A long delayed errand turned into a nice afternoon on my bike in Chicago.

So is he gonna adopt Baby Jane Doe or what

Exactly one year ago today:

"don't do too much" oooooohkay

IG is acting kinda weird too.

Yep.

Is it just me or are several social media platforms really glitchy today?

For years I felt bad about being fearful about dating and relationships. Turns out it was a very rational response. www.cnn.com/interactive/...

I couldn’t post this last night for some reason but that lightning was crazy.

In what world is having a baby as a teenager NOT a burden??

[cups ear] Hear that? That’s the sound of thousands of nail techs across Chicago preparing for feet that haven’t seen the sun in seven months.

As someone who enjoys the Marvel TV shows and movies, I’m disgusted.

Spring be springing.

Had to stop for a shake at Small Cheval after a lovely ride along the lakefront. I actually really wanted a chocolate ice cream soda at Margie’s on Montrose but I really don’t like the outdoor “ambience” there and there’s no park nearby.

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

This is NUTS

Well apparently I need to move somewhere with high humidity year round so my hair looks good. I was ready to chop it off all weekend and today? Gorgeous.

Green and red is not my favorite combo, but this works because the pants serve as a buffer. Nice warm day to meet up with friends for beers on a patio—but super windy!

I just love it when marketing seeps into everything.

YUP

We almost went to the Whistler. Ok good to know.

What bars are the middle-aged people going to is my question

I can’t remember the last time I heard “In a Big Country” in a bar

It’s weird to go to bars in Logan Square and feel about 20 years older than everyone while at every spot the soundtrack is all 80s and 90s nostalgia tracks
