The Pink Moon, slightly past full.

The world seems like it’s turning upside down, but I’m wearing Mary Janes & polka dotted socks so you can’t tell me nothin’.

Pretty!
No explanation required.

There wasn’t another photo for today, so you get my giant green linen tunic THAT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS POCKETS BUT IT DOES NOT. A travesty.

I was feeling greedy & had TWO (small) bowls of soup at our Maundy Thursday meal. (I also posted a very salty commentary on RFJ Jr. & autism - in a sea of mostly terrible things that just seemed extra cruel - and also eugenics much? Grrr.)

Work. Unravel the work. Work. Not at all an analogy for anything in particular.

Tomorrow is Easter and I have to be at church at 7:15 so that the choir can practice our anthem before the 8 am service. I’m taking Dr. M’s French Toast Casserole for the brunch afterward. He was going to supervise me (I’ve never made it before), but I was a Sneaky McSneakerson & assembled everything before he woke up this morning. Now it’s stewing in its own juices until I get up at Oh Dark Thirty to cook it. Let’s see, it takes an hour to bake, and I have to leave at 6:45. Factoring in preheating time, I think I’ll set my alarm for 5 am. It’s fine. Really.
I posted this on the socials: I’m as guilty of buying fast fashion as the next person, but these are actual cloths that I use.
Finally, my boss is selling press on nails. I wouldn’t normally partake, but I thought I could help her out - especially since these aren’t supposed to harm your nails like some others do. So far I’m a fan - they’re not too long (and could easily be trimmed), and the color doesn’t chip. Note: these feet have obviously not seen the light of day since fall. Ha!
I’ve been spending a lot of time feeling hopeful and despairing about our nation. And last night I dreamed that I was at Mar a Largo and pilfered some jewelry & spent the rest of the dream terrified that I was going to be deported. I woke up & then after I fell back asleep I dreamed I made subversive cookies. All righty then! What does your mental health look like?
I stood in front of the candy counter and contemplated: Hershey's candy-coated chocolate eggs, or Cadbury, which I've never had. I went with Hershey's, but now I have a source of information. Do you think Cadbury's are better? Actually, the thought of French toast casserole wiped every thought of chocolate from my mind. That sounds delicious. There's a local cafe (well, in Galveston) that serves up bread pudding French toast. That's pretty darned good, too -- especially with whipped cream and fresh berries.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
I think I like Cadbury's better, but you know what would make me sure? A taste test!
DeleteP.S. I finally remembered to check out the video you shared last time - I love it! Especially the faces in the food :)
You look great in that first photo but I have to tell you that you look like you're wearing a tent in that green tunic. But you have easter egg toenails! My mental health? I'm currently not immersing myself in all the horribleness (though I read enough to know what's going on mostly) and how long it will take to undo all the horribleness once he is gone but I've also read a few pieces lately that seem hopeful, that perhaps the tide is beginning to turn against MAGAtism and Trump and Musk, more than just the courts.
ReplyDeleteYes! I almost feel like we might make it out alive - in shambles & with everything being terrible, but alive. We'll see!
DeleteP.S. I agree about the tunic. That might be its last outing. Ha!
I had no idea that press-on toenails even existed, so you've educated me!
ReplyDeleteOur dishtowels look like that too. And I imagine there must be people out there freaking out over the rainbow eggs: "It's the gay agenda! They're taking over Easter!" (And more power to us, I say.)
I try to stay informed while not immersing myself in too much news, and what I do get I read, rather than watch on TV. That helps keep it at a bit of a distance emotionally, I think. Having said that, the Kilmar Abrego Garcia story is appalling and I hope the Supreme Court ultimately sticks up for him and his constitutional rights as an American resident married to an American citizen with American children.
I picked those eggs on purpose - and was actually impressed that they had them at Walgreens because I'll be people DO get bent out of shape about them.
DeleteYes - that Garcia story is so scary not just because of him individually, but what it means for all of us. And if T doesn't back down, and if congress doesn't get a backbone, I'm not even sure it matters what the Supreme Court does.
Fortunately for my mental health, I don't watch much news on t.v.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
DeletePress on nails for your feet? Yikes. I'll pass.
ReplyDeleteAnd all I know is that dear Pope Francis died after talking to the US vice president. That says it all for me. Talk about a sign!
Yep - his death does seem to be sending us a CLEAR MESSAGE!
