Good Thing Friday (75)

July 24, 2020

If you’d like to join me in helping Lakota families and/or rural libraries this year, please read this post. Over 6 weeks in 2019, we raised $2669.94 for the Lakota families, touching 27 lives. What can we do in 2020?

Current total: Lakota, $1608.94; Rural libraries, $321.62.


1. JB asked for chicken noodle soup at the perfect time. I had a half carton of chicken broth to use up and I used that for a starter base plus water, onions, salt, pepper, and a dash of cumin and garam masala. Odd but it worked!

2. I made a Thai (ish) chicken curry on Sunday and it was a hit! It was chock full of goodies: tofu, straw mushrooms, chicken, bamboo shoots, and bell peppers. My hand still hurt too much to cut up an onion this time but it still turned out well.

3. This was such a lovely note to wake up to one morning.

4. Sir Patrick Stewart with Sonnet 91.

Challenges this week: My pain flared up again, this time in alternating wrists and hands and arms. I worked through it during the week which was alternatively good and then bad for it but then made it a real point to rest on the weekends and maybe most importantly, not feel guilty and horrible about my body’s failings. We should be at SDCC right now and I’m feeling so sad we’re not.

5. After lots and lots and lots and lots of medication, and an equal amount of passive resistance on his part and grumpy insistence on my part, Seamus is better!!!

Happy penguin dancing
