Scariest thing I will do today - posting our property tax bill. #halloween2019

Took Elizabeth’s phone away for 2 days. The side eye won’t quit.

me and Nic are celebrating. TGIF all!

New Years Eve rave-up for me!

My dad would be proud. I installed this by myself, only got shocked once (grounding wire was loose) #usbinthekitchen

Every morning, coffee in the dark, accompanied by 15 year old George the dog #gottagetup #olddog #don’twakethekids

Renewing passports today. We provided E’s certificates of birth, abandonment, name change, adoption, & citizenship, along with her recently expired passport. I’ve got to get her something simpler. This 5 document thread of proof is unmanageable.

On one hand - they're just movies. OTOH - they reflect who and what we are as a society. So Academy: where are the women directors? The people of color? Do NOT tell me they're not out there. You're not looking hard enough #Oscars2020 #JLoWasRobbed

Look who I ran into Saturday morning at #womenincloud kate isler and @serenaglover! Check out their work at #BeBoldForChange beboldforchange and @friendsofsammamishvalley

Joe and I shared office space today! He’s doing online math while I participate in the Microsoft Alumni Network’s Virtual Job Fair, and dialed in to remote meetings. #MSFTAlum #WFMWK

Bedtime convo with Joe. Joe: “What would you get if you had to spend $1m in 1 day?” @andyjoe1024: “A tricked out RV so I could pick up John Moe, Patrick and @jimlapan, & we drive around to watch baseball games.” Joe: “Dada you should get a plane for that. And Diamond Club seats.”

In the last week the garden gate broke, 3 electrical outlets stopped working and the grass died. Is our house telling us to get out?

The day before back to school is like the calm in the middle of a hurricane. And Joe's ready to go.

This makes me so happy and why #iflyalaska youtu.be/b9w_paUjzKs

Things that happened today: day 1 of my book launch, week 3 of Joe doing school-like work, year 4 of Elizabeth (age 14) saying “Mom no ugh stop.” #backtobusiness #returntowork #wfhwk

Friday afternoon at walk-in pharmacy for Elizabeth’s COVID booster. There are over 20 teens here, standing around ignoring each other. Her insight: “Let’s get it over with.”
