Would love to have a word with whomever is writing this script
The universe really said, it’s time to let go of attachments 💀 12 days with no belongings of our own 😂😂 Thank you American Airlines 😂 Honestly, it’s fine. I’m fine. We’re fine. Somehow this is the least anxiety I’ve felt in two years.
what we said was going to happen is happening right now
someone said they couldn’t unsee Ms. Now in the MSNCB rebrand so naturally I made this
hosted a little game night and realized I unintentionally had coworkers present from FIVE different jobs I’ve only worked at 7 places lol they’ve shown up for me in more ways I could imagine. grateful to have crossed paths with such amazing people. the work was temporary, connections are forever.
accidentally fried my work laptop while IT was setting me up with a new one, they said, one time, someone showed up and didn’t know where their laptop was ?? when further questioned, they casually said they put it on the roof of their car while loading up and it flew off somewhere along the way 😂😂

did some rough math and realized I’ve spent well over 10,000 hours driving my Prius since 2014 does that make me a subject matter expert on driving Prii

mentioned to my dentist that I’ve seen him for almost a decade now “this practice has only been open 6 years though?” and then he learned 2016 was actually 9+ years ago the pandemic years really did a number on our perception of time
parents waiting with their teens for the bus in suburbia gives me flashbacks discovering the metro bus at 12 with my friends, no way for our parents to track us - bopping around Capitol Hill, U district, Northgate, until learning transfer tickets expire & getting stranded with no money or phones 💀
Shoutout to the child with the bubble gun for the clutch timing 🫧 and to my phone stretching the last 1% of it’s battery for one last picture Final evening of the #WashingtonState Fair, 2025 #PuyallupFair #Celebrating #125years

I just want to go float on an inflatable pizza slice for like 3 hours
when your inner child wants to run around your camera on the beach at 1am, you say yes selfie with the #MilkyWay 🥰 #Oregon #Photography
after a lifetime of living in the area, I witnessed my first whale breaching in the PNW, in the middle of Elliott Bay from the ferry to Bainbridge 🥹 photo from very far away with a 400mm lens @ferries.wsdot.wa.gov
