Tues 7 Apr

Slept quite well last night and cold appears to be not developing further, thank you, Lord. Want to do some packing checks. Massage at 11 am, may try to get a pedicure this afternoon. Need to return several library books and pick up some waiting. Still waiting to see when Michael and Taylor will come. Food: 7:45 am 127 g morning bun, 96 g blackberries, coffee

Mon 6 Apr

Made it through all the Easter Triduum singing obligations before my cold set in yesterday afternoon, but it doesn't seem too bad at this point. Took Sudafed before bed and was able to breathe all night, and though I was awake on and off a lot, I feel rested this morning and not too bad. I'm hopeful. Food: 7:50 am 105 g morning bun, 102 g blackberries, coffee

Sun 5 Apr

Easter Sunday! Vigil went well last night, albeit late. Squeaked out around 6 hours to sleep; upside is that I didn't waste much of it in wakefulness or restlessness. Choir Mass at 8:00 and cantor at 10:30 today. Michael and Taylor are coming for wine and (vegan) cheese tonight. Food: 6:15 am 82 g cinnamon raisin roll, 92 g blackberries, coffee

Sat 4 Apr

2-hour rehearsal this afternoon for the long Easter vigil tonight, then up very early tomorrow for 7:15 practice for choir Mass at 8:00, followed by cantoring at 10:30. Lots of singing ahead. Thank you, Lord. that I haven't contracted the voice-stealing illness. Food: 7:55 am 83 g cinnamon raisin roll, 96 g blackberries, coffee

Fri 3 Apr

Good Friday. Planning to go to church at noon today, even though we don't sing. Holy Thursday service went well. Roads weren't too bad, though the trees were still iced over and most every block along the route had large and small branches down. A big branch of one of Robert's trees hit the side of our garage, but Bob doesn't think it did any damage. Food: 7:50 am 95 g cinnamon roll, 102 g blackberries, coffee

Wed 1 Apr

April Fool's Day. Didn't feel jokey this morning; oh, well. Weather is cooler again, but we may not get more snow as initially threatened, but probably still ice and rain tomorrow. Glad to have Pump today as I might not have gone if it was icky out. Food: 7:50 am 68 g honey bear, 103 g blackberries, coffee

Tues 31 Mar

End of March. Still am not sure if it's going out like a lamb or a lion. Definitely cooler today and the sky is such that it could portend mischief. Only thing on my agenda today is practice for Holy Thursday choir at 6:30 tonight. Food: 7:50 am 86 g honey bear, 101 g blackberries, coffee
