7 am
Everyone
already left – K to go vote and then to work and G to the farm to make pies. So
now my lovely Tuesday begins. I am feeling kind of crappy, so I hope writing
will help, then I can actually meditate and feed buns and what not. I woke up
feeling pretty decent and then for some reason Mom’s finances came to mind and
suddenly I could feel myself get panicky. So I guess at some point today I need
to sit myself down and face those papers. And it is cold this morning, which always
makes me feel anxious. Our new housemate is not as easy about her room being
chilly as our previous one was. Now, to be fair, we are charging her more, so
she is paying $500, so it is certainly
reasonable that she would expect to not be frozen out. But that room is big and
thus kind of hard to heat. I have suggested that she keep her room door open
which will help if I have a fire going. I am also just going to have to have
the heat on more than I would prefer. And maybe tonight when K gets home and I have
a car I will go out and buy some window plastic and we can put that up.
I should
think about food which usually makes me more cheerful. Well, except that last
night was once again the fish and rice and frozen vegetables night at our house
since K cooked. I did not like it at all. And now we have a big carton of left
over rice – some weird kind that did not taste good. I think I will just serve
it to him every night for a while until it is gone. I have the casserole I made
Sunday, but I think I will have that tomorrow when I am not home all day. Today
I should make something else. Maybe a nice sweet potato soup and K can have his
rice with it, since in his mind soup is not a “meal.” That will be a good thing
to look up. And salad. My sauerkraut is doing well. I took one of the “batches”
(they are small, just a jar for each) and rinsed it since I really added too
much salt to them. I think it is still fermenting just fine. And once
fermented, it seems to work to rinse at that point, too, to get off the excess
salt. Speaking of salt, yesterday was our urine lab, and in solidarity I took
the 10 salt pills (that were so hard to come by) along with half the students. I
felt really sick at first, but I think that was just from taking the pills and
drinking all that water. After that I felt ok, but my lips were really chapped.
Not sure if it is all out of my system by now. But I am not exactly craving
salty sauerkraut. Oh, I did put the little ice-cream freezer into the freezer
and so I may also make some frozen yogurt later.
And, of
course, I must vote today. Yes, I feel guilty that in spite of all the emails I
never did anything about helping w the Warren campaign. And today it is
freezing cold and I do not want to stand around with a sign outside, or figure
out where they are making calls to remind people to vote. And I can’t even offer
a ride to anyone since I do not have a car. Well, I will go in after a bit,
once the early am rush is over and before the lunch rush begins. And maybe I can
get my friend to come out and have some tea.
I’ve been thinking longingly about that
Temenos gift certificate I have…. But when the heck could I use it??? Not this
weekend, this weekend is Mom’s big play performance that I must figure out a
way to go to. Next weekend is Hartsbrook fair. Then there is Thanksgiving,
which will also be complicated – maybe K and I will go have dinner with Mom,
then we will come home and L and G can cook their TG meal here. Then we are into December. Maybe the first
weekend of December I could go…….. gotta think about that one.
