Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for March 24, 2025

I am trying to think of the circumstances where a person ‘deserves’ new clothing. Needs or wants ok, but deserves? But it is Cathy after all.

It was a fun week. Our annual variety show went well although attendance was down from last year. I kind of thought it would be as the show was not held on a government pay week (the last week of the month). It is quite amazing in a small town that has a large senior population how much of a difference it makes. Plus we only advertised for a week and a half instead of a month (definitely not my decision). However the audience we got did enjoy the show which is the important part. Also, we did not lose money which is rather important as the profits we have made over the past 53 years are invested so we can continue to offer two scholarships to students entering their post-secondary education in the performing or fine arts.

Of course, today I am rather stiff, sore, and tired. My Fitbit said I walked an average of 12,000 steps per day (which is about 8km for me) and all of that up and down stairs. I call it the Kabaret weight loss program – I did lose 4 lbs which is a good thing.

I hope everyone is having a fun Monday. I think it might be nap time now.
