We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

That which does not kill you should RUN

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.
