Today and tomorrow we have a conference at work. We are learning about the department plans for the rest of the year and getting a peek into 2025. We've also been doing some upskilling and getting back to fundamentals of training/facilitating. Today was a great day with some really interesting information presented. It is fantastic to have nearly everyone in our four separate work groups be able to come together and reconnect. We are a global company and we have instructors around the world. (Most are based in the US but we have an entire team of international instructors.) The day ended with dinner at Lazy Dog restaurant. I got the Grilled Lemon Chicken with cauliflower mash and green beans. It was yummy! I'm looking forward to tomorrow because a) our start time is not until 9AM and b) it looks like we will be done by 1PM. I might be able to have an early day or get some extra work done. Or maybe both!
Also, last Saturday I volunteered at one of the animal shelters and brought home a kitten to foster until Tuesday. His name is Colby Jack. I think you'll see why.

Colby Jack is precious. Congratulations on your foster-hood!
I just ordered a bundle of LEGO from Costco.com (https://www.costco.com/lego-chrysanthemum%2c-plum-blossom-and-cherry-blossoms-bundle.product.4000293987.html) because it was way too cool and priced well. Then I ordered some trash bags from Walmart (Consumer Reports says their kitchen trash bags are much better than Costco's and Amazon's), and, because I needed to order $35 worth of stuff to get free shipping, I started looking around Walmart's site and ultimately decided that I need a rechargeable drill set (I really do; I can't believe I don't have one), and found one with two batteries for $28. So next week I am expecting a couple of fun shipments!
Those LEGO sets are really neat, Kathy! Not what I would expect to be constructed from LEGOs.
