I don't really have a new plan--except maybe start trying to catch her earlier and pretend to do a little work beforehand. I think my fail point last time was putting the carrier out for her to see and then trying to catch her the next morning. The carrier has been sitting out for a couple of days now.

I can't stand the crowds (or the traffic) either and on a day like today, I imagine the Mall is a complete zoo.

Hope you enjoy your day as well!
