It was a pretty good giving day today. Dropped the two bags of clothing off at the one thrift store. Where of course did a little shopping as well. Actually shopping at some thrift stores, like the church run ones I frequent, often supports valuable charity. Many of these places are volunteer run, the items they sell have been donated, some goes to local people need, some they sell. Often they use money for local charitable work or for support abroad. One of the places had a drop box for change for helping children in Iraq, so I dropped a couple of dollars in.

I always look around at cashiers check out areas for giving opportunities. Charities often set up donation cans and boxes for people to donate at tills while they have their wallets out and are receiving change in their hands.  Don’t like accumulating change? When you’re standing in line take some time to peer around for a charitable receptacle to deposit it in.

I gave some other things too.. but some gifts I blog about and some I don’t…

I had a lovely day with a friend I care about a great deal, and that was fun.

I bought some things for making art, some lovely frames. My friend also spotted an awesome old fashioned style vibrator and passed it over when she saw my eyes go big and sparkle with interest.

I’m exhausted, but happy.

Tomorrow night I lose my rope bottoming virginity. I have happy anticipations.
