We just moved to northern Arizona last week! It’s all been very exhausting and insane, and I am daily:

Monterey Bay Aquarium is one of my favorite Twitters, at least partially because I love how they obviously let their social media team do whatever they want

Dear Landlord,

My husband has a third interview (first in-person) next week in another state. The potential employer is going to reimburse him for his flight, rental car, and lodging.

Honestly, that just seems so dumb to me. Don’t call candidates who are currently employed and wrote: “please keep this discrete” in their cover letter in the middle of the workday! That’s what emails are for.

Yesterday for Christmas my new sister-in-law gave my mother one of those make-it-yourself type calendars that you can order online, with your own photos. My mom is a sucker for sentimentality, so the minute she opened it and started flipping through it to look at all the family photos, I turned and said “Now she’s…

I stayed in an AirBnB for my brother’s wedding last weekend, it was mediocre. I stayed in an AirBnB for a week in Seattle a few months back, that experience was AWFUL. I have booked and will be staying in an AirBnB in the California desert in about a month.

My Congressional Representative Salud Carbajal — a US war veteran born in Mexico! Pissing Trump off right there on the hill! — has joined forces with Tammy Duckworth to spread the news about some of the most recent egregious changes to the AHCA.

What the fuck is with people? Story and venting below the jump.

I live in California where recreational weed is now legal. Even if it weren’t, I could have a medical card this time tomorrow, if not faster. (I don’t have one yet because I haven’t needed one.) Right now I am using weed — usually vaped or more preferably, drops — to help mitigate some serious hip pain that was…

We’ve had two little earthquakes (3.9 and 3.0), and five aftershocks in between, in the last eight hours... the first one was in the middle of the night and basically right by our house—woke me up good! The second one was smaller, and around 10am.
