Plus leavers vs total would be more helpful and comparing that churn rate to say 2017 would be even more helpful. There’s a lot of levers impacting business so he just wants to claim it’s about “safety” rather than incomes, rent, ease of customers getting reliable, convenient transit or parking.

Maritza isn’t yet familiar on how Seattle collects lots of money, spends lots of money and takes 3 times as much time to complete a project, if it gets completed at all? I thought she was only new to the council, not to Seattle. It’s called the Seattle Process for a reason.

This is so dumb. The CBO does routine briefings with the council and mayor and of course it’s a Bond & a levy. There’s like 4-6 colors of money on every dang public project. Kettle is obviously still failing up. That’s definitely him biffing every learning curve.

I’m super happy there’s an Asian lead and the little sister’s love story is cute (John & Francesca). Otherwise, I don’t much care for Season 4. Shonda crammed a 10 episode story into 8 episodes IMHO. But, maybe you’ll like it. Cute and entertaining moments but a fleeting collection of story lines.

I heard something great on public radio yesterday about generative AI, humanity and art + crap 🤖 music. Something like “let’s not make creating art the domain and time saving of generative AI, let us keep the beauty and true value of being human.” My thought was this, we must fight exactly for this.

What’s your base temp? Using wire racks in a sheet pan or the round ones in skillets is such a game changer.

Sending 🥰.

I was thinking weaning off the albuterol I was taking because of that long succession of poor air quality days is partly what has slowed me down while increasing my red zone time and probably hit my running form. Now I think it more.

Yes, whenever I get sad that more running means few long runs I scenario play about the feeling of taking “break” days and I see that I’m happy with my choices and that FOMO is a mental game.

hah! definitely two different mornings. Glad you found something more typical for Tuesday morning.

An inappropriate bafta joke just spun in my brain 😊. (The one about semi-invisible disabilities, lest ppl misunderstand.)

I mean, based on the user handle isn’t it a perfect joke from the account? This is where I would post the joke whizzing around one’s head meme, but feels too rude.

Excellent Anon Opin. Lots of ppl missed the joke and went straight to bait vs typo argument.

We’re in California at the moment.
The hubby said he would be sad if I left to spend a few months back in London. If I do come, I’ll ask you about running.
Thank you 🙏, the running keeps me sane here.

Turns out i’m poor at tracking who owns what now. I thought nestle had bought Hershey. Basically, I now eat fringe brands for treats, like Justin’s organic peanut butter chocolate cups. I almost ordered Joque Torres chocolates the other day, pining away for pierre marcolini

I just permanently broke up with nestle upon tasting their final blow to kit kat. I don’t eat much candy but had a long car trip in October. Anyway, living in the UK taught me that even our sweets are second rate in the states.

Hammond’s Bridgerton vlog on Netflix suggests we all rewatch Seasons 1-4 and trying to get us to care about who the copycat Whistledown is so it feels like Shondaland did some audience testing b4 release on Netflix and they know Season 4 flopped it a bit. Rewatch YOU, it’s such good ✍️ & acting.

Bridgerton Season 4 - I 👀 through the credits as I was mystified with the choppy & incomplete season. There is a wedding. It still felt incomplete so i watched the vlog show with Alison Hammond. Shonda basically thot the season felt complete without the wedding. Beg to differ that it felt complete

Sometimes my brain autocompletes the next phrase and I have to reread. I read “swearing a lot” after “night running” 🤭. Looks like a beautiful run.

My type then bizarrely want “respectful” differences of opinion to apply to matters of human rights, as if it’s less important than talking about their chocolate opinions.

Sorry, I know I’m a stranger but was the nestle shouter American? I find my type (U.S.) aren’t trained in the manners of sharing disparate opinions. We were raised that differences are threats, this was especially weaponized in childhood with religious factions.

All content isn’t gonna make ppl happy and folks addicted to social media will curate separate accounts for their diverse interests so they don’t put off people. But for us normal content users it’s not worth worrying about. Plus those “follow back” accounts that drop ppl after bldg numbers 🤨

During our October move I basically skipped/jogged around the hotel parking lot for 30 mins while we walked the 🐶 just to get 30 active minutes. Kudos for sneaking in whatever you can on conference / training / travel days. 👏

Most of my cookies are emotional support cookies 🥰. Hope you feel properly decompressed now.

My hubby is encouraging me to get my pedicure while I have no sores on my feet 🤭

I’m excited to see “Drump” supporters get hit by price escalations in another way while the dirty republicans feed the war machines. Let those who voted for Trump get another slap in the face to remember what voting Republican POTUS gets us. Since they apparently only care about themselves.

last nights close up of perfect roast chicken and the vegetables underneath bathed in drippings.

last nights dinner. Plated roast chicken with crispy chicken with roasted parsnips and baby carrots in a large orange pasta bowl and a glass of Elu red wine from St. Supéry brought home from our Saturday vineyard trip.

It’s totally about the work! 🥰
