    • [✅] Other VC events if I can.
    • Zapier event Postponed.
      • Turns out this was the day they announced Layoffs. Not a good time to hold a webinar on salary negotiations.
      • Indirectly led me to miss another event. I had two things back to back. Thought this was the first one so When I learned it was cancelled I did other stuff and forgot about thing two.
    • [✅] Dallas Software Developers Meetup Thursday, June 29 at 7:00 PM Night of JavaScript. (Virtual)

Haha, lovin' the Capt. America memes. 🇺🇸

On the note of July 4th, one of my goals is to knock my dog out with meds so she can hopefully sleep through all the fireworks. Fireworks become so much less fun when you have a pet. 😅

We had natural fireworks Friday and Saturday nights. There were thunderstorm both nights. So people weren't shooting off stuff here. I expect to hear a lot come nightfall. If any are close they'll freak the cat out.

Nature's fireworks are the best, but they also freak my dog out. My dog is a big weenie, haha!
