Sunday, always the best day of the week.

The best day, except for the waking up at 6:30 and crawling into the shower, hoping that the hot water will do the trick. Hmm, not so much. But I did my colourful stained glass outfit and ruby jewelry. And added my frizzy-hair scrunchy to my inadequate ponytail. Just how long does it take for hair to grow? Because mine seems to be in stasis.

Anyway, off to church and happy to be there. I was on duty which always makes me feel good. There was one thing that made me very sad. One of our ministers was diagnosed with two types of cancer over a year ago. He had chemo and went into remission. But the cancer has spread to four other parts of his body. He is planning to have one session of radiation just to alleviate the pain. And then ... and then.... It's just not fair.

It was a long wait afterward as the bus didn't come until 1:15. The driver let me off at the supermarket, so I bought actual food! And then I walked home in blissful sunshine. I got in at 3, stored my groceries, then headed out. I was going to do the steep hills all by myself. But ... but ... the opening is completely gone. Who took our gate away? I was so flustered that I approached a neighbour. When she learned of my predicament, she said she'd accompany me around the long way (back up to the street, over to the community centre, then back down to the lake). She only knew of the rocky portions next to the lake, so I showed her the boardwalk and we sat there and enjoyed the sun and breeze and loud-mouthed geese. We talked to other people who were passing by. And I made a fool of myself. I asked her name and was shocked when she told me. Because I couldn't see her features well enough, I didn't realise that this was the woman who'd spent the afternoon with me on my patio a couple of months ago. Duh. Eyes????? We walked back around 4:30 as the sun was weaker and the wind was picking up.

I finally had something to eat: a couple of open faced sandwiches with the goodies I'd just bought. I've watched yet another couple of epis of SGA S4. Only six more to go. I guess I can start looking forward to rewatching my faves. Yes, I'm putting the only positive spin I can on the whole horrid mess. And I'm still grumpy. Anyway, I've fed my grumpy face some ice cream; I'll have some juice with my pills and I'll be going to sleep soon. Well, it's a plan.

I hope your Sunday was relaxing with only good things. If not, I know a good black hole where you can stuff nasty things. Yeah, I wish. Hugs all around,
H.
