If my cat, Barnabas, was a spy (note: he would make a terrible spy. Not stealthy or clever at all)

Last minute lunch with @eaghamehdi and @auggie3688! Loved getting a chance to see and catch up with these two. 😍😍😍

BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE

Surprised Dan with tickets to see Beetlejuice at The National Theater tomorrow. I was just as excited about making this card as I was about the tickets 💜💚🖤💜💚🖤

Dots and Thots (and cats)

Turned 36 today - as birthdays go it was good but different. It was my first day back at work and I ended the day far more exhausted than I expected (today might have been the first day in three weeks I didn’t take some kind of nap), but it was a great day back. A surprise bagel breakfast, a card, a couple thoughtful gifts and a wonderful caring team. I came back to a good list of work including a chat around some big goals to carry out the year and into 2019. But by the end of the day all I wanted for my bday was a nap. Instead I got lots of hugs and 36 kisses from Dan (he also gave me this awesome notebook! And we had a fancy dinner at @fancyradishdc last night!) Dan came with me on a target run for hot Cheetos, gauze and tape (buying gauze and tape are not what I was expecting for 36). I spent a relaxing night watching Beetlejuice and feeling loved. I think that a year ago, 35 year old Taylor would not believe her life right now - both the best and the worst bits.

Ummmm thank you @aeshaw12 for this book (and for being awesome). I am laughing so hard.

If you’ve got a friend like my friend Karen, @bookfreak83, then you know you’ve won the jackpot of friendships. 🤗😍💖💕

It’s been almost a week since surgery and it’s my first day on my own (my bf is with me in the morning and evenings - I can’t fly totally solo quite yet). Thank goodness B is here to take care of me!

Progress so far:
- Can walk slowly around the apt with my cane and/or walker to make coffee, breakfast, get anything out of the top fridge shelf or bottom cabinet shelves.
- Can make it to and use the bathroom on my own!! - Can make it two hallway lengths with my walker before getting leg pains
-Can get on and off the couch and in and out of bed myself!
- I can lift my legs a little bit and can bring them up on the couch myself (this is huge)
- I have a little more feeling in my toes and bottom of my foot!

There’s still a lot I can’t do, but the progress is amazing. I’m so so so so incredibly thankful. I keep saying it but I’m so lucky on SO MANY LEVELS.

My walker needed some bling. C/o @andyjpizza and his new Creative Career Path project. Excited to dig into his book while I’m down for the count.

OHMYGOD. It’s literally impossible to sit at home and feel sorry for myself when I have such amazing coworkers, friends and family. In addition to some incredibly generous @postmates and Amazon gift cards I got the mother of all get well gifts - WAY better than flowers - a GOLDEN DINOSAUR with succulents!! (c/o @urbanstems ). I work with the most amazing people. Thank you WaPo product team 😍 the whole time I’m couch-ridden I’m going to admire my new buddy. 🦕 (I don’t follow everyone on IG but thank you @roy_wilhelm, @katdowns @unconstruct @rubensteinben @sjmeff chelsea and everyone else I’m sure I’m missing)

Aaaah I’m so lucky to have all my family but all of us know that having @nakniks for a sister is THE BEST. She sent a classic Nikki special care package and it’s amazing. Complete with dinosaur glitter and Jeff Goldblum! Thank you Nikki!!!!! 💕💖💞💝

I guess yesterday was #nationalboyfriendday and after the week I’ve had I couldn’t have asked for or imagined a sweeter, kinder more loving boyfriend. It’s a long story but after a long and painful week, I wound up having emergency spinal surgery last night (I had Cauda Equina Syndrome - it’s not a fun google search) and just returned home. I can’t even begin to imagine going through this week without Dan by my side. I wouldn’t have made it without him. 😍 p.s. I’m accepting any and all good thoughts, prayers and vibes. Ive got a long several weeks ahead.
