My corgi Professor Lupin hanging out getting some much needed brushing and behind the ear scratches

Just curious as I don’t believe in living in an echo chamber are there #conservatives #RINO s or #moderates on this platform? I am not political but at the same time I’m seeing a lot of blue politics content (I follow only nature and science stuff) but none the less seeing a lot of one type stuff

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant when I have this baby in June my hope is after I recover is to try again to make the national park loop I had planned back 2 years ago. Last time we got hit with a tornado at mammoth cave and the kids of course were like that’s enough. I’m privileged to work remote…

So of course total silence by the CDC but in going to my doctors office this morning which is with the hospital system apparently masks are back to being recommended. All staff are required patients are not I asked the front desk is there an uptick in respiratory things and of course the answer: yes

I swear teens is like an upgraded version of a toddler. They need a nap they won’t take, they smell funky sometimes, argue, and just when you are at your limit say “I love you” and you’re like awwwwwww it’s all good

Dreaming of warmer weather and camping and the outdoors ⛺️ 🌲 🌲 🏔️

New book arrived. In all my years of training and interest this one I hadn’t read (I have the Tao) but picked this book up. #JKD #MMA #MartialArts

In 2am confirmation my cat is a psychopath wakes up the whole house ping ponging off a wall and super loud thunk noise as she didn’t make whatever insane jump she was trying. I’m up trying to check on her to make sure she’s okay she hisses runs off and 20 min later plops on my lap like a pur machine

This is at Salt Lake City, they have a life size dinosaur exhibit outdoors which was wicked cool and the salt lake was pretty neat too.

This was in North Carolina on another geology dig. I’m looking to do this again this year when the weather is warmer.

Geology dig pics (warmer weather, missing that now) with kids in Paris Maine where aquamarine, blue, green and raspberry tourmaline can be found. Looking forward to when weather is warm again. Last time my kid found a tangerine sized aquamarine.

Last trip to Theodore Rosevelt National Park-Painted Canyon. This place has some nice medium difficulty and some easy trails for kids. This was a while ago but beautiful place, don’t pet the artillery fluffy cows as cute as they look. We did see some questionable tourist animal interactions

She was just fed and is really only near me as she wants more 🤣 cats 🐈‍⬛ lol

New book I bought because cats 🐈‍⬛ lol

Next big travel adventure camp these two parks. I’ve been to most of our national parks. Yellowstone requires super far in advance planning I’m thinking it would be a great early fall trip. Yes I know snow is a factor ❤️

Memories from hiking at the Great Smoky Mountains. Feeling nostalgic would love to visit them again.

I’m at the point where I don’t want to see anymore political posts, none of it. It’s all divisive and mentally exhausting. Send me cat pics, corgi pics, national parks, trails and sunshine. The world needs more of that

It’s a miracle my youngest let me sleep and I woke up naturally and he’s making paper airplanes. My youngest 9 typically will still crawl into many bed in the morning and find ways to creatively wake me up ie smooshing my face

So kiddo in the morning I don’t feel good, feel forehead, yeah you feel hot, kid grabs my drinking glass and proceeds to drink my water off the stand…. Yeah this is how I get sick with my kids. I am sure he’s done this before, when I haven’t been looking.
