Look how handsome Rip is 😍
A most regal Australian Shepherd. He has one blue eye and one brown eye and looks very calm and poised, even though he’s really a dufus

Note to self: DO NOT PET PUPPY 😩

Update: I spoke too soon and since I’m dressed like Christmas I had a few candy canes 🍬 🎅🏼

I can now hear yelling down the block “THATS THE CANDY CANE HOUSE”

Ronald, your hair is all nice. Your clothes are all pretty. You look like a nice guy, but guess what? You are a bum

Yesterday morning I gave away my witch spider hat to the barista who fell in love with it

I got to work an hour later, and *surprise* this giant 1950s era skull (used to teach anatomy) was waiting for me

Chad now has a head

Showed up early for belly dance class. The class prior was Acro Yoga. He asked “want to try?”

(Duh) 😬

I’m going back Sat for an actual class. 10/10 highly recommend 🔥

Today’s 55 days of 55 is worth highlighting 🤩

Took myself on a thrift break and found a Cuyama 👜

It’s monogrammed DJB so I am now Dolores J Blige or maybe Dolores Josephine Baker

I had a bunch of old post cards from orientation (circa Y2K) that I put in a bin outside my office - along with a note offering to mail if they slide them under my door.

Today’s under-the-door love ❤️
