Our chapel's library or our library's chapel or a peaceful guestroom...

The futon for our 

chapel/library/guest room is put together,

as is some additional shelving for the library.

Mattress DV arrives this Thursday.

A small CD shelf is now assembled and in use.

I love our little icon corner...

St. John, the Lord's Pascha, and His Mother

entering the temple, the feast

that my Oma was taken on...

*

Little by little, 

things are coming together.

*

Today included an impromptu breakfast, swim and 

now some reading, cleaning and organizing.

*

I am thankful to God.

Sigh ~ Evening Quiet...

The Mother of God
Joy of All Who Sorrow.
*
Akathist here.

Someone kindly came today
to help with things.

A roast was made for us to eat tomorrow.
Things are put back in order.
The clean is calming...

Late this afternoon
I played an Akathist to St. Seraphim as
I knitted.
*
I talked with my Grandma and Mom. :)
And my dish cloth is done,
just needs to be binded off! 

This is the next yarn I am
going to work with.
I love experimenting.
For now I am sticking to scarves.
I figure it is a great way to learn how
different yarns work and
will teach me a lot.

This scarf is almost done!!

 

I am going to try the
cotton bamboo yarn with a
number 7 needle
and see what happens.
If it does not work,
I can always frog it back.
*
I am dreaming of bread baking on Friday.
*
Tomorrow is medical appointment
where I hope to hear that I am OK
and that somehow they were wrong about the
whole
I have mono thing.
I really hope...
*
Mr. Husband is home
and I am so glad. 

Quiet Day...

Hard to believe we are almost done with the

40 days of Brightness.

My phone meeting was postponed again

until tomorrow.

Tonight I need to finish a cover letter...

Back to work.

It was hard to work on finding work today,

with my phone meeting cancelled again.

Lord have mercy...

Sunshine in the midst of it all

Took these pictures yesterday

of the sunshine and blue sky.

These are the 'gingerbread' looking houses that

were snow covered and pictured

from my apartment window these past months.

I am looking forward to seeing flowers and leaves on

the trees.

*

I am writing cover letters and refining resumes.

*

I never knew I would feel so unsure of what to do

or what direction to go in.

No one tells you in advance how hard adulthood can be.

*

We just have to keep walking towards God.

Really, what else is there?

Looking towards the weekend

It looks like Ottawa may get the summer heat

many of my friends on the West Coast are wanting.

*

Personally I prefer the slightly cooler days

(shhh, don't tell!)

**

I have plans to visit some friends this weekend

and am looking forward to this!

My French presentation went well

and I was surprisingly happy and comfortable

doing it.

Of course I talked about my trip to Brampton

to see My Oma and when people here that she is

101 years old

it is a natural crowd and ice breaker.

I submitted the application

it was a loooooonnnngggg process

to rework my resume,

write two 200 word essays

and be sure to match everything to the posting.

Lots of writing and many edits;

but it is done now and printed at 8 pages

(for my records of course).

**

Still not sure what I am doing for July to learn French.

Am going to (yay, thank you God!) borrow the

Rosetta Stone CD's from a friend,

I could take a part time course for 6 weeks

(am only going to do one this time not two if I do it;

and I will NOT be taking the one that

is still teaching French in English!)

or I could take a (more costly) two week intensive course...

or perhaps something I do not know of yet.

***

I have come to the decision over the past while

that I will continue job searching

for full time and part-time work,

while continuing to work on French.

*

Next week will be a full one for me again,

as my interview for the library job

is this coming Thursday!

I have been practicing for this interview

but have a LOT more to do.

**

Thankfully both my French classes will be done before the interview...

***

Hoping this email finds all of my lovely readers doing well

and aware of God's mercy and care for them!
