A quiet evening, a busy morning

I made it to NYC and saw my longtime friend in the morning.

I took the longer way home at lunch time.

I am afraid I feel now that I am coming down with something,

a cold perhaps? I am trying to fight it off with lots of rest and liquids.

I was hoping to go to church tonight and out to eat with a friend,

but had to stay home, I have learned to listen to my body 

when it is showing signs of flagging like this. 

And so I rested, finished Celebrations at Thrush Green and 

have been quiet. 

I did, with my Mom's coaching over the phone,

sew on the top button to my new red jacket that I wore for the first

time on Sunday; a jacket I found during the week that I saw my 

+Aunt Karen for the last 2 times, alive... 

So poignant.

That button, sadly, came off before Sunday liturgy was even done, 

but thankfully I did not lose it.

I fixed the button with the vintage sewing box that I found while

visiting my parents-in-law at a Garage Sale and that my

parents brought with them when they visited.

So wonderful to have that button on and to use thick button thread

and a large needle, both from the sewing box of treasures. 

Tomorrow will be a rest day,

but I do need to go in DV to NYC again on Thursday.

So it goes.  It will be OK and I will do what I can 

and that's all.

And that will be enough.
