Yesterday I visited a friend, and she gave me several black blouses and black pants to support me in my desire to be in mourning until the war against Iran stops. I am joining the Women in Black. I am going into my second week of wearing black and think this will be easier if I reorganize my walk-in closet

Who are Women in Black?

Women in Black is a world-wide network of women committed to peace with justice and actively opposed to injustice, war, militarism and other forms of violence. As women experiencing these things in different ways in different regions of the world, we support each other’s movements. An important focus is challenging the militarist policies of our own governments. We are not an organisation, but a means of communicating and a formula for action.

I also combine certain errands based on their locations along wit a nod to outdoor temps and whether I'm buying perishables. 95% of my errands (including medical and dental appointments) are under 10 miles from home.

yep...mine are a little further.. usually a 30 mile or 40 mile round trip.... altho' our little maket town is very close.... they only have the bare necessities there, and as many coffee bars and restaurants you can think of.... ..... so I need go to larger town further away
 
Back from downtown SJ with the weather sprinkling or more most of the time. By time I drove home and hour ago, the first glob on the below cold core low storm was finally washing the Carrizo Plain dusts off my car. Tomorrow hopefully will have some fun driving through familiar local residential storm puddles in order to wash some of it off underneath.

Busy Monday morning. Last night my cheap year or two old Hamilton Beach microwave oven per above, finally rusted through its bottom that then is a fire hazard. The second straight cheap oven that has rusted so from Walmart in less than a couple years. Began rusting within a couple months new. I sand papered off the rust but did not reapply special paint because I read it would likely still continue to rust all over as it indeed did, as these products are purposely designed so due to usual corporate bean counters that for market share reason force their design teams to create such low end appliances that just have to survive their warranty periods.

In this era, they also cut corners in mid level models as though such is ok. So just spending a bit more is no guaranty.

So just bought for $80 from Home Depot an on sale $100 Vissani product.

After rising today given a low breeze forecast I need for focus stacking images, drove 3 miles to our San Jose Municipal Rose Garden where the rose bloom this year for whatever reason, is 3 week earlier than normal. With patience, managed to work about a half dozen subjects before the breeze became unmanageable. Will be going back on any upcoming calmer mornings. I much enjoy hunting for aesthetic roses in that large city garden.

Then added $40 of gas at $5.49/gallon cash. Drove to Walmart NM for $43 worth of groceries. After unloading that bought the microwave oven that is a 1.1 cu/ft 1000 watt model with an 11 inch glass plate. Home Depot is just 3 blocks from my residence. Back home, tested the oven heating a bit of water but after completing, the door would not open? So opened the manual and found it has a child proof safety lock function. Unfortunately going through a couple unlock processes still didn't unlock the door?

The power cord connected into an outlet behind my refrigerator that was a pain to get at so pulled that out and was able to open the door. Then programmed the lock function to be permanently disabled and seems ok. Mic's some vegetable soup for lunch just fine.
