I wore my uncomfortable red shirt. I'm going to therapy and not sure after that.

Zen, DC has local shelters like Martha's Table and Capitol Hill Group Ministries. I'll bet your town has them too. Without the marketing budget of Goodwill and such, they always need help.

I'm wearing red and staying off FB. I just checked Twitter, so I need to add that to my Self Control app.

I have two appointments today that I chose to keep because they are both about supporting women. Beyond that, I'm not spending any money. Cagney has a play date and I might do some filing.

Livin' the wild life over here!

The excellent chocolate store in my neighborhood is owned and run by a woman, so I may need to buy chocolate today.

My silence is being noted in the office. I usually greet everyone and take a mid morning break to visit with people. The coworker who visits with me the least just stopped by to ask about my vacation next week.

Being off FB is hard.

I am getting the pink in my hair redone and increased and I think I will go buy cupcakes from the woman owned bakery.

Is it OK to spend money if I'm buying a major appliance for a woman? My mom needs a new dishwasher and tonight is the evening she picked to go shopping for it.

My classic rock station regularly plays women. The morning guy loves Heart.

Like a pathetic member of the bourgeoisie, I'm at work munching on the breakfast the company supplied for Women's Day. And I forgot about red.

I'm wearing red, but working--had I known about this earlier I could've but didn't hear until after I'd already taken most of yesterday off!

And since I just got home from a week long trip yesterday I really do need to spend money today...are there women owned grocery stores? If I go to the co-op does that count?

I'm wearing red, but I'm not working right now, so I couldn't take the day off. Only did minimal housework though - I made the bed and emptied the dishwasher because I couldn't live with myself otherwise, but definitely not doing any extra sweeping/mopping/dusting or anything today.

Yesterday I took a train 40 mins to hang out at the Humane Society with some cats, and I didn't realize that I am literally around the corner from Miami-Dade Animal Services. I think I'll head over there this afternoon. I'm having trouble deciding if I think I'm allergic to cats! I was a tad sniffly yesterday morning before I ever went near one, and it didn't get any worse after having some cats crawl all over me. I'm paranoid, though - we want a cat, but I don't want to get it home and THEN realize it makes me sick - I could never bring it back to a shelter. So I guess I'll check out another shelter and see if I can get some more cats crawling all over. I hope I can have one :(

Good luck with the cat cuddling, zuisa!

Keep in mind that shelters, by necessity, use a LOT of solvents, fragrances, etc. Sniffliness could be triggered by other stuff.

meara, I'd vote for the co-op, in any case. I desperately wish there was one in my neighborhood. Especially since TJs is coming in, which will functionally kill the 200 year old Market right out my window. :{

I'm doing laundry. My home-labor effects no one but Cagney. He's snoozing in a sunbeam at the mo. Dreaming of running for office, no doubt. Or, maybe a bully stick. Probably the bully stick, if we're honest.

Excitement for the day this far, calculating that I could decrease my 401K contribution by 1%. Getting a whole 45$ more per paycheck.
