I don't' know why but it feels like a Saturday.
I have finally sat down but what I have been doing since this morning I cannot tell you. I think I over watered my Jade so I replanted it and tried to stake it up but I am not going to hold my breath. Drat! I have had that Jade for about 5 years and it was thriving. What else? I committed the ultimate sin and used oven cleaner on the outside of my Staub Dutch oven. It was my mom's and it was getting grimy and stained. I used as much elbow grease as I could muster and it didn't touch it. The over cleaner worked like a charm. I soaked it in a sink of water after to ensure that all the oven cleaner was off. It is shiny and almost stain free now. I must have done other things because it is now 1:45 and I got up at 9:00 ish. Oh! I had my Zoom group for women who have lived with domestic violence.The topic today was how does trauma affect laughter, humour, and joy.
I think I have now seen enough Olympics for four years. I absolutely loved this Olympics. When I was growing up athletes would throw temper tantrums or were completely stoic They were all so serious. It was the time of, "Never, Never, (was there another Never?) Stop and, No Pain, No Gain. Athletes rarely interacted with athletes from different nations. What I am seeing now is a generation of adults that do not take themselves so seriously, they cheer on, hug, and encourage athletes from different countries. They seem to be more self-aware, kind, sensitive, and definitely are having more fun. I know people shit on the Millennials but I have great hope for them.
My next cataract surgery is on Wednesday. woot! Can't wait. I can see out of my left eye better then I have ever in my life. The opthomologist told me would but I didn't believe him. Science and Technology may be moving faster than a ran away train and can be scary but there are very good things happening.
Yesterday I made the best chicken vegetable soup from leftovers. I wish I knew what I put in it now because it was delicious and I know I never will be able to recreate it. I have also had soups that were so bad that and had to be thrown out. Have you ever made a soup like that? You keep adding things to see if you can improve it but it just keeps getting worse and then you feel guilty for wasting an entire soup because its inedible.
Going to see Dead Pool and Wolverine tomorrow. I think I am the only adult female my age that likes Marvel. It is what my son and I do together. We love Marvel.
Alright. I want a nap but it is too late in the day so I need to go find something to do or I will just keep getting more and more tired. Happy Friday!
