Today I am thankful that the package of deep fried tofu that I purchased at the store today was only $2 because it tasted terrible. Absolutely terrible. I love agedashi tofu from the Japanese restaurant and this was nowhere close. I think my dirty sponge has the same texture and probably would have more flavour. And I am thankful that the kidlet and the paramedic were not home because I am pretty sure that I would never have heard the end of it... and that they would have opted for moldy buns.
I am also going to backtrack a week or so to give thanks... by some miracle of miracles my conservative little town ousted the provincial Liberal party in my riding and voted in NDP in our by-election. This leads me to believe that anything is possible... and makes me worry significantly less about the "new" BC Education Act and how my professional organization went from being the BC College of Teachers to being the Teacher Regulation Branch... I believe Dolores Umbridge is in charge... at least until the next election.
I am also grateful today that the paramedic yelled at the dog as he bolted out the door... makes me feel better to know that even he - the most patient person I have ever met - has a limit to how much "specialness" he can take. Their love affair might be ending...
