Last day in-office for the week.

My parking deck is across from my building, and my shoes are soaked through. So I'll be working barefoot while hoping that the paper towels I stuffed in them dries them out before quitting time.

>All of the other malls are basically defunct.

Uh, Chesterfield Towne center is always packed on the weekends..

may have to check it out for sure, he was meowing and crying all night 😭 I tried to turn on rain sounds to drown him out but didn’t work well. (Figured that would be gentle enough not to upset him more)

he’s actually quiet now and I went and looked under the house to see if there was another kitten or mom he was meowing to, but no sign of anybody else under or around the house

Usually they say that when the next of kin hasn't been notified yet. They know who he is.

Gotta start somewhere.

Be careful, Special Deluxe Pizzas are responsible for 85% of attacks and 99.9% of fatalities. I learned this absolutely true information from pizzasbite.org

The loss the human had, is the gain of the local trash pandas and opossums. May the sacrifice appease our local trash gods.

When there was construction people would follow the river, turning just west of willow oaks and driving through there to either Huguenot or back over to forest hill.

People already fly through cherokee, and it has that lil side road connecting it to hathaway.

Idle hands only makes one gf pastry per day, their scone. They sell out most days, so prepare yourself for them not having it.

Between that, the Jurassic Park Jeep, and the person on this sub that drives the Pikachu Beetle, we got movie vehicles covered in this town.

I have to go into the office for a thing and I don't wanna go.

It’s not the gore, it’s the suffering of boys being sent to the trenches to die or if they didn’t die, emerge with PTSD (not that there was such a diagnosis). And for what? The amusement of powerful men.

Day 4 of being sick. I’m pretty over it at this point.

I'm jealous. I need a trip to Ikea for that frozen yogurt and feeling of comfort like everything will be clean and coordinated.

It's a different style from the classic indoor mall. It's a faux downtown for the suburbs. Suburbanites seem to enjoy having their own walkable area with lots of shops.

Useless tidbit: rise and grind is a term for the ending steps of a basic Irish jig.

Currently waiting for it to be time for my doctors appointment. I finished my final paper roughly two weeks early because it was stressing me out considering the amount of other school work I had and then my job. If I can get through the next 12 days I'll soon be drunk on a beach in Mexico for fest with friends. So close!

I'm probably not going to stay dry as I'm going to buy myself lunch as a treat and I do have to work later.

Finally feeling well enough to go back to work, although I'm going to wear a mask for the rest of this week to be considerate of coworkers

Short Pump kinda is the mall in a lot of suburban RVA minds. Also its got some good restaurants and its pretty. Good for dates and Younger people hanging out.

Actually funny story, in Missouri they have mall cops kick out teenagers after 4pm, and if thats not a reason malls are dying then IDK what is

That should count as approximately cooked by then, right?

You probably already know this, but that feliway plug in works wonders with calming kitties as you start introducing them to each other. Pricey but worth it.

It's kind of like Pokemon Go but with real objects. Give it a try sometime. It's pretty fun.

Valid points… Except for those of us who avoid it specifically because of the traffic - and I don’t think many people are walking along Broad Street there (ie, no foot traffic)

As a former delivery driver who has delivered in the area parking isn’t a thing. Never felt great blocking the street but I can promise you there aren’t many other options. Luckily for you all who are somehow just going to get a coffee at 2 o’clock on a weekday there is always another way to get to where you’re going. Even if it adds 1 minute to your to your 3 minute commute.
