It’s Wednesday

It doesn’t really matter what day it is because nobody knows anyway. Maybe bankers know. I don’t know. I don’t really care. I have a weird feeling that things are not going to get better for a really long time. I’m used to my mask by now and in fact I find it quite handy. I could be a bank robber, or an anesthesiologist. I go for the latter. I think there are a lot of people who would be happy to have me put them to sleep right now. I don’t think I’ve eaten any vegetables today. Normally I would know right away what I’ve eaten each day. I don’t really like fruit. We never had fruit in our house growing up. We had six shiny mackintosh apples in a straw basket on top of the red counter in the pantry. They were the only snack we were allowed after school. I hate apples.

    These resonate, Lucinda. Past and present, dream and reality, are still muddled together at the start of this year. (Hey, about apples: if Yahweh had said “Don’t eat them,” would we like them better?

    I am laughing about the apples too! Always a bowl of shiny ones in my childhood kitchen that looked better than they tasted. It was only later as a young mother fulfilling my weekly commitment as a volunteer at the Sausalito Nursery School that I learned that a ‘schmear’ of peanut butter on an apple slice was pure ambrosia!
