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. #caudaequinasyndrome #caudaequinarecovery #catlady
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. #caudaequinasyndrome #ces #creativepeptalk #creativecareerpath #100percentjazzed
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.
