1. Chocolate cake. Wish we could find Granny’s recipe. Sifting cake flour for the recipe I use makes verra nice results.
2. Sole, boiled corn on the cob and fresh steamed organic carrots for dinner.
3. Leo and Linda will be here today!
4. Paul took me for a walk in Oakalla yesterday. We heard green frogs call, and saw bush tits and flickers and a towhee.
5. Still feeling all the feels from our nice afternoon sitting on the deck with Mike.
6. Katie emailed me pics of her two latest paintings. Wow!
7. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have people get out of their cars to yell at you for giving them the wrong GPS coordinates, but that’s what Sandra has to deal with. There is something really fucked up about how GPS handles her location data; but I can assure you SHE knows where she is. She has made many fine and accurate comments about the map reading abilities of post smartphone people. At this point the swift death of the human race is the only fix.
8. The teacher’s strike is over. I dislike Christy Clark.
9. Not a single American TV network covered the climate change march even though hundreds of thousands of people attended in New York. Of course the real existential threat will probably come from another direction since fate is such a witty mofo, but even so.
10. I am thinking of putting together an Orphans’ Thanksgiving. I am putting it out there that Katie’s going to go long, but I don’t think I’ll tell her that because she’s ready for the balloon to go up ANY DAY NOW. Her tummy is itchy and the damned stretch marks. I remember feeling very put out by them, but it’s a family trait, both sides of the family….
