Hi friends. Does anyone else feel like they blinked and it was suddenly March?! Now if only this Midwest weather would make up its mind already! Snow one day, patio weather the next… sheesh!

Song of the day: We’ll be listening to Bruno Mars’ new album “The Romantic” for the foreseeable future.

Have a Q for WorkDaze or the podcast? Let’s hear it. Oh, and while you’re at it, listen to Are You Mad At Me? here.

Our favorite internet finds this week

With everything happening in the world, it feels like we say “take care of yourself” every week, but we really mean it! While it’s important to stay informed, the daily chaos and uncertainty can be incredibly overwhelming, so we’re going to keep reminding you to pause and recharge until we’re blue in the face!! 

Your well-being matters just as much as being plugged in, so to help bring a little joy to the week, we’ve rounded up a few feel-good internet moments for you below. 

Punch The Monkey

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been completely dialed in to Punch the Monkey at Ichikawa City Zoo. After a rocky start (abandoned by his mom and bullied by others), Punch’s luck is finally turning a corner, and he’s been spotted grooming and hugging a fellow monkey. If only he knew that the entire world is rooting for him!

Hilary Duff’s Son Luca Interviews Her

Hilary Duff just dropped her new album Luck Or Something, and her son Luca immediately steals the show in their Billboard interview, and humbles her in under 10 seconds.

Jeff Daniels’ Favorite Sandwich

Pita, peanut butter, potato chips…and BBQ sauce?? You already KNOW we’re always down for a good sando, but Jeff Daniels’ favorite combo has us seriously rethinking all of our life choices (or maybe just his).

Connor Storie And The US Women’s Hockey Players On SNL 

Our favorite hockey players, Connor Storie and the WOMEN’S US hockey team, stole the show on SNL this weekend…oh, and the men’s team was invited too. 🙃

Shelter Dogs Choosing Their Owners

After a fake AI video of dogs choosing their owners went viral, shelters across the country have been recreating the moment with their own pups. The events have led to multiple adoptions where these sweeties have found their FURever homes. We’re not crying, you’re crying… okay, we’re def crying. 

Viola Davis’ NAACP Acceptance Speech

“There is no man behind the curtain that has control over your life.” Viola Davis’ speech while accepting the NAACP’s Chairman’s Award was so inspiring and moving.

…while you Google “How’s Punch the Monkey doing today?”

Deli sandwich meets dip! 🤝 Olivia Noceda’s Grinder Sandwich Dipping Oil gives us the best of both worlds.

Nicole Sura’s conversation with her younger self is purely brilliant. May we all take a page from her book.

Thanks so much for rocking with us today! We’ll see you back here, same time, same place in two weeks. 🙂
