I don’t see this time change as “losing an hour of sleep” so much as “I get to go to bed early”

She wants to chase berbs and have zoomies.

How do I keep a young dog from having zoomies 😭

She’s an adolescent eager to get her identity back. All she wants to do is play 😭

Spent four hours driving around exurban Virginia today with Evie for shots and tests. Holy data centers.

Also…anybody with experience supporting a dog through heartworm treatment? Welcome to my next several months…

My employer has declared that we have to take a mandatory 2.5-hour AI training or our access to AI tools will be restricted.

This goes against my eldest daughter/compliance ways but also sounds like a great way to not have to deal with it.

Evie’s Gotcha Day presents arrived and she is taking all of them down to the basement for the puppies

VO, Goodweather, and Jack Evans all are saying kids in DC's public and charter schools need more testing and assessments, even in PK.

Evans also says we wouldn't be in this current budget situation if he was still on Council.

Question for Kinney: with your resume, why do you want this job?

“I’m upset the new Sphere is going to Prince George’s County. It should be going to New York and Bladensburg.”

The captions covered the chyron just right that it looked like it said “Hegseth gives up” and I was happy for half a second

I think it helped that I could literally show them my house from the window in my recovery room. That it was late January didn't help and they made me swaddle him in layers until he was the size of a cured ham

I did walk (the one block) home after Owen was born, but the nursing staff insisted I could only walk once I was off hospital property. They pushed the wheelchair right up to the line in the sidewalk.

But I thought they also didn't really like the practice of walking on the escalators, so what does it matter?

So grateful for my incredibly supportive stand partner and fellow violists. It’s such an uplifting community.

Trying to do this while also having the puppies and some other life shifts all at once was way more than anyone should be able to handle. Hoping I can build regular home practice into my routine in the next season or two, to get even more out of it.
