Routine in the making

Written last night:

Dear Friends,

Nothing happened today. I am getting a routine — well, not really, but trying out things that might or might not become routine. Today, errands (CVS pharmacist wears a hijab and she has the sunniest disposition. I wrongly thought women in such clothing to be reticent), put together a new sweeper (Thanks for the advice, Rachel! Aside from the directions having no words at all, it’s great!), started a new drawing class at the Crocker Museum, and did prep work for a leek quiche for tomorrow evening. I’m hosting a potluck for friends from the building. Oh, and I didn’t draw my apple right — the top should be flatter, said Faith, my friend the artist.  And the crust for the quiche looks homemade — irregular — but the leeks sautéed sweetly. Tomorrow I’ll put them on the crust with cheese and eggs and cream. No one will care that the crust is imperfect. 

Love,
k
