A little test to see if I can copy the HTML code from the FlickStackr app and use it to post photos with the Blogger app. It’s a little clunky, but maybe preferable to uploading photos to Blogger. This way, you can view larger sizes, if you want.
(Turns out, you cannot do that. The Blogger app doesn’t understand HTML. Alas.)
I went through a large stack of poems I’d written, spanning from 2nd grade through high school. They are terrible. Like, really, really, really awful. Some of them were written on class notes, which also contained doodles and strange, random bits of what I’m sure seemed at the time to be wisdom.
Physics class was especially boring, apparently. And alsoplustoo, I have never, ever been able to draw. Are those skaters wearing mohawks or rabbit ears?
Also from physics class. Could be an angel. Or maybe not.
I am sick with the plague. It’s 72F outside, but I made vegetable soup, anyway. I figured it couldn’t hurt. I spiked it with a healthy glug of Szechuan sauce, so it would be spicy. And tomorrow it’s supposed to snow, so it will be nice to have leftovers.
(The white stuff on top is rough chopped garlic. Under the veggies is a bed of spinach, and under that is a frozen quart of homemade veggie stock. I just tossed everything in the crock pot until it turned into soup.)
Toasted sesame Ezekiel bread slathered with butter and honey. It’s what’s for dinner.
The weather forecast called for “abundant sunshine” today. I’m not complaining about the actual weather. It’s beautiful. But those cirrus clouds do not scream “abundant sunshine” to me.
Piglet hiding under a rug. Why? Only Piglet knows.
We celebrated with many hats and also a breakfast of poached egg on toast. Piglet had to get in on the act, too, which Franny was fine with. She’s an awfully good girl. It’s hard to believe I’ve had her for a year.
So. Tomorrow is International Women’s Day. One whole Day! Just for us ladypeople! Google is, of course, celebrating with a Google doodle. And of course, some dude was interviewed about its creation. He says, and I fucking quote: “International Women’s Day is a really hard topic. How do you [summarize] what women represent in a graphic?”
Jesus wept.
Texas is celebrating by further restricting access to abortion. Why? Because they care. Mm-hm. It seems to me that if they actually gave one single solitary fuck about women’s health and safety, they would accept the fact that pregnancy is far more dangerous to women than abortion. But they don’t, so they won’t.
Why is it that the one time I get a decent shot of the dog yawning, my camera is in the wrong orientation. If I’d been shooting landscape, this wouldn’t have been so oddly cropped. Somehow, I’m sure this is all Piglet’s fault.
I just got off the phone with the vet, to schedule Franny’s annual exam. Next week will be the anniversary of me adopting her. Harriet died a few days before that, but I’d rather remember a happy occasion. It has been a loooong year, yo.
