I not trying to be a sanctimonious bitch. Trust me, politics is not one of my hobbies and I understand I have so much to learn. Yet, when it comes to human rights, basic decency for those who struggle, and equality, I simply cannot understand people. I truly do my best to understand where others are coming from; in my profession that’s important, but it’s also important for me to protect myself and when rude, close-minded accusations are constantly in my face, I felt it was time to close the door.
Maggie was sick today, possible strep throat, so I dropped The Boy off at high school and headed up to my school site. Shit is starting to go down: last night, I made chicken sausage and brussel sprouts for my lunch and let me tell you- I have never been a fan of brussel sprouts, but those sprouts were so damn delicious today. Tonight I made some roast pork with the sauce that still makes my mouth water. I’m thrilled to be creating by cooking again.
I was only at juvenile Hall for an hour again today. On this Tuesday, Maggie and I were headed down the hill to the doctor. Apparently the child also had a 102° fever. Her body’s fighting something. We’ll find out about strep in the morning.
Home. I cooked. And somehow I also cleaned? When I was a kid, I had to scrub the kitchen just about every day, somehow that hasn’t changed yet. I don’t see someone doing it for me when I’m old(er), either, so I really need to get on those kids.
I ate really well today, some really healthy choices…until after dinner. My plan was to eat mandarin’s. My truth is I ate some of Maggie’s Oreos. Whyyyyyy???
Pictures: I **LOVE** all this rain; Dinner tonight. It was so damn good.
