Another Little Day at Home

 

My day started with sourdough toast (homemade), jam, and coffee.  Not a big meal, but a nice way to start things out.

I took a couple of extra minutes to get lemons out of their netted bag, tomatoes out of their plastic container, and set everything up on the island in a pleasing way.  It's amazing how getting rid of packaging helps make your kitchen look brighter.  This was a utilitarian arrangement -- not heavy on style at all. But definitely an improvement.

I decided to mix my new necklace in with my casual sterling silver.  My sole outing was to give Frankie an afternoon walk. We did visit with neighbors briefly.  While my gold necklace really was a splurge, the rest of what I wore was inexpensive -- and I am happy with how it all coordinates. I have a clasp adapter that lets me put on three different chains, spaces them out, and keeps them from getting tangled.

I finished my sign for tomorrow's protest. Tommy's car is still in for repair, but we expect it to be fixed tomorrow.  My plan is to take the bus downtown, as the Elmwood #20 route has a stop at the end of my block, and drops me one block away from the Delaware North headquarters, where the Buffalo event is taking place.  I don't have much of a gripe with DN -- although they've donated plenty to the Orange idiot, they have also given to both parties.  The theme is about billionaires and workers. My gripe is that the rich, like DJT, have time to golf, travel, take trips on commercial "space" flights -- while most Americans are working hard, earning low wages, and they are the ones that keep this Country going. The wealthy do not deserve tax breaks.  They aren't losing jobs and services.  They should be more empathetic for the workers that make their riches possible. After this, I hope big business and billionaires think better than donating and feeding money through shady tools like crypto to the criminal running our country.  Are there any events near you tomorrow?

I made risotto for dinner -- shrimp, peas, and lupini beans. The flatbread is actually pizza dough. It was $1.24 on Flashfood, and tasted better than bakery bread because it was fresh out of the oven.  The stock I used was from scratch. It was a healthy meal!

The last few days have been kind of boring -- which I have really enjoyed! Do you enjoy staying at home more than getting out and around?
