  @DeniseG I saw an article a few weeks back where ministers across Europe were telling people to plan for 2 weeks without electricity, food, water, in the case of Russian attacks. Yikes!

  @DeniseG All Mondays are rough, just more so when coming from extra time off. I only worked 2 days last week and this Monday feels like I was off a month. 🙄

  The House Just Passed Another Permanent Daylight Saving Time Bill https://gizmodo.com/the-house-just-passed-another-permanent-daylight-saving-time-bill-2000785692 (And like every year in the past, it will probably die before becoming a law.
