My friends knew I’d be recovering from surgery on my sixth year sobriety birthday—so they made me pack this gift to open in the hospital to celebrate. Not a drop of alcohol in 2191.5 days!

When my kid was in 4th grade (years ago) she became obsessed with Vanilla Ice, and wanted him to run our country. She spent hours working on his campaign, and today I found some of her supplies. I think this is a reasonable solution.

This might not look like much, but it’s my succulent hospital. Whenever I find a broken piece anywhere I put it in my pocket and plant it here when I get home. Some of my favorite succulents were found on the street! Sadly, some don’t make it, but most do!

My grandparents on Christmas Day (2000). I got him that rock for his Christmas gift. He found it in the 60’s but had to leave it on a military base bc it was too heavy to bring home. Grampy was a serious rock collector!

Vegan Keto Dessert. It didn’t occur to me that there could be vegan keto. I volunteered to bring dessert—then was informed these people exist & one would be present. I found VK products! Dark & white chocolate, 2 types of cookie dough chunks &(not pictured) canned whipped cream. It turned out great!

A person I know unironically posted this online today. There’s a lot to unpack here. Pretty sure a CNN headline would have the correct spelling of “responsibility.” Probably also “Capitol.”
