susandennisI so appreciate the work of community organizers. Not in the 'how can I help?' way but in the 'I support you with my thoughts' way. Usually. But today, I'm going to glove up and join in. My neighbor is on the city committee that you have to go to to make exterior changes to anything in the historical district we live in.
As part of that work, she's involved in the annual neighborhood cleanup. Trash pickup, graffiti paint over, median weeding, etc. A lot of people work hard to get this organized. We get gloves and tools and t-shirts and 3 hours to do our assigned tasks.
Ann's coming down the hall to pick me up in 30 minutes. Ordinarily, I'd be begging off because I have swim class but I couldn't quite pull that off this time plus I owe Ann for her patient and kind hauling me home from surgery and back for the appointment the day after.
So... I'm off to do my civic duty today.
I'm not sure what's happening after that. My options are open. But, no brunch today.
