Found I made a rookie mistake today. Opened up a spreadsheet I'd spent considerable time revamping only to find I'd saved over it with the previous version. 🤦‍♀️ It's been a while since I've done that.

Y'all! Come on now. I know this box fit into my mail slot when you shoved it from the back, but how am I supposed to get it out the front? Those additional frames ain't playing. Ugh. 😣

(Finally had to get the hubby to manhandle it and yank it out.)

Some good news! A federal judge struck down Florida's book ban law (HB 1069) as unconstitutional, ruling it violated First Amendment protections for school libraries. The victory protects authors' rights and students' access to diverse literature.

📚 Women of Caprock is a series of interconnected standalones set in the male-dominated world of oilfield services, where the ratio of men to women employees is 75% to 25%. With even fewer women in management. 📚

The Hubby likes to watch cartoons on Saturday. While watching the antics of Wyle Coyote, it occurred to me that the Acme company is Amazon. You can get anything you want and have it delivered directly to you.
