Must. Stay. Positive.

I was not truly risky today, if you don't count going over the Bay Bridge these days. However yesterday and today I went into the city. Yesterday to the Food Bank on the south side and today to the Jewish Library in who knows where. Hold on, let me see what neighborhood it was... Western Addition/NOPA. I guess that's North of P.P.P um, Panhandle. Really???!

Anyway, I looked online for free events now that the money is not flowing and I found a free henna workshop. It was pretty uneventful, but I paired up with the woman next to me and I did her hand while she did my left foot. A request to do something "lucky" used. She went a little crazy and I was not able to put my shoe on to head home. I did put socks on when I got home and I just looked at the cracking paste and to be honest, it's a little wimpy. I was going to take a photo, but really it's not impressive.

I also decided to last as long as possible without spending ANY money. I have plenty of food in the kitchen. I may need to get creative, but I have lots to keep me going for at least 4 days, probably a whole week. For example, I had 2 rotting bananas, so I just made a banana bread. It's in the oven and smelling yummy. I forgot to butter the loaf pan, so we'll see what trouble that is. I cannot wait to have a piece with some peanut butter on top.

This is a much longer post than I anticipated. Here's what I thought it would be:
