Weekend Open Thread

It’s time to get into shape this Caturday, and reader Sowmya D. has brought the cutest set of weights:

Exercise time! Join Nikolai Devinovich and Ekaterina Velikaya in a cat-hoisting fitness routine. Bicep curls with regular weights are so overrated!

Two cats lie on a carpeted floor next to a set of handheld exercise weights.
Did… did they just call us dumbbells?

    I was just looking for some new workout gear to get my arms in shape – these would be perfect! I love the matching poses, and so gorgeous as usual.

    One day and counting until my vacation!!!!! Still got a lot to do. Haircut today along with finishing up laundry. Last night I finally stopped futzing over what tops to bring but need to finish packing and organizing. This will probably be my last post for a while.

    Hate to bring everyone down, especially on Caturday, but there’s a serious rescue going on right now with my humane society. And with the shelter already over capacity, any and all help – financial, telling friends, etc – would be appreciated. I just can’t believe the scope of the operation. When I get back, I’ll find a way to help out, probably with fostering. My heart breaks for the animals but hopefully they’re on their way to a better situation.

    Happy Caturday! If my weights were this cute maybe I’d use them more often.

    AJ – 😲 That’s a lot of animals and I’m a little confused about what exactly was going on at this “sanctuary”…

    Not a lot going on. Have to work this weekend. Today is the last day of our fiscal year, and yesterday we had auditors doing location counts in the warehouse. I was pleasantly surprised we were able to leave at 5:30…last year we were there until 10pm! Thankfully things were in better shape this time and I was able to explain any discrepancies between the quantities in the location listing I gave them in the morning and what they actually counted when they got out there (mostly they had just picked some units for orders earlier in the day…unfortunately closing the warehouse for the day so nothing moves around is not an option).

    The dogs were good (more rescue in here!)

    Also, this creaky baby.
