Busy Setting Up House

Hi there,

I have not been here much, lately.

My apologies if I am sparse in comments in blogland.

I have not only been processing some things internally,

but trying to get my new apartment

to a functional, usable and more beautiful state

has taken a while.

Not that I am finished yet.

But here are some things I did do...

Lots of Laundry.

Happy to report that my new laundry room is quite lovely.

I put up this shelf in my

no-storage-what-so-ever bathroom.

Took buying two brackets (uneven walls)

and I lost a drill bit in the wall.

(It is still there).

But the shelf is up and my lovely things on it.

I have my Icons up now.

Well, most of them.

Have some paper one I need to frame (still).

And am getting some new-to-me Icons tomorrow.

***

Today (old calendar) was

St. Nicholas Day!

I was in church at morning liturgy and vespers tonight.

My job for tomorrow's celebration

for today's St. Nicholas feast,

is baking three chocolate vegan cakes.

They are now ready to go.

***

I fly home Lord Willing this Monday morning.

Prayers requested for travel.

We must be vigilant in this Christmas Season.

It is so easy to get out of sorts,

especially as we are all part of various families

and things that are hard

often come up.

May the Lord protect and bless us in the rest of the

Nativity Fast and the Feast to come!
