the last few days

Feast of Transfiguration, fish curry for lunch, using more of my special dishes for meals......

I am sleeping better but waking about 6 AM.  

A lot of intense things are going on for me and others.  I am glad for my planner, lists, journals, music, and books I can reread.  

I am doing research and writing as I can.  It's hard to be human, is a thought that often passes through my mind....

May God have mercy on us all 🙏

this morning & last evening

I woke this morning to a fire alarm going off in our neighbor's apartment. It wasn't a problem thankfully.  These things happen. 

Soon I will figure out my route for New York City and start packing.  I made myself a fortifying breakfast.  I think the next thing I will do is wash dishes.  My appointment isn't till early afternoon. 

I slept better however, and that was a blessing.  Am finding using beautiful dishes to be really encouraging.  Here's last night's dinner, very simple. 

May God have mercy on us all.

A beautiful Liturgy and good bye


Our local church said goodbye to long-time friends today.  It was really beautiful.

****

This is a really busy week for me.  NYC Tuesday and Friday; Feast of Transfiguration Wednesday.

My Munchkin goes to college tomorrow!!! 

*****

We bought a simple reading lamp from Ikea that clips on to wherever you want! We basically added it to the lamp we already have.  It works perfectly. I'm so pleased! My husband has really needed more light on his book.  I have a similar one that I got years ago that I use regularly when I'm sitting on the couch! These little lamps are so handy!

I feel like life has been at such a breakneak speed wishing it would slow down.  I'm in need of rest I can tell. 

May God have mercy on us.
