So we made with the churchy ballads at Tom and Peggy’s last night, and it was wonderful fun. Paul and Keith had come over earlier to have a low key birthday celebration for Paul; we watched The Bucket List and I made tortillas. Then I made pork fried rice for Jeff so he’d have some dinner, and I made lentil soup to take to the hymn sing. Keith came along too… I nearly lost my eyes when I saw him eating lentil soup. He really is pushing the envelope on food these days, which makes me extremely happy.
Katie is here, boiling up eggs and making a healthy lunch.
It’s bizarre to be watching the Civil War documentary at the same time as following the American election. I feel like a whole bunch of people need to be reminded that it was a Republican president who issued the Emancipation proclamation. Democrats are talking about Republicans as if they are brain dead traitors, and Republicans are talking about black people as if the Civil War had never happened. It’s disgusting. It has nothing to do with the glory of the Constitution. Oh my neighbours, a house divided… will you never learn?
I am really glad I’m Canadian, and I learned how to seethe gently without taking up arms.
I did all my laundry this weekend, and put it all away, and cleaned my room. It’s completely changed the acoustics in there.
