Checking in one last time. It's been a long time, and a great time and I made a lot of friends here, found a new career here, shared love and losses here, and learned so much about compassion and friendship. You know how to find me so I won't say goodbye; that's an exit line I try not to use. With love and light, be well.

Big bag of yukon golds, milk approaching sell-by date, all kinds of cheese + me being hungry = homemade potato tacos for brunch.

My dad listened to a lot of jazz in the 60's, my mom listened to a lot of Motown, folk, classical, and soul. I grew up on 80's golden age hip hop and 90's gangsta rap, but I'll be damned if one of my favorite albums of all time isn't Paul Simon's debut solo album. #SaturdayFF

I asked a boy out and he said yes.

LOL.

Woken up by a cat.

My #RSD14 haul.

oh hey, holly. grabbed something for you.

I spent the evening with two lovely cats on my lap, (and watching Frozen!) but when I wanted another brownie, or needed to top off my sangria, I pushed them to the floor. #sorrynotsorry #SaturdayFF

dadandahalf called me late last night, after I'd gone to bed, but the sentiment and sweetness in his voice was maybe the best gift ever.

I was mad as hell because as I rounded the corner, the bus was pulling away from the curb (and I'll be damned if I run for a bus). But by the time the next one came, I'd forgotten about it and now I'm in a good mood. Pleasantries!

41.

Of course the net on campus dies right when I begin showing a class how to use the databases. Of course.

Roast chicken and a big green salad for dinner, because roast chicken on a Sunday is always perfect, and a big green salad because it's 82F and the idea of something really starchy gives me the vapors. Mini portion of ice cream for dessert? Hrm.

I started sorting laundry but then a house centipede (millipede?) ran across my pile of whites and now I'm cringing on top of the bed like a bitch.

I hope this turns out well...

Farmer’s Mkt haul: bananas, papaya, yogurt, tortillas, cheese, apples, broccolini, bread, ice cream, some dude’s number. #hiyoooo

Carbs all up and down my feed.

Turnt up.

Fasting blood sugar situation for my doctor's appointment this morning, but I should be done around 11am AND will be at Farragut. Any recommendations for food trucks, my friend?

Oh.

Sometimes I think about changing my avatar because this current one's pretty old, but that sideeye I'm giving? C'mon, now.

The bulk of my colleagues are at #CILDC today, it's raining, and my one commitment for the day just canceled. I totes magotes could've worked from home today.

Lord have mercy, I've become a pretty regular lurker, sometimes user on Reddit. I blame Rod.

Chips + salsa for dinner. #grown

Welp.

The provost of the university is having the big faculty recognition dinner and I need to RSVP. Part of me is curious and wants to go; part of me is intimidated? It's fancy, at the National Press Club, high class invites and while I've worked hard to get here, part of me is like...do I *belong* here? Trying to make sense of it all, I guess.

*casually throws shade at the poor grammar and writing ability of the candidates' letter writing recommenders*

Snow? Okay. Okay, winter. #shade
