Lent Day 3

Took forever to fall asleep last night,

am wondering if Chess later at night wakes me in ways

that I can't 'come down' from quickly.

*

I am thinking about how to better balance things.

*

I find it hard to do when I have insomnia and am exhausted.

*

In the end, I had a long nap and had to accept the limitations on the day.

However, the book 

Short Trip to the Edge continued for me and I am waking to it's 

charm and story, I think I found a winner.

*

I am also writing a list of books that I see as books for

comfort, solace and fortitude that

I need to remember to read more often.

*

Before I that said nap,

I made roasted vegetables for lunch.

Did it my traditional way using garlic, carrots, potatoes,

golden beets and a red onion; avocado oil, oregano and rosemary.

*

I am now out of onions and am so glad I have

a grocery delivery service;

I plan on getting groceries delivered on Saturday DV.

*

I am so grateful for this!

And for this book:

I got this book years ago (2007?) after a blogger reviewed it favorably, I think it was Deb's blog,

but could not find her review of it; I can't remember if I read it for more than 1 Lent, though in my mind it remained the perfect Lenten book. I am reading it again this year....

a real blessing...

My friend gave me the leftover carrot and orange juice.

*

We went to the Canon of St Andrew again last night

and later Mr Husband fixed a shower drain that suddenly stopped draining

and that was Lent Day Three.
