Monday, or Something Like That

I've been thinking all day that it was Thursday or something.  With my usual activities put on hold, I'm lost and confused.

I did a little wood work today.  Barb's friend, Barb II, wanted a wooden presser foot for quilting seam work.  I cut a chunk from a local tree trimming project from across the street and turned it down.  I'm applying a number of coats of sealant and then I'll polish and wax it.  Nothing special, but might be useful.   Always good to make tools.

We had another nice dinner.  We had some cooked pulled pork and heated that up with some sauted onion, tossed in the mushrooms from yesterday and did some Mexican style eats.  We had a sliced avocado and some salsa and cheese.  It came together quite well. 

I opened another bottle of wine.  I seem to be going through them quickly.  A French Merlot also from 2009.  I didn't think it was very smooth, but Barb liked it.  It was certainly drinkable!

Cool today and I really didn't get outside other than to bring in the trash bins.  It's still cool and windy.  The rain came last night, so the forecast wasn't totally incorrect.  Not sure when we will see sun again. 

That's all I have to contribute.  There is an attempt to pass some economic aid for the country, but Pelosi thought it needed some progressive clauses and special projects, so it hasn't passed.  It would be nice if She and others would not see every emergency as an opportunity to push their pet projects and be a bit more supportive of legislation that is neutral in flavor.  What the hell, there are a lot of folks out of work at this point and $1000 might be very useful to them.  Color me naive and idealist I guess.
