I did a Zumba class this evening. "Intense" is the best word I can come up with for it. I will be going back.

Unrelatedly, this is Fluffster's page on the ACS site.

Today, I began my volunteer odyssey with the Anti-Cruelty Society, helping people choose which cats to adopt.

Today was also Fluffster's first day on the adoption floor.

I call it kismet.

Today, I was going to go to the Anti-Cruelty Society for some good old-fashioned volunteerism. I mean, if you can't afford to donate money, why not donate time? I've got plenty of it. I had a time set up to be there and everything ( Read more... )

This afternoon at work, I got a call from a manager at the Anti-Cruelty Society, telling me that I could bring in the cat if I relinquished it as "mine."

Our apartment is somewhat besieged by tiny ants. I've done everything I can -- put the cat's food in a tupperware and a moat, take out food-based garbage incessantly, and it's not really helping.
