Weekend

Happy Weekend!

Tucson bus strike continues- I've lost count of days, but it's close to three weeks.  It's said to be the longest bus strike in recent history.  I remain grateful for a three mile away job and a bicycle that works pretty darn well!

I am not following the news much, so I'm not sure why Donald Trump is running for President.  I look at my Abraham Lincoln poster... and well, I can't imagine ever hanging up Donald Trump. 

I spent much of today resting.  I've been going through various things in my personal life, and it feels so good to rest, read, putter, and clean.  I made a delicious sun tea today with sugar and honey, a refreshing mango salad with peppers, red onion, black beans and a mango dressing mixed with some Italian dressing.  I also baked sea salt chocolate chip cookies and spent two hours doing laundry. 

My day started by a walk across the way to Circle K.  I was almost run over by a car, and instinctively I put my hand up to say slow down.  I confess I wasn't in the passenger walk but close enough.  I kept walking but the car slowed down and the couple started screaming at me, "Bitch, stay in the crosswalk.  Bitch, what are you looking at? Bitch, stop looking at me."  Just another day in a beautiful, friendly neighborhood.  Oh, well.  I don't take it personally.  I suspect they have some anger issues of their own. 

I was at peace today, curled up with my memoir by Beth Howard, my Bible and journal, and a little book called The Angels' Little Instruction Book.  Life is short, so very short, and I'm grateful for what is right now.
