Leaving sticky notes with bad biology puns in my wife’s lunch bag. "I’ve got my ion you." It’s the little things that keep the morale bar high during flu season. #Marriage #Puns #LoveLanguage

To the student who asked if we can "just skip" the test today: I admire your charisma stat, but your intelligence check failed. The test remains. #TeacherLife #Education #NiceTry

Sunday recovery mode. The kids are watching cartoons, wife is sleeping in after a chaotic week at the hospital. I’m just sipping coffee and reading lore for next session. Peace is a rare loot drop. #SundayVibes #QuietMorning #SelfCare

Cooked dinner for my wife. We ended up reminiscing about meeting in the campus coffee shop 15 years ago. She’s still my favorite campaign partner. Critical hit on the heartstrings tonight. Happy V-Day, folks. #Romance #Valentines #MyPerson

Budget is tight this month (cursed car repairs), so tomorrow’s Valentine’s plans involve a home-cooked meal and zero babysitters. Honestly? Sounds better than a crowded restaurant anyway. #ValentinesDay #FrugalLiving #IntrovertWins

What did the biologist wear to his first date? Designer genes. (The silence in my classroom was deafening. I take that as a compliment.) #DadJokes #ScienceHumor #TeacherLife

Respect to all the single parents out there. I’m doing this solo for a few days while my wife works late, and I am exhausted. Leveled up my respect for the "Manage Household" skill check. #Parenting #Exhausted #DadLife

Flu season is hitting the hospital hard. My wife (the real MVP) is pulling extra shifts this week. I’m running the home front solo. Color-coded chore charts have been deployed. Lawful Good parenting in full effect. #DadMode #SupportClass #HealthcareHeroes

We are building "Mount Doom" in the kitchen for the Science Fair. I may have calculated the stoichiometry to ensure maximum eruption height. If we’re doing a cliché, we’re doing it with precision. #ScienceDad #ProjectTime #VinegarEverywhere

Thursday D&D report: The party is arguing with a door for 45 minutes. Not a trap. Just a locked door. Sometimes the hardest puzzle is just basic carpentry. I love these nerds. #DND #DungeonMaster #TabletopRPG

The 8-year-old needs a Science Fair project. I suggested water filtration or a botany study. He suggested... a volcano. Again. I tried to resist, but the allure of baking soda and vinegar is genetic, apparently. #ScienceFair #DadLife #Chemistry

February. Shortest month, but somehow feels the longest. Entering this month with a new strategy: Survival Mode. Coffee reserves are stocked, and lesson plans are (mostly) done. Let’s roll. #NewMonth #TeacherLife #SurvivalMode

Survived January. The car works, the students are engaged, and the party is alive (barely). Time to rest and recover spell slots. Bring on February. #MonthInReview #SelfCare #TeacherLife

The sustainability project was approved! "Operation Photosynthesis" is a go. Time to get these kids digging in the dirt. Turning anxiety into action feels... logical. #TeacherWins #EcoFriendly #Hope

Game night! Bringing extra snacks as a peace offering for almost killing everyone last week. Hopefully, they forgive me. If not, I have a wandering merchant with discounted potions ready to go. #DND #Snacks #Forgiveness

What is a geologist’s favorite type of music? Rock and Roll. I’ll be here all week, try the cafeteria lasagna. #DadJokes #MorningHumor #SciencePuns

Helping the youngest with a drawing. She wants to be a "Veterinarian Princess." I told her that’s a dual-class build, likely Druid/Noble. She looked at me like I’m weird. She’s not wrong. #Parenting #DND #DadLife

Still feeling a little guilty about the encounter difficulty last night. ISFJ problems: I want to challenge them, but I feel bad when I hurt their fictional characters. Need to calibrate my encounter balance. #DmProblems #Compassion #Gaming

My heart is still racing. Nearly TPK'd the whole party. Silence at the table was deafening. But they pulled off a miracle play at 1 HP! I love this game. I hate this game. I love this game. #DND5e #CloseCall #EpicMoments

Heading to friend's house for game night. I have a boss fight planned that might be... a little too tough. I’m nervous. Am I a cruel god? Or just a DM who wants them to earn their loot? #DND #DungeonMaster #Tabletop

Teaching tip: If you want students to pay attention, compare the immune system to a castle defense strategy. White blood cells are basically the city watch. Suddenly, everyone is listening. #TeachingHacks #NerdLife #Biology

My wife is a saint. She saw me stressing over the car repairs and just made coffee and put on our favorite record. Healers/Support classes are the most important members of the party, hands down. #Grateful #Marriage #PartnerInCrime

Mechanic called. The TARDIS will live, but my wallet took massive damage. Looks like I’m cancelling that preorder for the new monster manual. Saving throws failed all around this week. #Adulting #BudgetLife #DND

The minivan (we call it the TARDIS) decided to break down in the rain this morning. Pretty sure the alternator rolled a 1. Waiting for a tow and trying to channel my inner Paladin, but feeling more like a tired Barbarian. #CarTrouble #DadLife #MurphysLaw
