More Reading, Rest and A Better Appetite






I managed to make a simple turkey casserole for lunch,
though I was really tired.
I finished reading Cancer, My Love
which takes place in Romania and was a very special read...
I felt like I began to see more of the soul
of the Romanian people in it 
and the Orthodoxy that is there
and it was very beautiful.



I was still feeling so depleted that I asked my Husband
to order me a burger for dinner and he, understanding after
I explained how I was feeling, called the order in
and we picked it up after vespers.
I ate the whole thing, it was a half-pounder so my Husband
was so surprised. 
I think after days of not eating a lot, today really being 
the first day that I was really wanting to eat more,
my body was just really in need of such a big burger! 
I was careful only to eat very few french fries, 
as I was just quite sick last Monday night... and again Wednesday...
so far I am doing fine after eating this and felt
more energy than I had all day.
DV we are going to our local church tomorrow,
as I am not strong enough for a long trip etc tomorrow.
We may get more snow tomorrow night...
we shall see!
I am really excited to be able to eat again...
I am being super careful though still, the burger for instance was plain,
I am not having dairy quite yet (other than some in the turkey gravy 
that was premade)... little by little right?
***
I pray each of you are blessed in whatever situation you find yourself in.
May God have mercy on us!
