| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jen Fulweiler Show coming to you once again from Memphis, slightly classier studio than last time. |
| 0:14.3 | We are now in our permanent housing and we are all set up in Memphis. |
| 0:19.9 | Is this, this lovely place that I am sitting in, is it housing for cancer patients or is it a podcast studio? I say why not both. We have a great fine show for you today. We had no show for you last week because life got crazy as it is want |
| 0:41.3 | to do when you are taking care of someone with cancer. But I think we are back in a rhythm here. |
| 0:48.1 | And I should be able to be a little more consistent with podcast episodes. And by the way, by the way, you guys following along |
| 0:58.9 | with this podcast and my life and all this crazy stuff that is going on, honestly, it is your, |
| 1:06.7 | this should count as something for Lent. This should get you extra points with God because |

| 2:15.4 | I'm going to do the microphone and capture the audio |
| 2:17.9 | and we'll just give up on bringing Caitlin in and just set her up on my iPad. That's the very not |
| 2:23.7 | high tech part of it. But honestly, as Blue Flames always do, it gave me energy to be able to work on this. |
| 2:35.4 | I had more excitement, more energy, more just kind of ability to deal with the curveballs |
