Mild weather todsay. Perfect for a cigar in the garage.
These ginger shortbread cookies were 50% at Lunds. Dale and I loved them. They were dipped in some kind of wonderful which made them extra delicious. I get a kick how most of the world moves on from Christmas on December 26. I know, I'm willing to admit that I'M the weird one when it comes to this. However, our agrarian ancestors used January as a time of rest and reset rather than new beginnings. Technology has pulled us away from our natural rhythms and I'm aware of that bullshit more and more the older I get.
Rene Nicole Good was murdered in cold blood today just blocks from our house. I'm holding the shock, horror, anger, and disgust within me and I recognize it is making me numb. Covid, George Floyd, the Melissa Hortman murder, the Annunciation shooting, and now this are all making a home in my nervous system. It's all too much but I will not be shaken. I and those I hold dear to me will outlast the chaos of this horrible regime. I will continue to make room for small joys like cookies and cigars and huge joys like the many people I love amidst tragedy and I will continue to do everything I can to make sure people like Rene Nicole Good, George Floyd, Melissa Hortman, the children of Annunciation parish and many others will NOT have died in vain.
