This morning we walked to the co-op. I was dragging ass. But it was okay. Then we went to the Occupy National Gathering opening ceremony. We saw friends, and I got hugs. It was fun. Then we went to Ethiopian food for lunch. The lentils and the yellow split peas are my favorite. The flavors… Read More »
This morning we delivered the bag lunches. I’m curious about how the sandwiches tasted. I had a secret fantasy that they would say, “We have two bags too many,” and give me and Ming lunches, and then we could know. This afternoon I had a dentist appointment. I was amazed at how long it took. … Read More »
Tonight we were at our friend D’s house helping assemble lunches for tomorrow’s anti-racism training for the Occupy national gathering. They are tofu sandwiches. So we sliced loaves of bread, washed fruit, and stuff like that. It was fun, but I concentrated too hard. I’m tired now. I came away from our lunch assembly party… Read More »
Guest Blogger: “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail” was a great book.I finished it and loved the backpacking descriptions. I have been sleepy today. Had ramen for dinner. Opps here she comes.
Yesterday we went to Coffee Garden with my learner to help him apply for a job. He had to do this questionnaire about his attitude and how successful he is on the job. It was terrible. It took an hour and a half. It was complete and utter bullshit, the kind of questionnaire where you’re… Read More »
Yesterday we went to Berkeley. I made some photocopies and we ate delicious Indian-Pakistani food. We saw Ming’s mom, and we went to Long Haul infoshop where we ran into a friend. We took him to coffee, and it was fun. I dropped off a big bag of zines for Long Haul’s zine library. This… Read More »
Yesterday we had writers group at Coffee Garden. It was so pleasant there I didn’t want to leave. I wrote two poems I liked. It was kind of hot, on the back patio, but there was a breeze. I baked cookies, some of my favorite cookies to bake: chewy chocolate raspberry cookies, which are vegan. … Read More »
Finished Wild this morning. In the super simple, too simple way of evaluating things, I give it four stars out of five. It was the first book I finished in a long time. It was an emotional journey, that’s for sure. It gave me some backpacking insight, more than I already had as the ex-wife… Read More »
We picked up some quinoa rice pasta, little round ones, at Berkeley Bowl last week. And I made pasta salad this evening. It’s good though I would like regular wheat pasta better. I made garlic lover’s pasta with peas and fresh garlic and everything. Last night I was up so late, and we slept in… Read More »
Last night I went to a play. It was South Pacific. I’m still feeling out how I feel about it. Some things about it confused me, stuff about power. My therapist was my ride, which I think is weird. The free tickets were through the women’s center where she therapies me. I like her very… Read More »
