We were at Shivaratri from midnight to 7. So we didn’t sleep all night. It was beautiful but I kind of started going crazy at the homa fire when we were chanting a Shiva mantra 108 times. I was on a chair and it was physically difficult to get the herbs into the fire at all 108 “svaha”s.
We met some nice people, especially a lady who saved my ass by offering me some of the milky drink when I was thirsty and needed energy. It was delicious too, and we have some in the fridge.
Then we dropped off A at home so he could tend to his dogs. I had therapy.
Then Ming had a dentist appointment. Then we went to lunch not registering that it was Valentine’s Day, but that was okay. I had baba ganoush and labneh with pita bread. It was $8 and I was glad.
Wrote a poem, took a nap. Today is peace vigil at 9 and we’re seeing our friend T for lunch at 11.
