For example:

Electricity is back. Got everything repaired right under the wire for reconnection today. House is still warming back up, but snotty toddler will have a hot bath tonight. Solidly one of the worst days of my life, but we lived.

I'm so sorry. I unfortunately do not have dog photos that don't include my toddler's face, but here's a kudu family.

The last of my birthday celebration dinners is in the books. It's been nearly a month of various me-centered events. Only appropriate for my 30th.

I've finished a ton of perfume samples this year. If I stay on this trajectory, I will have gone from ~100 in my collection to 2. Now I need to buy a few full size bottles.

Belated bday dinner last night. Not pictured: raw oysters, creme brulee

Food was excellent. The view was better. I hate when a $$$$ place lives up to the hype.

Refreshed the CD rotation for our trip to the toy store with the birthday baby.

Super late to the party, but this book was so good. I cried. Super poignant read for someone with a career in the sciences in 2025 USA.

Everyone gather round and pray that I can get this very important meeting scheduled.

Birthday dinner 1 of 3

Pretty accurate for better or worse #BB27

Busy morning outside of the house. Found a place to get my partner some vegetarian biscuits and gravy. I had a crawfish omelet. Not the prettiest food in the world, but pretty good.

We went from the restaurant to our local bookstore. I dropped an irresponsible amount of money on books.

🎉🎉🎉

I told her about the tarriffs

Finished up some mittens just in time to no longer need them.

My partner is weirdly proud of this photo of tonight's dinner. So here it is.

Nicole Kidman, here I come. AMC, I missed you.
