So this happened today.
Replying to @Kaitlin_Knapp1
One homeowner tells me he sprayed a fire extinguisher and a hose — anything to protect their home. Tomorrow, he said he’s going to get rid of extra weeds and create defensible space. The weeds aren’t on their property, but they want to make sure their home is safe.
Oh Hi @Delta - it’s now 11pm PT…. And yes. I’m still on hold. Platinum medallion benefits are just wow today.
Hi @Delta , what’s the best way of getting a hold of an agent? I’ve literally been on hold since 8am PT on the platinum line.

Engineering is one of the most creative jobs in the world. Jeff’s Ask Your Developer philosophy is spot on—unleashing the creativity of developers is the key to innovation, no matter what industry you are in. Congratulations on the book launch, @jeffiel! amazon.com/Ask-Your-Develope…

Still in the “hazardous” air quality category. Can not wait for some relief so we can breathe again.

A swing set that allows a parent to sit and drink wine while also pushing a child on a swing. Thank you, brand I do not know. You’re every parents dream. #covidparent #momlife

Met a really nice local while shopping at @Lowes. It was one of those situations where exchanging numbers would have been appropriate so we could become friends, but we didn’t. Joe and I both watch too much @DatelineNBC 😂

This week: cleaned the deck only to discover a massive stream of water making its way into our house, homeless person coming out of the hillside bushes, casually walking through our yard, and getting hit by another driver minutes from home with my family in the car. #shit
Dear @SpokaneCity, it would be great to use the Ben Burr trail, but there’s been a burnt down car with dangerous debris and shards of glass in the middle of the pathway from Hartson for over a month making. Numerous calls and reporting on 311, and still no resolution. What gives?

Just keeps collecting other items as the weeks progress. New addition are these concrete remnants someone dumped. Please @SpokaneCity, help keep our streets clean and safe.
My mentee today: Oh my gosh, thank so you much for that free therapy session. I feel like my headspace is so much clearer. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing... 🗣 #mentornottherapist
Yesterday’s yard work revealed two spigots we didn’t know existed, a full-grown zucchini, one small onion, a buried garden gnome, and a mini antique wheelbarrow. #newoldhome #cleaningup #thehartsonhouse
Did a bit of investigative work and got some history on our newly purchased 1901 home. Would you want to know if and/or how many people have died in your home? #homehistory #thisoldhouse #idonotseedeadpeople(yet)
Dude drives his car over the embankment near my house and can’t afford to have it rescued. City (thank you) comes to safely remove it today and guy shows up pissed because he doesn’t want to pay for the tow or to get it out of impound. Public land is it your dumping ground... 👎🏽

I’ve always owned “city homes” where my lawn was a strip of something that required no maintenance. I own close to an acre now, and today I learned two valuable lessons when weed whacking. #wearpants #protectiveeyewear

I’m the mom who buys the Costco size Goldfish crackers for my kids and end up eating them all. #noshame #momlife
