the blessing of tea and cookies

Husband worked from home today.

We had tea and cookies.

And a delicious chocolate! 

For lunch we had chicken and beef and cheese

and cheese and chicken for dinner.

The fast is OVER. 

I am so relieved.

I was running out of things I wanted to eat,

since I can't quite cook everything yet...

***

We are still having various unbloggable challenges.

One made things easier but made me really upset and sad.

Another is on-going and exhausting.

I wish I could tell you about them but I just can't,

you know how it is...

My foot seems to be doing well.

Swelling and bruising is down. 

***

I am not sure when I will be able to leave the house quite yet;

I've only been out of the house 3 times since the accident on 

Mid-Pentecost (May 10th this year)....

but God has been helping me with that,

and I am doing one thing at a time...

***

Tomorrow I hope to make cards again....

I've been journaling more often and that is a blessing. 

***

I was able to (while my hurt ankle is up on my knee scooter)

reorganize many things this week, 

cupboards, the linen closet, the pantry.

***

It was so wonderful to have pots of tea with milk

and non-fasting foods, chicken and beef,

today! I am so glad for this.

The Apostles Fast was long this year.

It was funny, I had gotten used cookbooks that are

vegetarian and vegan that I was so glad to have

because the Apostles Fast was going to be long this year,

having no idea that I would break my ankle and not even 

be able to think about these cookbooks and making 

fast-friendly foods for us to eat. 

***

I can't wait till I can walk again.

I hope, by August, that I will be walking.

Meanwhile, one day at a time...

May God have mercy on us all!
