Today we went to McKinley Park so Erik could run. I walked and didn’t have any trouble with my left calf cramping. It seems random. Then I worked on a letters and listened to They Might Be Giants kids’ music. Tomorrow my friend A is coming to town. I’ll get to see her in the… Read More »
I got some eggplants and lemons at the dollar store, so I can make baba ganoush, which pleases me. This morning I read some of I Can’t Keep My Own Secrets, a book of six-word memoirs by teenagers. I read most of the one by adults and liked it a lot. It’s sort of like… Read More »
I made vegan oatmeal cookies that turned out very flat and big. They had a good flavor, but their shape wasn’t right. It was a recipe for a mini-batch that I doubled, so it was enough cookies for one large cookie sheet. But they got so big and flat when they cooked that they covered… Read More »
Hope I’m not sick. SAT scoring ends tomorrow. I’m just about at the end of my rope. “When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.” But then when I’m done I’ll have a ton of transcribing to do.

Meanwhile, I’m making great progress in the hemp department–I’m skilled at the square knot chain, and I even figured out how to get the cowrie… Read More »

My mom gave me some kits for making hemp bracelets and necklaces, two of them, years ago. And the other day my friend H gave me a shitload of hemp twine. So I decided to try to figure out how to make a thing called a square knot chain. I’ve got a helpful diagram. So… Read More »
Today at Trader Joe’s I got some beautiful little organic tomatoes. I like the orange ones best. Tonight we watched Napoleon Dynamite. I thought it was really well done and sometimes funny, but the uncle kind of ruined it. Next I want to get Nacho Libre out from the library. I guess it’s made by… Read More »
Today I had a doctor’s appointment. I was nervous for about 24 hours before the appointment and am still not feeling well. I’ve been nauseated. Maybe I’m not eating appropriately. I need more veggies and less heaviness. So I got the prescription I needed. We’re nearing the end of SAT scoring. Sunday’s supposed to be… Read More »
