What I’m thankful for, week 25 of 52
1. Chibi getting gifts from our favorite rabbit food supplier. This is really going above and beyond and having a whole pack of gifts from them. It really makes my day when I open an order. Gestures count. 2. Having a laugh out loud day with teammates over silly things. It takes a lot for us to laugh with *gestures at everything* going on. We have had laugh out loud moments where people were tearing up from laughing, and that’s a blessing. 3. Chester being extra clingy. Old man he is, has been asking for extra attention in the form of head rubs. I actually woke up in the middle…

What I’m grateful for, week 24 of 52
I feel like this week has been filled with things I’m extra grateful for, that I’m a little nervous of what the blowback is for this week. I also will remember to take this week to week to week. Song of the week: Lost Cause by Billie Eilish 1. A long weekend. I had a ton of grownup errands I had to run this week that can’t wait and I was able to accomplish all the things on my list without dying at my first day of work. 2. A batch of my favorite Filipino food, kare kare. It is such a pain to make and takes so long so…

What I‘m grateful for, week 23 of 52
1. Negronis and pizza. Gino’s brick oven pizza specifically for my favorite margherita and also mushroom pizza. It was too late in my workday for coke, so made negronis instead. 2. Loved ones that make an effort. I am embarking on a logistically difficult project and I literally won’t be able to pull it off without other people’s help. 3. Pulling off a class. It’s been a while since I did this hands on. It’s wasn’t the smoothest, and there’s a ton of improvement to be done, but in the end, we pulled it off as a team. 4. The team itself. I say this a lot and it seems…

What I’m grateful for, week 22 of 52
1. Small wins. Like this Thursday’s end of day dinner of tacos and ice cream. I did not deserve it because I have not earned it workout wise, but boy did it feel great after a long day. 2. Good people. We had five new folks start with our team this week, and it was fantastic to confirm that they were good folks and really fit the team, culture and brains wise. 3. The Roadrunner trailer coming out. With his third death anniversary being today, him being everywhere just feels like a healthy way to celebrate his life. I can’t wait for it, and will also need a ton of…

I’m gonna need a minute.
The Anthony Bourdain Documentary Roadrunner just came out with its first trailer, and needless to say, I am a fucking mess. Yes. I am a mess. I have watched that trailer 5 times, and have cried every.single.time. If you’ve met me in the past 15 years and have had more than 4 conversations outside of work, you’d prolly know how much I fangirl over the man. I’ve written about him here and there, and I always ask people what they think/thought of him. It really resonates with me that he was flawed. He was incredibly honest about his past addictions. Medium Raw had a full chapter of a really bad…
