In the past couple months, Pence has really turned into such a cuddle bug! She now spends every night on the couch next to me, instead of being on her own in the other room.

She’s really leaning into the “pet” life! #uglydogs

These two just got their first scooter run in this season! No photos or videos of the actual run, but they did great!

A quick little distracted sniff at the beginning that lead to a tangle, but once we got restarted they were pros!

Only went 0.75 miles but their top speed was 19.11mph!

Started @95hannahlouise.bsky.social’s big 30th birthday with breakfast in bed.

Now ending it with a nice steak dinner, baked potato and corn.

Can anyone spot the common theme here? She just wanted to give Hannah all the birthday love too!

Happy birthday, Hannah! Pence and I love you 💜😘

Pence is finally calmed down and resting after storms all day. She’s found a new home on a different couch today where she hangs out in the living room with us now!

#Bluesky is really trying to drive video on here. They now have a trending videos section that pops up in your feeds.

Idk about you, but I don’t come to Bluesky for short form video 🤔

Best cold/flu remedies? Ready, go!

A hot toddy counts as celebrating #StPatricksDay, right??

Trying to fight off the start of a cold so bourbon and honey flavored Theraflu is my drink of choice to celebrate today!

Mobile office this morning. Waiting on the pickleball courts to dry out. Thankful I’m able to sit go anywhere and work on my phone!

The sun is shining and it’s heating up, so should be on the courts soon 🤞🏼

Where I’ll be working for the next week!

An unplanned trip to Florida to take care of family means some productive time without being pulled into in-person meetings throughout the week.

Oh, and warm weather sure feels nice right now!

If you use AI to write your social media captions, we can tell. And it’s not a good look. Chances are that post gets little engagement too.

But that doesn’t mean AI is useless for social media managers. I talk about using AI EFFECTIVELY here:
