Her Meowjesty, Princess Penny, crossed over the rainbow bridge yesterday. Penny, you are so loved. 🤍 🌈 🐾
Thank you for walking up to me in an alley in 2009. Thank you for being such a wonderful little sister to Munchkin, a big sister to Luffy, a momma to Vivi & Sanji, and a grandma to Lily.

We cannot fight for any of our freedoms without first having the freedom of speech.
Whatever you care about, your ability to fight for it just got weaker.
Stand up, speak up. Speak with your wallet, speak with your vote, speak with your actions, and speak with your words as loud as you can.

150 days of Penny being such a brave and strong fighter. Thank you for every bonus day you give me, little lady. 🥹 You are so patient and trusting through the supplements, insulin, and trips to the vet’s office. I love you so so much. 🩷🐾

I just tried to label a column as “2024 Q5”. It should be 2026 Q1. I’m losing years and gaining quarters over here. 😅

Ever since Penny came home from the hospital, I've been tracking her food intake down to the gram, taking note what percentage of her calories have come from kibble, wet food, and treats.

I was approached for help.
I gave a proposal.
I was scoffed at.
I adapted the proposal.
I was ghosted.
I was approached again.
I wished them well but declined.
I was scolded.
I closed my laptop.
I laughed.
Know your worth.
Protect your boundaries.
Keep your peace.

To the people who drive with their music so loud that it can be clearly and loudly heard from 200 feet away and through thick glass … what’s your favorite brand of hearing aids?
Also, is your car super glued together? Or do you have to tighten a bunch of parts after every few songs?

Say what you will about #adtech. The most egregious false advertising I routinely come across is our cat Luffy laying belly up in the hallway. It’s a lie. It’s always a lie.

4 months ago today, Penny landed in the hospital. She fought her way through DKA, a blood transfusion, & so much more.
17 weeks ago today, Penny had surgeries to remove her spleen — and a massive tumor on it — and get a feeding tube.
Today, Penny is a purry, sassy, nearly 17 year old lady.

Just finished submitting all the scores and notes for the award category I was judging for the US Travel ESTOS Awards.
Several solid campaigns, some fuzzy impact numbers, and one campaign that made me cry it was so good. Good luck to everyone!

BRB gonna add the ability to successfully negotiate with a spoiled senior cat — who can’t hear, has high expectations, and imposes ever-shifting priorities & preferences — to my resume. 😅
PS: Penny is eating wet food and even a bit of kibble today (after her treats-only protest yesterday)

One year ago right now, EMTs were plucking me off the pavement after I crashed an electric scooter and was pretty banged up. A couple hospitals, a bunch of stitches, a metal plate & 10 screws, and lots of patience later, I’ve since walked nearly 600 miles. Thanks, science! 😅🙌🏼
