Humans like to think of the bathroom as their private space. But if you live with dogs, you know that “private” is a myth. The bathroom is not yours alone. It’s a stage where your furry companions reveal their quirks, philosophies, and, oddly enough, life lessons. Take my […]
How do you relax? So there I was, late Saturday night, staring at the streaming void trying to figure out what to watch. I landed on a documentary about the history of reggaetón on Peacock. Why not? It sounded like the perfect background noise for folding laundry. Except […]
By the time I sat down Friday night, it was 7:30 PM and I had lived what felt like three weeks crammed into five days. Sleep was a rumor. Anxiety was a clingy roommate. Coffee was my emotional support animal. It was one of those weeks. The kind […]
The pumpkin spice fog hasn’t even fully settled over the land, and already September is coming in hot with its mile-long to-do list. Forget New Year’s resolutions. This is when the real reset button gets smacked, whether you like it or not. The emails are breeding. The meetings […]
