Gads, what a busy week! I haven’t stopped “doing” all week. In addition to critter sitting for a friend since last Thursday (which will continue through tomorrow morning), I’ve been walking, blogging, preparing for the upcoming two consecutive-Saturday garage sales, shopping for groceries, getting a haircut, answering important move-related emails, and … what else?!

Its (former ) written goal of achieving life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and justice for all of its people. (Sadly, never achieved because of white supremacists and misogynists very much like the ones who are in power right now.
