walkitoutI had a great phone convo with K. while doing the 1 mile loop 3 times by myself.
It was a pretty quiet day otherwise. I cooked ribs and did a dry rub ; I’ve never done that before. I’ve heated up pre-cooked and marinated / sauced / wtf ribs before, but never started from uncooked. The dry rub turned out really tasty — I didn’t put any other sauce on it. I had some rice already, so I did a fried rice for under the ribs. Yum. I finished off the cole slaw.
It was just H. and me for Friday with Friends zoom. Nice to have a quiet chat with her. She is always very insightful, and compassionate and I feel like when I am talking to just her, it’s not so much that I learned a bunch or acquired wisdom even (altho definitely those do happen). It’s more that the inside of my head readjusts in a way that feels really good to me and is lasting. She has an amazing capacity to sustain relationships with people who have reprehensible characteristics but also real value, and to maintain a clear understanding of all of that, and also recognizes when to step away. (This is probably why she puts up with me!) It’s hard to see the people we love clearly, and hard to see the good in people who are busy being really awful.
