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?

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

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 :(

Compassionately intolerant

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm doing my laundry, but I always do my own laundry. If I decided to not do it today in protest, the only person it would hurt is me, because I need clean underwear.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Way to make a difference, aurelia!

Good luck zuisa!

I think buying your mom a dishwasher and grocery shopping at a co-op are both ideologically sound.

I'm wearing red, have noticed one other person in the office who is but haven't asked her yet if that was a coincidence. I'm going to have to buy lunch because otherwise I won't be able to eat, I think I will get it from the family-owned Thai restaurant I like, there are definitely women in the family. Kinda want to shop at the consignment store that I know is owned by a couple of women who live in Suisun, but they are only open while I am at work and I don't think I can take a long enough lunch to make that work. Maybe I can pop in for a minute and see if anything catches my eye and isn't too expensive.

Starbucks is double points today and I am conflicted about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am wearing red at work.

Thrive to spite them

I'm trying to stay off FB, I checked over there to post a few things in some secret support groups.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am not at work , because it is my day off.

I am wearing red. I am doing some housework, because it makes me unhappy to be in too much chaos.

I am going to the niles pie company. - they are having an action in - postcards, stamps,etc so we can write to congress people. Plus today's profits go to SAVE - our local domestic violence shelter. An NPC is own by a woman

My breakfast was a my usual cafe - which is women owned.

Happy hour - at my usual Wednesday gathering is at a restaurant owned by women.
