I am on the last week of maternity leave and I have a lengthy to do list. I also woke up with a vision. guess which won out for today.

a photo of a long tail electric cargo bike parked in a driveway. Mounted on the rear rack is a child seat and behind that is a wooden slatted crate. inside the crate is a large articulated skeleton, posed so that it is sitting cross legged in the crate and waving behind the bike. Along the rear and sides of the bike are black felt decorations shaped like spiders and spider webs.

been listening to The Only Plane in the Sky audiobook about 9/11 and I love tech because I'll get in my car on my way to take the kids to daycare and as I'm reversing out of my driveway, the audiobook starts playing over the speaker of people talking about the horrors they saw that day.

my routine has been so messed up since my pup died. I miss him so much. Just got up to go to the bathroom and he wasn't in usual spot to trip me on the way.

this escape artist got out of the yard ON MY WEDDING DAY and got a few blocks away before my husband found him again. Still the bestest (curious, with an insatiable need to explore) boy.

we have our last night tonight with our first baby, Rex. We got him when he was two years old at Seattle Humane. He's been through 3 moves, our marriage, and the birth of both of girls. We'll miss you deeply Rexxar. our family won't be the same without you.

saw the biggest caterpillar I've ever seen in my life on the bike ride home today. 2.5yo for scaled. we saw it safely across the trail and then said "goodbye caterpillar!"

Avg US household = 1.83 cars 17.9% of 192,734 households is ~34500. 34500 x 1.83 x $12k annual car cost = $757,606,516 going into the local economy or not going into debt servicing. Or about $1762 more for every single resident in Minneapolis, every year.

finally mounted my drink holder i got for Christmas last night on my ebike. tested it out this morning and it worked alright. definitely splashed on the bumps. I ordered a medium drink in a large cup to try to account for it. probably need something with more lateral suspension.

I've been sharing my bike painting journey in a group chat but thought it might be entertaining/helpful(?) to share here too! Before taking this on, the most bike maintenance i had done was changing out brake pads sooo I'm a bit over my head but I'm on maternity leave and have some time to learn!

Please please consider doing something nice for your mail carrier this week- we don't get hazard pay, and many postal offices (like the one I work at) do not have N95s on hand. Honestly, if you have spare masks, offer them to anyone who has to be outside in this.

I'm very glad Rep. Kean was able to take time off of work and get treatment for his depression. Rep. Kean also voted for the OBBB, which will kick Americans who need to take a month from work to seek mental health treatment off of Medicaid because they're "able-bodied adults".

my belief is that at the end of the day, great games are made by groups of people who have high trust with each other & can fluidly execute a shared vision. which is a small part of why these layoffs are so devastating- it's not just about jobs, it's about these "trust structures" being torn apart.
