I work for a hospital system on a 5-member team, and though we aren’t in direct patient care, we definitely contribute to it. I don’t feel morally capable of calling out because I don’t want to leave my coworkers or our patients in the lurch. So I worked today as always. But I organized myself to not need to shop or even turn on the tv or drive anywhere, and I’ve been looking forward all day to a very quiet evening with an actual paper-paged book (not Kindle) and could not be happier. I would be glad to do this regularly.
I’m retired, so I haven’t shopped and went to a bridge brigade event, came home and continued to declutter. TV tonight will be PBS only , which is easy because I rarely watch regular tv anyway.
I have to work - I don't even have vacation days on my job yet. But I'm not doing any shopping, I'm cooking at home instead of the usual Friday night takeout or pizza at the end of a long week, and I've removed things on my Amazon list and will buy them in person at actual stores over the weekend.
My husband did not work today and my son did not attend school. But, we did have to spend some money to have old furniture hauled away in preparation for a re-flooring job that my landlord scheduled to start on Monday (it was all scheduled months ago, so…). Wish we could’ve done more, but… 🤷🏻♀️
I’m getting some work done around the house. I had planned to participate in a protest, but ended up not feeling well. No work, no shopping not even looking for something on the Internet. Trying to avoid even seeing ads - cause I know they track that.
No shopping, my work is freelance, and none of it is due today. My town, which regularly holds twice-weekly protests for a couple of hours on Wed and Fri, is holding a 6 hour rally at our main crossroads, to give everyone who can the chance to participate. During the walkout on the anniversary of the inauguration, we had a couple of hundred kids from the local high school walk out and join us. Not exaggerating to say that when we saw that mass of kids marching towards us, a lot of us burst into tears.
