1. I enjoyed quite a bit of yakkin' with Debbie today, both on the phone and by text message. Much of what we talked about is just between the two of us, but I can say that these confidential discussions are productive, a good way to sort out things. I'll add that I enjoy these discussions -- we aren't add odds about anything, we are used to sorting out possibilities and options, and we've learned over our twenty-eight years together how to take things as they come and discuss them calmly.
2. This part of our conversations is not confidential: Debbie asked me to take pictures of her clothes hanging up in the basement closet and of a small collection of shoes she has upstairs on our top floor. I immediately snapped the photos and texted them to her. Debbie responded with a request that I pack up the items she selected and mail them to her in Valley Cottage, NY.
No problem.
3. I thawed out some ground beef and decided to fry it in the wok. Once it had browned, I added a can of tomato, okra, and corn and a can of chickpeas and then folded in a small pot of jasmine rice. I seasoned the ground beef simply, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
This was a very satisfying meal, and I have leftovers, so I'm not done with it yet!
