When I cleaned out my dad’s car, I discovered he had amassed a collection of paper state maps from his travels after my mom died. I kept them and have made it a habit to stop and grab more to add to the collection. I collected 8 this summer! 🗺️

You are brave to get them at the same time! I got COVID and flu shots 48 hours apart a few years back and never again. I was miserable.

I do think my parents found it curious that teenage me, who was not raised going to church at all, was suddenly listening to an artist who was mostly known for her Christian music 🤣🤣🤣

It’s not a Jesus-y show if that’s what K is thinking 😂 She talks about love and compassion and caring for each other but not in a preachy way. And she’s got a whole contingent of gay fans ❤️

the only reason why I can say I've never locked myself out of my office in almost 15 years is because all the offices in our suite use the same key. And for good measure, there's an extra at the circ desk. 😂

I’m in the cohort of late 70s kiddos who only got one MMR dose initially. 99% sure I got another dose right before I started college, but earlier this year my dr okayed me getting an additional booster. Glad I did after seeing %s for some of the places I traveled to this summer 😵💫
