Good morning.
The boy is home today. MLK is a school holiday.
We got some hair clippers yesterday and today I gave him a nice clipper cut. 1 inch all over his head. It looks neat and tidy and he likes it that way.
It will save him a good ten minutes every morning doing his hair. His bed head is legendary.
Unfortunately, he also has a bit of a cold so I am trying to keep him quiet and pumping juice. Commercial apple juice, but it is 100% juice. He won't try juice that I make and since I'm off sweet fruit, I don't foresee making any. Now he's having a bagel with Nutella. Not vegan. He doesn't care.
I sometimes get really sad because I know they don't want to stop using dairy products. I don't think I will ever be able to keep a vegan kitchen. Death and sadness flavor everything I eat, even if I don't actually eat the dairy and eggs.
When we were shopping yesterday, the man mentioned that dairy didn't kill cows and I set him straight. I explained the whole process of dairy: rape, pregnancy, abduction of the calves from the mother to be made veal and die young, or to become dairy cows and suffer the same fate as their mother and then be slaughtered after a life of slavery, right there in the health food section. And I didn't whisper.
I hope someone heard me and thinks about it. I hope the man heard me and thinks about it.
We also went to the feed store. We got some seeds and some starter trays. I got a bunch of herbs, oregano, basil, and some marigolds. The man got a few varieties of tomatoes. I haven't ever had my own garden and I don't think he has either. We are both very excited about growing and eating our own tomatoes and herbs. This is year one.
