Soy Milk Run (and Banana Bread)

2025-10-09

Today's agenda is to get soy milk for cornbread, to go with the beans, and to get ingredients for banana bread, to use the surplus of ripe bananas that we have in the house.

11:00. Finally got up. Got dressed. Went downstairs. Brushed my hair and beard. Took my meds. Made tea and oatmeal; had the usual with pumpkin butter and walnuts.

13:18. Called Wellbeing Center for my transportation pickup time tomorrow morning. I'll be going to the Louisburg Cider Mill to drink fresh, hot apple cider, and maybe get something else, like some apple butter.

Went to Walmart. Got a big bag of walnuts, a bag of mini vegan marshmallows, a bottle of vanilla extract, two cartons of soy milk, two pouches of baby food prunes, and a cherry cola Olipop. Drank the Olipop on the way home. Before going home, we stopped at a gas station to pick up an Amazon package from an Amazon Hub.

15:35. Came back home. Put up the groceries. Booted my laptop. Started typing the daily blog entry.

17:30. Got banned from #librespeech on Libera.Chat because someone (apparently with mod privileges) was accusing Israel of genocide, and I spoke up. A lot of people on Mastodon came to support me. Mom made cornbread.

18:45. Ate a bowl of beans with two big pieces of Jiffy vegetarian cornbread. So good.

Ron Nazarov (Noisytoot) unbanned me from #librespeech after I gave a translation of my Yiddish comments.

20:30. Getting tired. Finished my last cup of tea. Watched the movie It (2017).

21:25. I learned why Emacs did not work in my Alpine BusyBox/Linux VM: The package emacs just installs dependencies for Emacs, not Emacs itself. For that, you'd want emacs-pgtk.

21:43. Went upstairs to bed.
