mei-mei wins it all

i made falafels yesterday with my new falafel tool. but i was disappointed in them. 1. they were thicker than i wanted. i wanted them to be like the kind i always see hunny bunny eating. 2. is the worst mistake. i put in too much BAKING SODA.  even drowned in a yummy tahini sauce, there was an after taste of yuck. i didn't even want to eat them today. but i did.  but that's the last time. no way. no how. not again.

i'll know better for next time.  IF there is a next time.

on my walk this morning i saw a grey squirrel and a black squirrel playing. i left a walnut under their tree for them in the name of alhelaal, who wasn't there to see it.

i did the dishes.

sarah and boys came for a visit. sloan believes he could fix sahib's transition. we went out and took a look. sahib still starts. i was pleased. sloan said he could get the part for 4 hun. these are all the words of sloan. what actions may occur... remains to be seen

sarah brought me and mom new hair products and fixed biff's bangs. she did good deeds.

after they left i drove mom's equipment back to red cross. they gave us laura clarke's equipment (not me) instead of jean clarke's. at first they wanted us to bring back everything and exchange it. but that's just silly since 3 of the things are identical. bring them back and take them again? no. i'm not doing that. i got mom to negotiate which she did. finally the agreement was to take back the unused stuff and the paper work and a deal is a deal. so that's what i did today.

i was talking  to mohammad on the way there. when we arrived i said, don't hang up, i'm just going to be a minute. when i came back to the car he had hung up. then we had a time connecting again. when we finally did i said "i told you not to hang up!" he paused and said "i'm a bad man." which made us both laugh.

mom wanted me to look at thrift stores for a planter for her heather, so although i whined in response that i wanted to spend time in the garden today! and she said no problem it doesn't have to be today, i stopped at the thrift store on the way home. i didn't find a planter the right size for her heather but i did find a nice cat tree for 30 bucks and a small wardrobe for 75 bucks and i bought them both.

then i charged my phone and lolled a bit. i didn't get to the garden until after 4:30 and i felt bad and frustrated about it because i had big dreams and big plans for a free sunny day.  but i felt like i wasted it. frittered it away. but i did get some time. but i didn't plant the peas or lettuce. i just snipped dead things and cut plastic jugs and pulled out sprouting maple trees which are sprouting up everywhere.

that's all. my hubs is going to visit his mom. it's eid. celebration time. he got new jeans. he got sesame cookies. he had tea/coffee and cookies with his bestie. i'm happy for him. i hope he has the best time with family. his mom's place has no internet so i may not have  contact unless if he's at his sister's house.
