Went to a book store.. 📚

When the glaze is paper thin and cracks like glass.. *chef’s kiss*

🍩 of the day - the “dinger”, an homage to the Ding Dong. 😋

Looks a little naughty 😅

Congratulations, that’s so cool!! What was the first time? :)

House finch perched on my balcony railing seen between blinds

A finch friend came by to hang out on my balcony today and left a gift 💩 on the railing before flying away 🥹

I’ve had this succulent in the same pot I got it in using the same soil for over a year and it’s still growing baby buds.. 🪴🥰

Wow!! I’ve been slacking on my donut game, and this might finally convince me to make a trip back to Seattle soon! I’m adding it to my list!

Here’s a blackberry fritter from JD Flannel Donuts in San Juan Capistrano 😋🍩💟

It used to be doomscrolling just on Facebook and Twitter.. now it’s also doomscrolling on LinkedIn.. 😩😫😵‍💫😵

a puddle of brown and white wrinkles that we presume was formerly a bulldog puppy sits on the sidewalk. she has wrinkles on her arms, on her face, above her nose, and even on her belly. her paws are enormous.

This is Frankie. Due to the devastating impacts of climate change and not having taken a nap for an entire two hours, she is melting. 13/10 (IG: frankiethepotato)

🍊 🍵 🥧

Awesome!! 😎 it’s reminding me of the Mass Effect galaxy map song “Uncharted Worlds” 🩵

Cool, love the colors! It looks like it can glow in the dark too :)

Clouds right before a thunderstorm started

Clouds during a thunderstorm

The clouds looked so cool during the thunderstorm today.. 🤩

Had a rough day of interviews that didn’t go great, but Mother Nature gifted us an exciting thunderstorm that I thoroughly enjoyed right after.. saw multiple lightning bolts streak across the sky and heard an incredibly loud crack of thunder after that. It’s been awhile since the last big ⛈️🤩

Oops my productivity only works late at night… 🙃🦉🌙

Finally watched Arcane, and good thing I have some resilience to even watch these characters go through so much. I’m not as tough as Vi, but I relate to her struggles so much, especially now. I relate to Jinx being dealt the difficult hand and never fitting in. I cried multiple times. 🙃💔

This quirky cute game is a breath of fresh air and helps add more humor during these trying times in the industry. I love how the pause menu is blended into the game world and not just a pop up screen. And you can’t go wrong with a cute dog companion that helps with everything and you can pet! ☺️🐶

Coffee shop sign that says “Coffee this way” with an arrow pointing to the shop and a sparrow wearing sunglasses on a skateboard holding a cup of coffee

I love the artwork at one of my favorite coffee shops 🐦 ☕️

To make up for the bad human interaction today, I got a nice late lunch - sweet and salty Vietnamese coffee and a pistachio chicken salad sandwich. ☕️🥪

Mug of coffee on a table in a cafe with the corner of the book I’m reading

Chose to go to a cafe to read a book the old fashioned way today ☕️📖

Double salmon sushi roll topped with fried onions

Had this magnificent double salmon (spicy salmon filling, topped with seared salmon and fried onions) sushi roll for lunch the other day 😋

😍
