The Senate is scheduled to hold a cloture vote tonight on the legislative vehicle for the bipartisan short-term continuing resolution that will extend government funding deadlines to March 1 and March 8.
As of late Monday night, the House Republican leadership seemed intent on keeping votes scheduled for this evening as well.
If party leaders cancel votes tonight, lawmakers won't make an effort to return to Capitol Hill, delaying the House's business with a shutdown looming Friday night.
Speaker Mike Johnson and the House Republican leadership plan to host a closed-door party meeting Wednesday morning to talk through the week's business.
Of course, the highlight of this week's business is passing the government funding bill by Friday night.
Passage in the House will mean some hoop-jumping for GOP leaders.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is also out while recovering from a stem-cell transplant.
