For the first time in a long time, it took me ALL FRIGGIN DAY to catch up on the news. Usually I stop around noon. But so much is going on right now, I can’t keep track of everything. I had a little left over for my husband’s lunch and zero interest in cooking. So, breakfast for dinner!

This image captures a red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) perched on a tree trunk. The bird features its signature vibrant red marking on the back of its head, extending down its nape, and a soft reddish hue on its belly, which gives it its name. Its wings and back are adorned with striking black-and-white barred patterns, adding to its visual appeal. The woodpecker is positioned in a side profile, showcasing its sharp, chisel-like beak and delicate feather details. The muted, blurred background enhances the focus on the bird and the textured tree bark, highlighting its natural beauty.

Leafs have to win the division

Marchand - Bennett - Tkachuk in the first round will take years off my lifespan

A cartoon of a woman looking at her computer monitor. The title of the cartoon is "Peak Operational Efficiency." Quote bubbles coming out of the monitor suggest numerous emails with contradictory information and instructions. "You're fired!" "NO - WAIT! Never mind!" "Back to work!" "Send your manager FIVE accomplishments or you're fired!" "No don't!" "Send five or you're fired!"
