Happy Doperversary, **teelabrown**! 🍰

I don’t remember the last time I was able to post in an MMP on a Monday! Woo hoo! There are definitely things I should be doing, but my next meeting isn’t until 2pm and I’ve decided that I’m taking the next ~45 min off.

The rest of the day will be busy: I’m interviewing a project analyst candidate\[1\] at 3pm, then I have a hard stop at 4pm so I can get from the office to my old house in time for my 5pm move-out inspection. We’re supposed to get some big thunderstorms right around 5-6pm: I’m hoping the worst of it will hold off long enough for me to get back in the car after the walk-through. 🤞 Then it’ll be a 10-minute drive to the new house, where I’ll get to park in a garage and stay nice and dry!

Yesterday’s lunch with dad and bro went well. Traffic was only somewhat annoying (mostly just volume issues), and I made both drives in about an hour each; only 15-20 min longer than they should have been. Last night I finished building the Lego wolf, but I can’t access my preferred image host from work so I won’t be able to post a picture until later in the week.

A bit of catching up from yesterday before diving into this week’s posts:

I hadn’t even thought about that! Now I’ll double down my efforts to install the replacement, so that it’s in place before the cleaners come for the first time.

I’ll decide later. 😁

Awww. ☹ 🫂

Then that’s the one I’ll build next. 😃 Thank you for helping me decide!!

That’s one of the sets I fixed on Saturday! 🙂 It was the most badly broken of all of them, because I dropped it – on a hardwood floor – while trying to shrink-wrap it.

The last set that needs to be fixed is the _Ghostbusters_ [Firehouse Headquarters](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/firehouse-headquarters-75827), which I’ll tackle this weekend (before I start Snoopy). It’s really big, but it broke in sections that _seem_ to be easily reattached…we’ll see! I didn’t drop that one, it just wasn’t able to handle much movement.

1. for a new position; not a replacement for the absconded project manager
