flamingswordI want to remember some good stuff that happened before it fades
Birthday party with miracle fruit (part 2!) and snowcones
We talked about Janelle Monae's new album, Dirty Computer, her similarity to Prince's sound on some tracks apparently due to his direct input just before he died. We painted a community painting, An Acceptable Amount Of Chaos, that is blacklight reactive and quite cheerful. D- and M- and Z- all hung out with Ghost and played Beat Saber and a game where you shoot at robots that looks very engaging and kinda sweaty. Blue brought brownies, we all made snowcones even though the cats scattered at the shaved ice machine starting up. Everyone had a good time, I gave A- chocolate for his birthday, K- and D- got invited to T- and Z-'s house party, and everyone got to know each other a bit better.
The next Saturday:
Won't You Be My Neighbor
Was a fantastic look back at the work of Fred Rogers, and an inspiration to curate and manage how I am talking and communicating with people. I am going to continue putting work into that until I feel more secure that I am treating other people well and communicating gently. It is more effective that way and people deserve mercy both before and after they upset me.
Then Ghost and his brother, M-, and my sister-in-law, S-, went to a
Fancy Italian Restaurant
Where I had some of the best Gnocchi I've ever had. Half of it was Gorgonzola and Pear in cheese sauce and half was in a palate-cleansing marinara so your mouth never had to get acclimated to the dish and miss the subtle flavors of the pear.
That night I still had spoons so I fixed the
CBD Bars V.2
On Monday I went to Dr. Ketha and then
Dylan and Applebees and never eating that much meat again
Even though it was fun while I was eating it, I burped the next three days. We had fried mozzarella sticks and he had a steak and I had a gigantic burger with onion rings and bourbon sauce on it. It was excellent, but a good reason to only eat meat occasionally and sparingly, because my stomach was heavy and indigestioned for about 12 hours afterward, including not being able to sleep.
Then we talked about childhood histories of violence and nonviolence while
Driving the Snocone machine to Mom's house
So Mom has now met D- and been informed that they are now one of Bat's parents. And after the drive home (we missed the traffic, yay!) I gave D- one of the CBD bars to give to a friend, and heard back as to it's effectiveness pretty quickly. Yay.
