I asked my husband if he could grab my water bottle from my car.

He said, "Anything for the mother of my children."

We have no kids, but we do have two dogs.

I’m dim sum with good people rich.

I wish for everyone to have a group chat where you feel comfortable and invited to share mundane but charming observations from your life.

I spent time today talking to local reps who sell equipment and supplies to my NIH-funded lab. They need to know how the NIH works and what the new changes mean for my ability to PAY THEM. Remember, scientists salaries are only small part of the economic impact of science. 1/3

The internet was right. Remarkably Bright Creatures was such a treat of a novel 🐙. Highly recommend for people wanting a gentle and charming read.

We celebrated Valentine's Day with takeout from Jade's Palace and a Love is Blind binge. It was perfect.

A friend wanted to pick my brain about starting a photography business so we met at Joe Van Gogh. I now have two hours to kill before next meeting so hanging back to try to work through my library books before they’re due 😅. Four holds came in at once!

Me: Here's a conveyor belt sushi restaurant in High Point, NC that is modeled after Shinjuku Station

Tiktok comment: "Your car will be broken into in High Point!"
Tiktok comment: "FYP is so local. I'm six hours away!!"

This is Duvalín. She is proud of her Mexican heritage and immigrant roots. And like the rest of her community, our country is better because she is in it. 13/10

I will always try to influence people into journaling.

Came home to PR mail from @benandjerrys.bsky.social 🥺

Happy birthday!!

As a non-scientist, I still appreciate your reminder to not despair, carry on, write, and read.

Hope yer all recovered now!

Grateful for another chance at new year vibes and freshness bc of Lunar New Year on Wednesday ❤️🧧🐍

next time shoot from the other side! window to your back.

I added Strands to my daily puzzle games and I love it. Prioritizing comfort activities the next four years.

Editing my first engagement session of the year and it's a much needed reprieve from all the doom and gloom of January. I love love and I love my job.

Date night at Naōs, newest addition to Giorgios Group roster! Located where ko•an used to be in Cary, North Carolina. They really transformed the space and I’d order everything we tried again. Especially that manouri cheesecake.

I am definitely an indoor cat during the winter but I love having snow days because the natural light is even brighter with all that reflective snow!

Snow outside, a full crock pot of bolognese sauce slow cooking in the kitchen, a heated blanket, and my library book are making me happy today.
