Durga puja day

Erik and I have started training for SAT. The first scoring session of the school year starts Thursday. So we need to be trained by then. Erik is scoring CBEST starting tomorrow, so he wants to get his training done today. But I need him to bring me to the photocopy place so I can copy functionally ill #4.

Yesterday I made a tape for my friend H who lives in Texas while Erik was at the museum with his friend T. It has lots of Innocence Mission on it. It also has a good mix of other things. I couldn't find all the CDs I wanted, but I think it reflects what I wanted to make pretty well. Hope she doesn't read my blog, but if so--hi, H! Tape coming your way soon. Here's the track list.

Getting desperate for things to put in sandwiches. I sliced up some green olives today. We got Vegenaise the other day at Whole Foods (finally), so sandwiches are good again. I sauteed Erik some bell pepper and used that as sandwich filling for him. I have a reputation for disliking bell pepper, but there was some left over, so I had some too, and it was good. The bell pepper was very done and browned.

Yesterday I went to church but didn't stay for the social time afterward. But I ran into Swami, which was nice, so he knows I was there. I haven't been coming much lately, so it's helpful to have put in an appearance so people won't worry about me. Tonight there's a puja for Durga. I almost forgot.
