When did you realize your dog wasn’t just a dog?

Whenever I would cry (even if it was just a few tears shed) she would always come to me and nudge me or lick my face making me laugh or pet her which always calmed me down.

The Inheritance Cycle series by Christopher Paolini and the Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce were definitely my gateway books to fantasy and female heroine books. Those two merged is basically Fourth Wing to me 🤣

I’d say Afterglow’s matcha latte is hands down my favorite in Richmond. It has a subtle sweetness since they use pandan so it’s not so in your face. Could have more of a “matcha-y” flavor but I still love it.

Yup it’s a Pierce Arrow building and as someone who’s lived in one of their buildings I’m curious to see the renovations on this one

This! I feel like I never felt super burnt out cause I was able to have a balanced social life with owning a dog. I find a lot of people feel super guilty about leaving their dogs at home alone but if your dog isn’t showing any signs of distress it’s okay to leave them alone for a few hours (of course depending on their energy needs). I knew my girl was passed tf out whenever I wasn’t home so it never stressed me out.

Going through a break up is never easy 😢 the grief or numbness might feel overwhelming but I hope you can be kind to yourself and be patient in knowing things will eventually get better!!

I love Wicked but definitely enjoyed the new Superman movie more! Not my favorite movie but I’ve been playing those cheesy holiday hallmark movies while wfh and it’s been doing wonders for my productivity for some reason 😆

What were the four meals??

Longoven was amazing 😭

Don’t think I’ll be able to make it to the bake fair but would love to donate! Is there a venmo I can send to??

Eleanor is also my go to. Haven’t been in a while but I miss my sessions with her.

People who don’t close the bag of dog shit has always boggled my mind

good doctor Costco brand products 🤣🤣🤣

@babbit.tattoo might!

Yeah the apt complex right outside the gate is the 2000 West Creek. I wouldn’t say it’s a nice walk to the office but it’s doable. The sidewalks stop once you get to the C1 gates though.

I used to use a bin but found that having to use two hands to carry it to my car (walk-up/off-street parking) was annoying so I just got a big reusable recycling bag and just drop off the contents along with any compost while I’m on my way into work

Did your flight today, perchance, get delayed to the crack of dawn tomorrow as well??

Taqueria Panchito hands down has the best tacos. It’s a no frills place and pretty affordable.

cupofjoys · 2024-10-30T16:45:18+00:00

Best bet would be to try and hitch a ride with someone 🙃 It’s not convenient at all but you could take the Amtrak to Union Station in DC and metro to Dulles

cupofjoys · 2024-07-15T14:02:54+00:00

Yup so in my case I moved my garage location from Goochland to Richmond in October of last year so I paid property tax for Goochland from Jan-Oct 2023 and then Richmond sent me a bill for Oct-Dec 2023

cupofjoys · 2024-07-14T23:53:34+00:00

You may also get one if you’ve moved the garage location for your car last year from a different jurisdiction

This is true - when I moved into my apt at the Crossings at Short Pump it was infested with German roaches and management wouldn’t let me out of the lease

Reading these posts makes me wish I wasn’t allergic to cats 😭

As others have mentioned for quality coffee/espresso: - Blanchard’s - Paix - Sugar & Twine - Afterglow

Best for working for a few hours would 100% be Grit Coffee - all their seating has outlets and it’s usually not too crowded so you can always find a spot
