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.

Please share your book list for comfort and solace, or at least email me at nmccarroll at q.com as I need something to read aloud to Julie that has value in it other than what I've read to her so far. Thanks!
