“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for a utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is in itself a marvelous victory.” -- Howard Zinn
What i bought in the bulk candy section when i forgot to have my healthy afternoon snack before going to the grocery:
* licorice all-sorts
* Jordan almonds
* (butter-ish) mint nonpareils (pastel kiss shapes)
* maple nut clusters
When i came home, i poured my pomegranate juice into my teapot, added powdered ginger, clove, and allspice, then an equal amount of hot water. Shortly after taking a few gulps of this tonic, i felt socked in the sinuses. I note that in the eighty some allergy tests, artificial maple, allspice, licorice and pomegranate were not included. (Ginger and cloves were.)
Things i did this morning between meetings
* personal correspondence via LJ
* wrote freecycle to figure out why my two freecycle posts are still waiting for the mod
* announced to the lgbtq website folks that there was a subscription script problem that i'd fix eventually and *promptly* got a fix from the original author
Late afternoon included a nearly thirty minute call with my mother, where we commiserated on both our continued respiratory malaise. After reading a ticket response from someone who did not complete work i swear he said he'd completed, i went and started an "Mexican" casserole. We had an aging jar of commercial spinach cheese dip that went into it, as well as mashed and chili-spiced chickpeas, canned mushrooms, and black beans with ladles of canned enchilada sauce, layers of corn tortillas, and sprinkles of shredded "Mexican" cheese mix. Surely nothing authentic or gourmet about it, but it should be edible.
