Good morning and greetings from Columbus, Ohio!!

Fingers crossed for good news today. In the meantime, I’m still packing up my apartment.

Anyone want a wrought iron room divider? Or a big huge (olive green) squishy chair & matching ottoman?

Have an awesome day!

I’m heading into my election training class.

Make sure you’re registered to vote AND registered at your current address!!

I’m sure there are 49 other states out there that can match the training, skill, and expertise of the TX National Guard.

Our Armed forces are excellent no matter where they’re based.

Yum!

1/2 Cauliflower
1/2 green pepper
A handful of baby carrots

All chopped

1/2 cup-ish of grated sharp cheddar cheese

Some Italian salad dressing to taste.

Hey #Hockey fans - especially those who have been to more than one arena. (#NHL or #AHL or wherever)

What are some of your favorite foods and snacks at hockey arenas? I need some good ideas. Can be anything from simple to fancy to outrageous. Beverages, too!

THANK YOU!

I know I'm getting packing done, but my apartment still comes across as a disaster zone. No. Really. I'm making progress.

Honest!

Sigh.

LOL! Hope you all enjoy your Sunday!

And what are they doing about it.

On it, boss!

Both teams calls went well this morning.

Just heard from my recruiter that now the company CFO wants to talk to me, so I’m waiting on a call back.

So instead of keeping the government open and releasing the Epstein files, they’re making videos?

Go Cubbies!!!

Teams meetings with two people tomorrow morning. Send good juju at 9 and 1030, please!!

You look great!!

But I just had a phone interview for a new job. Next step is to set up a Teams meeting with the actual company. I’m working with recruiters.

It seems like a job that caters to my resume so fingers crossed!

Please send good job interview juju my way! ❤️

Have a great day, everyone!

I have about 10 days to pack up my apartment and get it all into storage. To call it overwhelming would be a gross understatement.

In the mood for an open door, firefighter romance?

Alzheimer's is odious. It's god-awful. :-(

Yet, as president, no one can take over if he's still alive. Absent the 25th, he would still be president and the VP wouldn't have the authority to fill in. Unless he's incapacitated in some way (stroke or the like) he would still be president.
