I rode public transportation in Chicago, in Atlanta, in Miami, and now in Saint Louis. I live one stop from work so whether walking there (have not done this yet), driving, taking the light rail 🚈, this is the closest I have ever lived to work.

Hey, #FedEx. Your driver left a package for me right under a sign that says do not leave packages here. Just thought you would want to know. #DoBetter

I'm rewatching Search Party with Alia Shawkat. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's 5 seasons and the arc is fascinating how the characters progress over time.

“I looked down, breathed deeply, very grateful for her kindness, then lifted my glass and peered ahead, at the lavender and the low wall, the garden losing colour to the night, the tips of Gilbert’s conifers like cypresses against the deep blue sky.” Our Evenings, Alan Hollinghurst

I’m reading Alan Hollinghurst’s new novel Our Evenings and this passage was so evocative to me. “Mum kept glancing out the window, for telltale flakes against the darkening sky. She dreaded them and longed for them too, as an absolute reason to leave.” #literature #readabook

More of Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. Just breathtaking views and had a fun time traipsing around the Caves part of The Baths. We finished the day at the Baths beach. I loved diving with my swim 🥽 on and see so many cool things underwater. Highly recommend.#cruise #NCL 🚢

The 🚢 arrived in Tortola, British Virgin Islands very early this morning (6:45am). I was scheduled to go on an excursion to #VirginGorda by ferry and visit The Baths. The famous Baths. The trails at The Baths are not for those with mobility problems.

Beautiful #sunset 🌅 from the 🛳️. The ship has this outdoor walkway with a glass floor. Not gonna lie, it was incredibly windy and felt slightly dangerous. I had a yummy dinner at Le Bistro on the ship also.#cruise

Acknowledging Mother’s Day today. The photo of my mom in a red bandana was taken by me when I was about 6 or 7. She was busy cleaning the house. I was helping by taking her photo. The second one is when my parents had NYE parties and I was still small enough to be “baby new year”.

Some initial thoughts on the #Norwegian Cruise Line’s 🚢 Luna: fewer children, so that is a plus. Getting into the peaceful groove I need for this week. Booked a post-birthday dinner for myself at Los Lobos and will enjoy some entertainment afterwards.

The COL is insane in South Florida. Not just for students but for the everyday worker as well. It’s not just rents that have skyrocketed but expenses as well. Most of my staff can’t afford to live in Miami so their commutes are ridiculous. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Miami’s rising cost of living is changing the student experience

For many FIU students, financial pressure is becoming a significant part of the college experience.

This detox may erase 10 years of social media brain damage, researchers say

Studies show that taking even short breaks could reverse measures of cognitive decline.

I am trying to detox from work as I start my weeklong #vacation. Before I head off on a 🚢 tomorrow, I went to the beach at Cape Florida today in Key Biscayne for a bit. For early May, it’s already hot out and the sand is boiling. The ocean water was great though!

This is the Greenery Mall in the Kendall part of #Miami. Jo-Ann Fabrics just closed their store (used to be on the right in the photo). It’s eerily quiet until you walk down to TJ Maxx / HomeGoods.
