Friends have difficulties. I find a need to temporarily fill taking care of cats up for adoption at a satellite facility which means I’ve never met anyone in the organization except for one woman who was only sent to make sure I signed a waiver so if I died on duty it wasn’t their fault.
Hey, I felt for the neglected cats, will find out more about the organization as I’ve a meeting being scheduled with their volunteer leader and will assess further involvement including viewing of all their facilities and their financial statements.
Today the wind is blowing at least 60 mph, there’s snow, hail, sleet, rain and it alternates every few minutes. Nasty storm. Zoe (our dog) was out with me in the back third of the SUV with 4″ orthopedic pet bed as we ran errands to donate new snowboard boots we found by a dumpster, pick up a technical book at the library for Jim, and stop at the “retail” pet facility for the non-profit I now assist.
We will not be grilling the burgers I was supposed to make tonight, because there are awful hail sounds outside and the winds are horrific. I can’t even tell Jim what time to come home so he still has paint on his car, because the weather changes every few moments. That reminds me, I need to go to the garage to find out if I still have paint on mine! Cheers and have a warm and wind-free evening. Dee

I grew up in snow and ice but this hail and wind are incredible. Not to mention that the thunder and lightning have started. Pity my poor husband trying to make it up the hill tonight. Dee
