Working from home today. Misplaced both my phones and after 20 mins turning the house upside down to find them, I had to ask my colleagues to call both phones to help me locate them. Just getting over another bout of Covfefe so I blame my brain ☠️

Happy Wednesday!

If I were designing a new app like Bluesky, I would find a name that can easily function as a verb 🧐

I bluesky?
You bluesky?
She/he/it/they bluesky?

Quote this post with a really foolish injury:

Skipping down our hallway, I jumped too high and too fast. My face was headed for the door frame so I leant back, my face skimmed the head jamb. Didn't have time to bring my legs forward so landed on my knees on a carpeted but concrete floor 😫☠️🔥
Quote post this with a really foolish injury:

Cut open my chin when I face-planted into curb because I ran in the rain from my car to the footpath and slipped.
