I apologize—I should have posted this sooner! Zeke is going through another rough patch & has an ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday. I picked up more meds for him from the vet today. I‘m not as consistent keeping up with everything else. 😂

CatLass007 I‘m so sorry that Zeke is still ailing. It‘s hard when it‘s our fur babies or our biological babies to be sick. We feel worse emotionally than they do because we‘re completely helpless. I hope today is a better day for both of you. 1w

This was wonderful. The way Kate Quinn told each woman's story drew me in and then to have a murder mystery intertwined made this book a fantastic read. 🤓 #greatread

JamieArc I was thinking of reading this next after just finishing and really liking the tagged

The Queens of Crime: A Novel

SheReadsAndWrites That looks good! @JamieArc Are you enjoying it?

This is my first Kate Quinn novel and I enjoyed every minute of it. I liked how each chapter was used to develop a character and gradually revealed how their lives intertwined. I also liked how every time I thought I had a connection figured out it changed. Seeing the characters become a chosen family of sorts and how challenges brought them together was refreshing. Definitely recommend.

Grand Avenues: The Story of Pierre Charles L'Enfant, the French Visionary Who Designed Washington, | Scott W. Berg

As a #longtimefed I worked in a total of seven different buildings. I saw on Bluesky this morning that the current regime has offered hundreds of federal buildings for sale, about a third of them in the Washington DC area.

You would think a real estate genius would know that selling multiple properties at once, when the agency managing those properties has had its staff cut, might not bring the highest price? Or maybe that‘s not the goal?

kspenmoll OMG they are selling our buildings. Please no one buy them! 4w

TheBookHippie 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 4w

Aims42 Real estate genius + 🍑🤡 does not compute. Again, how did a man who declared bankruptcy on his businesses not once, not twice, BUT multiple times become our president??? 4w

Leftcoastzen Absolutely correct, unfortunately!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 4w

Leftcoastzen @Aims42 it‘s actually 6 bankruptcies. He‘s a total grifter. 4w

Tamra Also, to what office are workers being required to return to? 🤔 hmmmmmmm 4w

AmyG We will become like Russia. A country of oligarchs. Run by a dictator. 4w

Amor4Libros @Tamra That was my first thought, too! 4w

Susanita @Tamra @Amor4Libros @Aims42 @Leftcoastzen https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/03/04/federal-lease-terminations-tr... 4w

Susanita @kspenmoll In “normal” times I would be in favor of selling excess and repurposing the buildings. This happened to the sixth building where I worked, and it made sense. However, these are not normal times. 😒 4w

Leftcoastzen Many federal workers said when they were forced to come back to the office, no desk , no chair, no computer, no WiFi 4w

ImperfectCJ It's possible that it's by design...lower the prices so a handful of wealthy investors can buy up the real estate. It's a stated goal of the administration (via its unelected representative) to privatize as much of the government as possible, and it's in line with the Russian model for oligarchs to gather up all they can at prices engineered to be low by intentionally flooding/crashing the market. A good time to re-read the tagged.

So good! I tore through this whole book today…a real page turner that had me questioning all the characters.

“Isn‘t that just DARLING, darling?”

This is a darling book set in post WWII Washington and laced with girly friendships that could knock the socks right off of you with ferocity. Touch of murder, some spies and a Pilsbury Bake-Off.
