**Sunset over Laurel Lakes** It's day 11 (I believe) and trying to understand what our leaders are doing in the name of democracy. I am now thinking beyond myself - how the furlough is affecting us all. like everyone has pointed out - we have bills to pay etc, most importantly, we have work to do. I am part of the financial team in my agency and as you all know worked to the 9th hour to expend FY13 funds.

We have a cafeteria in my building, I am thinking of all the food that was ordered before the shut down (no matter how small the quantity) - these I assume will have to be tossed. I assume the cafeteria gets weekly supply from a company or companies - these will be on hold - someone is not getting paid. The cafeteria workers, the janitorial staffs and other contractors, how are they coping?

I have been walking a lot and this picture was taking around the Laurel Lakes in Laurel - beautiful sunset.

Today, I am going to volunteer at an assisted living facility. Keeping myself and mind occupied!
