@ElieNYC Crystal(ish?) chandeliers and an office depot garbage can lined with plastic.

The interior design is exactly as I would expect.

@Dallas_Holladay I also am just entering the approx 1 year to go stage.

I feel slightly drunk at the prospect of it being over, and not just going forever and ever and ever.

Congrats!

Who hasn’t felt this way once or twice down a rabbit hole of “projection calculations”?

@kejames What’s the harm in asking? (No seriously)

Me experiencing my first spring in our new home/yard next week (?).

If these buds aren’t teasing, I expect I’ll be living in a pink cotton candy cloud for at least a week.

SPRING BABY (PNW winters are tough after 15 years away).

I wish I had bought a standing desk in early 2020. This is SO MUCH better for daily WFH.

Tomorrow is my last day at a job that has been incredibly important to me for nearly 5 years. It was my first role in industry, and has changed my career in huge ways. It's very bittersweet to say goodbye, but I'm thankful for what I've learned.

Looking forward to new and next!

[Megan Smithey, PhD @MeganSmithey]

Buckle up friends.

Two raised garden beds and a laughable number of veggie seed packets are on their way.

I’m VERY excited to finally have the space for a legitimate garden!

Nothing like that Thursday night feeling of settling back onto the heating pad in bed and thinking… just one more babe. You got this.

@dr_alphalyrae Thank you for putting words to something I’ve been struggling with but couldn’t define. THIS.

@mollywood That is a suspiciously clean sidewalk.

Thoughts/experience with induction stoves? I’ve had my heart set on putting in a gas range in my new place, but that involves running more gas line ($), and a whole bunch a data on how terrible gas is.

But… how do they FEEL to use?

@tshelem_ The goal of your training is to open doors. Academia sells you on academia, but all that expertise is rewarded in lots of other spaces too.

You are only beholden to yourself. Follow the path that looks interesting to you!
