Cassandra Pierpont 1/27/2022 12:55 AMI’m sorry this image is sideways, but I have started investing time into planning out my day and preliminaries for the beginning week. It’s a lot of work but I find it super helpful especially in finding determined down time.

Cassandra Pierpont 1/14/2022 12:55 AMIt's going good. I learned you cannot put those recycled grocery bags in recycling, I just found that out. Took out 1 bag of recyclables and cardboard that I've accumulated over a week or so, dumped it, and put the bag in my car so I can take the mass of grocery bags I've accumulated from forgetting to bring my reusable bags, but I'll get a separate receptacle. Those bags have stations at most grocery stores I've seen as well. I also help a woman I don't know connect with some help regarding a landlord/section 8 situation she is facing, which is still developing, but the woman's landlord who is the owner at A&M hit her tenant on camera and I reached out to my previous professor, Richard Brinkman, who I know has held positions that have connections and is passionate about social justice, and now he is involved so I am super excited about that.
