Good evening from Bar Prep Hell where my purrlegals are throughly examining the backs of their eyelids and the bottoms of their feet.

Somehow a 25lb beagle can take up the entire bed. This was my view at 3:30AM. I guess she was cold but wanted her feet out? Oh, Blair. I wish I was you.

Two small paws and part of a peanut-butter-freckle arm poke out from under a nice set of sheets and a quilt. This is a beagle and she does not care how nice your bedding is. She wants to make herself a beagle-burrito with it. Breathing is not important to her. Only stinking up your clean bed.

Good morning, I’m Libby. If I fits, I sits. Even if my corpulent floof overfloweth. Mommy said I’m not fat, I’m a Rubens. Purrfection in every way.

I like how this animal thinks he’s a wild jungle cat sleeping in a tree. In reality he’s a rotten gremlin who likes to scratch my furniture and instead of being deterred by the sticky tape, he licks it, apparently (?) to fuel his two brain cells.

I’ve proudly worked at FDA for 16 years and let me tell you yesterday felt like a massacre. We lost all our comms, budget, project management, IT, and HR people. We also lost a lot of policy folks. It’s like they left the car but didn’t leave any gas for it.

Just absolutely love the vibe with Teams calls now that people are crammed cheek by jowel in the office. Can’t hear because of so much background noise from other people trying to work. Poor quality because office internet can’t keep up. Much efficient. So office. Very collaborate. 😑

Friends, when I, a Ph.D. in this field, post "I study this and I am still baffled," it is not an invitation for you, a person who has thought about this problem for seven and a half seconds, to guess the first thing that pops into your head as if it is useful insight.

I made two king cakes this weekend and gave one to my neighbor who wasn’t familiar with the tradition. Her husband found the baby and held it over the rest of the household all weekend. 😂 Laissez les bons temps rouler, yall. 💛💚💜

Chicken Guts Guy woke me up with chorizo and egg tacos and coffee in bed. Then he let his ex’s beagle (we are beagle-sitting) in to snuggle with me in bed. She’s snoring and my tummy is full. Perfect Sunday morning. 15/10 recommend.

Judges are servants, not kings. Article III independence is a wonderful thing, but this is one of its dark sides, and we should be honest about it and standing up for those subjected to bullies and abusers.

My wild birds are looking in the kitchen window from the maple tree and asking me not so patiently to fill the damn feeder already because it’s been empty for less than 24 hours. Keep in mind these brats still have half a suet block to munch on. Sure sign of a cold front coming through!

True ❤️ is a call at from bae at work saying “you’re a lawyer, help me read this [goods and services] contract because they told me they would service these machines and they haven’t been here in four months and they sent us a bill.” FYI my answer was ask them why they haven’t been there. 😂

If there’s a woman in your house and her stocking isn’t full, get your ass in gear. Lip balm, hand lotion, hair ties, candles, travel sizes of stuff she already uses, chocolates, moisturizing face/eye masks, fuzzy socks, little bottles of alcohol - hit the sample size section in Target!!

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes. So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

Things you can do right now: 🎄Clean w/o being asked. To her standard. 🎄Make sure her stocking is full of things she didn’t ask for, but you THOUGHTFULLY selected for her. 🎄Wrap presents. Nicely. 🎄Purchase and affix stamps to the cards she already created and addressed and put them in the mail.

If at any point if your life you got a Christmas card, had a holiday party at work, received a nicely wrapped and decorated gift, or had a nice photo taken of you, thank a woman. We carry the overwhelming bulk of the holiday cheer for the men and children in our lives. We are tired.

If you need something wholesome and haven’t seen Call the Midwife, you should watch. Well-sugared tea and a biscuit will sort almost anything. People truly care about each other. Interesting perspective on religion, thalidomide, and contraception. Bonus!! Lots and lots of yittle bitty babies.

What’s the silliest thing you figured out way too late in law school? I’ll go first. No shame. I was astonished that so many judges have J. or C.J. as their first initial. I said wow! That’s a lot of Johns and Joes. Turns out that’s for Judge/Justice or Chief Judge/Justice. The more you know 🌈
