I had 1 weekish after the Championship  to relax and today is when I start shooting Greys Anatomy, the public hasn't figured out about the divorce, and its not completely finalized. im living in my house still and Mal has moved out and we are co-Parenting, im living in L.A for the time being for filming. I've had my 100th appearance for the National team.

I wake up at 7AM i get dressed i fix my hair I drink a protein shake, and I head fo shooting, when I get there i speak to Shonda, and Ellen and I get into the outfit and we start filming.

In November I get a call and an offer to play a role in Supergirl, I go to the audition and I get it, I talk to the producers and we all agree on what my character is and we start shooting in February and my character description is her name is Riley Cohen, she is a former Marine she served 7 years, she was a Infantry Gunnery Sergeant, 4 tours in Afghanistan, 5 tours in Iraq, 2 tours in Kuwait, Hand on hand Combat trained, Black Belt in Judo, and a Black Belt Dan 5 in a military mma Kray Maga, has medals and awards from the Marines like Combat Action Ribbon, Combat Infantryman Badge, Bronze Star medal, Good Conduct medal, Meritorious Unit Commendation, Marine Corps Expedoirnary Medal, She lost lots of friends from Combat zones, she has a Masters Degree in Journalism, Masters in Business administration, and a Bachelors in  Political science. She gains friendships in Kara Danvers and eventually finds out she is Supergirl, and she finds friendships also in Alex Danvers, Nia Nal, Lena Luthor. She soon helps fight aliens and stop crime with Supergirl and her team, She is a Badass and isn't scared of anything, She starts getting close with Lena and is kinda like a professional Bodyguard for her, she most likely carries a Glock 19 on her at all times, Her dad owns a huge multi-million Tech and Engineering company called  Cohenworks in National City, and she sometimes helps with the company, the company works along side L-Corp, she partially owns the company because of her father, When her father dies He wants her to own the company and become CEO, she is a Chairman of the company already.
