walkitoutThe loaf of bread from last week was kinda hard, so I made bread pudding with it. Yum.
I walked with M. at 2 pm.
I made another loaf of bread, and a roll.
R. and I had a steak for dinner. T. had a burger. We all had fries. I had coleslaw with the purple napa cabbage from Siena Farms. It was pretty, and also very tasty.
A. ate crackers and drank juice and missed her half day of school because I took her temperature after she came down for breakfast and was crying because she felt like crap and it was 100 degrees (ok, 99.9, but later in the day it was 100.4, so I’m just going to average here). She went back to bed and later she was well enough to read.
I did 2 one mile loops by myself and not on the phone. I wasn’t even listening to music.
T. went to Concord and took himself to Concord Teacakes for a treat and to Blue for a $200 pair of jeans. The jeans are very, very pretty. Super dark denim, very soft, from Japan. I commented that his grandfather really liked nice clothes, too, and that was fine, but then he started asking me about all other relatives and how they felt / thought about nice clothes and I more or less lost my shit and explained in some detail why those were unreasonable questions and that in general asking me detailed questions like that about my deep past and relatives resulted in me thinking really hard to try to figure out what I might or might know that would generate a good answer about things long ago from a very bad time in my life. Not good. Also, pointless. If he wants family stories, that’s a terrible way to go about it. I think we all learned a lot from this experience, and I thought about it a bunch while I was walking. I _do_ definitely want to convey to my children the lessons that _I_ learned the really hard way about how to interact with people and also, I really don’t want to be the hard way for my children. So. Tricky stuff.
I watched two episodes of The Equalizer, so I am now all caught up. I tried to program the tivos to record it going forward, but there are some huge gaps in the coming weeks and that show is in those gaps and that made it tricky.
