Cool! Geese are all lined up along the lake’s beach shore.

Great vibes and energy at the local #NoKings day event today. Gathering was huge (1000s), respectful, uplifting and authentic.

Always surprised when I see an orphaned cart a couple miles or more from its nearest home, but then saddened when thinking about the probable reasons why.

Love my #Corgi -a-day calendar at work, but I’m convinced there’s some Tri bias going on! 🤣 Though NO CLUE which way. 🤔🙃

Weekdays are usually Reds, Fawns and/or Sables. With Tris on weekends.

They’re all beautiful, but want to see that pattern mixed up a bit. 🥰

My #Corgi gave me the stink eye last night when I wanted to use the couch last night.

After spending 8 or 9 figures — per person — to attract top tier talent, they need a controlled/gamed AI leaderboard to show their executive board that the talent spend was worth it.

My #Corgi ‘s choice of sleeping location is like a basic weather app…

30’s or less - couch on top of blanket
40-65 - on the coach, no blanket
65-80 - kitchen floor
80’s or higher - bathroom floor
Thundering - kennel (no door)
Windy - back door
Tornado sirens - my feet

What do I mean by simple lifestyle choices? Stuff everyone has been telling me to do for years:

* walk more
* more water
* less fast food
* no late night snacks
* repeat daily
* that’s it

Heard the early results are the easiest. So far no wall; still trending down 💪 despite there’s 5% less of me.🙃

Two calf pulls derailed my #pickleball summer. Was finally motivated to make simple lifestyle choices to lessen weight stress on joints & muscles.

Both excited and embarrassed — they’re working. Haven’t even needed to experiment with GLP-1 drugs or food subscriptions. At least yet.

Yup they’re all gourds, but seems weird to see watermelons and pumpkins hanging out together.

In other news, you can now freeze-dry them for use 25 years later.

Still true. If but for a moment, I feel like even #Mensa is beneath me. 🙃

We’re consolidating offices and sadly the ping pong table hasn’t [yet?] made the cut. Piece-by-piece, I have slowly and stealthily brought the equipment from the old site to the new one and added to my director’s office as a silent but obvious protest.

Follow-up a week later. Quite a mess.

Lol. But sadly, deportation destination no longer always matches origin. At times, maliciously so.

My #Roomba got trapped in bathroom, shutting the door on itself. Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump.

Our #Corgis loudly announced they were unimpressed.

Don’t think I’ll ever understand medical scheduling.

I can be the first appointment of the day, arrive early and still have to wait as they’re already 30 minutes behind. 🤷‍♂️

Other times it’s midday, arrive 25 minutes late (due to insane traffic) and can go right on in. 🤷‍♂️

We have a magic bus-waiting bench
in our nearby public park. Every time we pass it, there’s a different number of unattended leaf bags.

Between 0 and 4 bags for the last couple weeks. Always Home Depot bags (which the public park system doesn’t use), tightly bagged.

Where are the Libertarians on this? A prescription requirement is just a mandate on the other side of the fence.
