I started my work day with a walk - how awesome is that. It was really good actually because I had been sitting in stop and go traffic for the previous 15 minutes and I was a bit antsy. But this morning my team met at a meeting space a few blocks away from my…
Past few days
Yesterday we made homemade mashed potatoes. First time ever. #Adulting. The consistency was odd but the taste was decent, could have used more salt and butter in my opinion but Gene cares about his health so recipe quantities it was.

My day – July 26
