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.

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.

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.

I am wearing red at work.

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

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.

No kitty cuddles today - all the cats are the nearby shelter are under quarantine.

And the one I loved at yesterday's shelter has already been adopted! But I suppose there'll always be one I love, each time I go.

I'm wearing red. About to go for a drive, which, yes, gas was spent for, but at least it's not at a store or online shopping. And there's sun, and the future forecast is iffy. So, mental health time = scenery.

Zuisa, as a veteran of the cat shelters, I can say that there's always at least one -- and usually several -- cats that you'll fall in love with. And you can't always predict which. When we volunteered, there were usually a couple of cats that all the volunteers loved. But beyond that -- just about every cat was one of somebody's favorites. Which made it nice, because every cat would get special attention.
