Probably a dancer in a past life 💃🏽but also not not a dancer in this one
On this day last year: I relented to a persistent teacher and held a field trip in the rain, and learned why we cancel field trips when it rains. Now if I’M this soaked, imagine how soaked the poor kids without a Goretex rain jacket were ☹️ it’s not just a comfort thing, it’s also an equity thing!

Today my coworker said to me, “I have something really silly for you,” and proceeded to pull out a tube that contained a micro puzzle. Best 30 minutes of my day so far was putting this together
Hand for scale

I love when Jasper sits next to me and puts a single paw on me 🥺
(I am also using his soft belly as a hand warmer in this pic)

The sky as I was leaving work today. It was monotonous gray most of the day, until this, right before sunset

The jazz dance class is so much fun. It’s all new to me, so it’s a brain stretch as well as a physical stretch. It was scary at first, but 3 weeks in and I’m getting the hang of it!
And it brings me SO much joy! Look at how happy I am at the end of this choreography we’ve been working on! 🥹

-got paid to go to one of my favorite parks to nature journal by myself for two hours as ~research~
-went to my jazz dance class for the 3rd week in a row!
-finished leftovers that were not my favorite,but we don’t waste food in this house

By my very scientific evaluation, I believe there are two main types of cats in this world: goobers 🤪 and gremlins 👹

My son Jasper, aka Dapper Japper aka Jasperella aka Mister Jay aka Jabberdeedoo, is, in fact, a goober

Yesterday I went on an elephant seal guided tour at Año Nuevo State Park. I decided to focus on sketching this time instead of trying to take pictures through my binoculars.
It was a fun challenge as they were really active ☺️

Went to the Dr. today to see about a weird itchy bump on my eyelid. She concluded it was a bug bite lol. So I basically paid $15 to pet her office golden retriever and receive suggestions for OTC face wash and itch cream that’s safe for eyelids. I have no regrets.
