Friday: we made it through to May 1st 2020

Friday, we made it!

So, Perry Mason free month trial is over. 

Now I am watching Columbo.

I think I am seeing why these shows are so helpful/enjoyable 

to me right now; I get to be somewhere else, a different decade, a fictional story,

a world that will have a problem that by the end is solved.

I am so glad it is still the Easter season.

Singing "Christ is Risen" is a real blessing.

***

So: I had some grocery delivery shopping success.

I've been tired and needing some cooking/baking help.

I have been looking for certain things on and off online

and just hit the jackpot, as it were, tonight.

Baked beans (for me, my Husband does not care for them) and

not-made-by-me frozen cheese pizza! 

oh man! I've been so wanting pizza/things that are easy to make.

I am just needing a bit of a break.  

I've been meal planning for 7 weeks now and we have another month

to go before things, we hope, start opening back up in NJ.

***

I froze 3 jars of the spaghetti meat and plan on making a 

cheese/noodle/pasta meat casserole (you layer the things and bake)

for the weekend and am going to have that once/day 

and work on something more on Monday 

(or have something simple...)

***

I am slowly making my way through the Thrush Green series again

and really like the writing about how the rector and his wife

were so happy in part because they forgot themselves by

caring for others (though not so much that they 

neglected themselves to point of no return, if that makes sense, 

as in they still had rest/food etc.  But a lot to think about there.

***

I am so glad for our blessings; I have a friend who is worried for her

job security as her place of work is struggling.

Such a hard time for so many, in all different ways!

***

I pray that this weekend brings some rest and something

encouraging for each of us.

May God have mercy on us and save us!
