Once again I'm having difficulty remembering what I did this week. I know I finished a few cat beds, met with the Cranky Women on Friday, went out for an expensive dinner with Jebra Saturday evening (delicious Ukrainian cuisine that I'm still feeling conflicted about. I enjoyed being a restaurant with him and the food was wonderful, and I'm also feeling guilty that our money went into our tummies rather than to charity supporting the Ukraine.

Sunday morning started with the Stitch & Bitch social on Google Meet. I had to cut the meeting short as we had to leave for the Birmingham Concert Band concert. I enjoyed the concert and, shockingly, I actually liked all of the pieces they played. I particularly enjoyed the piece In C (Terry Riley/trans. Patrick Jensen). I'm told performances of it can literally last days. This one was long but not that long. After the concert we went grocery shopping.

Monday Jebra had band practice with the Farmington Community Band and I finished a cat bed I had not intended to finish as I wasn't paying enough attention when I selected what to watch while crocheting and accidentally started a two-hour show.

Last night was an in-person Guild Meeting and the first one we've had without the requirement to stay masked. We had a wonderful guest speaker, Willie Smith of WillieNillieKnits. He's working on releasing his second pattern and I'm eager to grab a copy. And if you have a change to see him, Go!. He's funny and has the most infectious positive energy I've ever encountered.

I wouldn't feel bad about going out for a Ukrainian meal. In some ways that does support Ukraine or Ukrainians. My guess is that if you're in a Ukrainian restaurant there are Ukrainian employees and or owners. It also helps the economy and food workers. It's not a bad thing. I'd really like to find a Ukrainian restaurant. I've seen on the news that the Russian restaurants are having a lot of problems, but a lot of them are Ukrainian owned. I still need to order some candles. There's a mail Ukrainian candle company in either Minnesota or Wisconsin that is selling blue and yellow candles. They're like 3 or 4 months behind. They make them by hand. I keep seeing them on the news. You might consider switching or adding a charity to your Amazon Smile Account. That way every time you order something it will go to a charity that supports Ukraine. I switched to World Central Kitchen. They're on the gourd in Ukraine. Doctors Without Boarders as well. I heard that Red Cross is as well, but I don't know which Red Cross. I'm sure you can research some more. I ache about Ukraine too. I've been amazed by the veterans who have picked-up, gone to Ukraine and volunteered on the ground. I saw a woman who'd been in the US military as a nurse and she took her skills over there. I know it sounds like a terrible thing, but I just wish that someone in Putin's circle would end his evil ass like the officer during WWII the tried to end Hitler only he missed.
