This is my eye. My license says “hazel” but technically it’s just both brown and green? Idunno, is that hazel? I never know.

A photo zoomed and cropped to just be a close up of my eye. It’s got both brown and green, where the brown makes a smaller inner circle around the pupil

One time, when I was a kid, my dad dumped a big pile of pennies on the table and asked me to sort them by year. It took a long time, but I quietly sat there and did it. All the while thinking, my dad is weird for wanting them sorted.

Now as an adult, I figured out that was a keep-a-kid-busy task🤦‍♀️

Stuff like this should be remembered. Lots of people, especially healthcare workers, telling this 14yr old how bad early covid actually was.

We all mask all the time at my work at the pharmacy. But it’s especially a great day for masking for me: hides this stupid pimple I just got 🙈 haha

My personal rule for illegally biking on the sidewalk is to slow down to walking speed & give a wide berth when going around ppl who are on foot.
Cuz I’m the one who’s not supposed to be there, so it’s my job to get out of the way.
But I still bike on sidewalks. Rather risk a ticket than my safety🤷‍♀️
