Tired nurse, mom, and grad student. I love reading and collecting books. Introvert. Visiting National Parks = my favorite vacations. (She/Her)

Views are my own.
We watched the first two episodes of Welcome to Derry tonight with the Eldest Teenager. It was really good; we all enjoyed it, and it was hard to go to bed without watching the third episode.

Should I be awake right now? No.

Did I wake up thinking about my project timeline and couldn't go back to sleep? Yes.

Does the notes app on my phone now have a rough draft timeline with rollouts, end dates, and meeting dates? Yes.

Can I go back to sleep now? TBD.

Happily resting after a busy day by listening to Christmas music, finishing my last Halloween book, and drinking a margarita.

Happy Friday Eve ❤️📚🍹

First time in years my husband didn't bring me a Starbucks red cup and a coffee treat after dropping the kids off at school (a tradition that started when I worked night shift).

We are prounion in this household, so I guess it’ll be a while before I get a coffee. #nocontractnocoffee
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I know that future me will be very happy to have my Master’s degree, and I'll be excited to graduate in August. BUT present me wants to go back in time and kick past me in the teeth for applying to grad school.

It's fine. Everything is fine here.

Everyone’s cuddling up to Claude on a rainy morning. Who doesn’t love the famous albino alligator from the California Academy of Sciences?

When my semester is over, perhaps it’s time for a visit. I love it when the Cal Academy is decorated for the holidays.

After working three 12hr shifts I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to the scary kitty curled up in a ball sleeping next to me. ❤️

*she’s scary because she’s unpredictably bity and scratchy.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva says protecting victims in the Epstein files should be a nonpartisan issue. "It shouldn't be democrats. All of us should be beyond appalled that anyone would stand in the way of finding out who is responsible and making sure they have justice."

After a very long day, I need to sit on the couch with takeout and rejuvenate with The Great British Bake Off.

I'm sure this will fix me.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Something to celebrate:

When I was a new nurse on night shift, I worked with an amazing CNA who was taking prerequisites for nursing school & raising her family.

Today I had the pleasure of welcoming her to the floor for her first shift as a new nurse.

❤️🎉

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

BERNIE: “This senate is about to make a horrific situation even worse… health insurance premiums will double/triple/quadruple… some will pay 50% of their income… 15 million will lose insurance… 50,000 will die unnecessarily…”

I’m so disappointed in the Senators. They didn’t learn anything from Tuesdays elections & voter turnouts.

Losing ACA subsidies is going to be devastating for millions of people.

Premiums will continue to skyrocket to cover costs of all the newly uninsured who will still need to seek treatment.
Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

In addition to making a recurring donation, see if your employer has a matching program; many employers will match 100%.
Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District.

And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

When I'm late getting the peanuts out and the scrub jays are forced to eat seeds like the regular birds.

Usually they just stare into my kitchen window until I come out and fill the peanut feeder.

8:01pm and MSNBC called it for Prop 50 🎉

Way to go California 👏🏼
California, do you need a sign to go vote Yes on 50? Consider this it.

There's been some soul-crushing election nights. Tonight gives me hope for 2026 and 2028.

Democrats, take note, this is what the people want.
