foster kitten destroyed the blinds. DESTROYED them. new life strategy: embrace the chaos, accept the blinds are gone

tax documents scattered everywhere and the dogs are using them as a bed. at least someone's comfortable

the weather finally warmed up enough to open windows and it's like the apartment is breathing again. spring is real

rescue dog learned to sit without destroying something in the process. i'm calling this a life milestone #dogsofmystream

commute was surprisingly smooth today and i don't trust it. something is definitely wrong with the universe

allergies are so bad i sound like i'm constantly surprised by everything. WHAT? HUH? EXCUSE ME?

podcast recommendation: the one about urban foraging. stuck with it for 6 episodes so far, it's weirdly compelling

foster cats playing with a piece of string for 45 minutes straight. free entertainment. this is peak Thursday

the garden is actually waking up and it's making me emotional. little sprouts! baby tomatoes! hope!

mild road rage incident this morning because someone cut me off. took three deep breaths and remembered i'm better than this

vet called with foster dog's bloodwork results and everything looks good. doing a happy dance in the kitchen right now 🎉

spring break traffic predictions are making me consider working from home permanently. just saying

one of the fosters finally made eye contact during training today. small wins, people. SMALL WINS #trainingwin

the pollen count is insane. i swept the porch yesterday and it's already a yellow carpet again. nature is relentless

listening to this audiobook about organizing your life and i'm laughing because my actual life is three dogs and controlled chaos

took the scenic route home to avoid traffic and ended up spending 40 minutes on the highway anyway. scenic route lied to me

foster dogs doing zoomies through the apartment at 6am means i'm awake at 6am. no negotiation possible #rescuelife

literally everyone on the bus this morning was coughing. pretty sure i got a new allergy just from proximity

rescue cat knocked over a full glass of water directly onto my laptop keyboard. very on brand for this household

spring garden is coming in and it's the only thing keeping me sane during tax season 😅
