2/23/2010

How different our lives are than those who signed 2/23/1910, I of course wasn't there but I do remember the history stories.
Breakfast of miso soup and brown rice-yum how wonderful and filling. Increasingly moving away from meat and milk and eggs and cheese and moving towards grains and rice and vegetables and fruits. Miso is wonderful-warm and soothing and nourishing.
Added up B's cigarette cost-minimum of $350 a month!! Can't imagine her quitting when with the dementia she can't remember what she is doing from one five minutes to the other.
She contributes $500 a month toward the household but most of that is used to finance the cigarette thing. The addiction to tobacco is a significant factor in our monthly budget.
AND I thank god/goddess/goodness that I quit years ago.
El Cerrito farmer's Market today!! looking forward to the wonderful porduce at reasonable prices although not the cheap prices of earlier times still the prices are so MUCH better than Safeway/Luckys/Andronicos,etc.
