I will not be confirming with my class at the Easter Vigil Mass. Instead, I will do it sometime in the next couple of weeks at a weekday service. Last sunday, I went to my final OCIA class before confirmation, and I panicked when I found out how late and long the service is going to be. I got so anxious I left crying. So I spoke with my priest, and he very kindly agreed that I could do it another time. I feel awful about that, especially as I know that the Easter Vigil service is beautiful, but I remember that the important thing is becoming part of the church.
Today I went out to lunch by myself for the first time in years. I’ve been feeling really stuck in the house, and I almost didn’t go. I had wanted to go with A, and she was babysitting. But I went alone to my favorite restaurant on the island and read books and enjoyed my favorite dish.
I made art today, both mixed media and digital.
I spent time relaxing on the back porch with the dogs too. Overall, a nice, restful day that I needed.
