For me, it’s a Liberty Nickel minted in 1908. I found it in 2013 on a bus ride home from work. Picked it up and kept it since.

It’s only worth about eight bucks, but it boggles my brain to think about holding something that someone else held in 1908. At that time my nickel could have purchased a loaf of bread, a ticket to ride an urban trolley, a glass of draft beer or a seat in a movie theater.

Good morning, #cosonauts. This one’s for you, @amarand

Hey, look! Here are those #birbs you didn’t ask for. #unsolicitedbudgies

When it it’s #LaborDay but your family is feeling Halloweenie.

My work bestie got me a cookie cake for my birthday (on Tuesday) because she knew my power was out and I had to throw away everything in my fridge. We sliced it this afternoon on our nursing unit and I even had some left to bring home for my kiddo. So if my power is still out by Wednesday, at least I will have had a bit of birthday cake.

I am #grateful for the kindness.

I am overwhelmed, moved to tears. My heart is in my throat, strangling me with honor I don’t deserve.

A patient just presented me with his own military challenge coin. Told me I have helped saved his life. I’m not a doctor or nurse. I’m a front desk, weekend health unit coordinator.

I’m shaking. I’m shattered. I’m honored beyond effective words.

#birb portrait captures the essence of this little weirdo.

It’s this gem for me. I still adore every single song.

Nostalgia from my high school days. I never played an instrument, but I marched in the band. I was a faker, and filled in vacant spots in the show. Most of the time I was a faux flautist. Other times I was a pseudo-saxophonist.

Well, I caved to the wishes of a 5yr old. #birb #budgie

She is conflicted on naming her though. Coco, Tiki, Rosita, Melody…

Good morning, #cosonauts #cosobookclub #caffeineclub!

Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke is witty, bizarre, and exactly what I needed after finishing Zero Days by Ruth Ware yesterday.

The almond milk mocha is just the icing on the cake.

Chirp chirp, MotherDucker
