an all nighter at the hospital, a new nephew born, mom going to the ER while we’re already at the hospital, caffeine, more caffeine, me trying to work remote, another coworker quitting, a corndog, picking up my Peach Truck peaches, seaweed salad. I am tired.
