Today was exhausting because of my medicine again. I struggled to wake up and ended up sleeping most of the afternoon when I laid down for a nap. Now I'm behind on housework and have to catch up tomorrow. Same with laundry. To that end, I am cutting that medicine in half to see if … Continue reading Exhaustion

Best Horror Book I’ve Read in A While
I am deeply, almost radically enjoying this collection of tiny short stories by Darcy Coates. I might be late to the party because she's a best seller, but this was my first book by her and the first I heard of her. I have a soft spot for short fiction. I've downloaded a novel by … Continue reading Best Horror Book I’ve Read in A While

Adoration, OCIA, Rosary
Today I attended OCIA. My two classmates were both out, as was Father C, so M taught me a lesson on the sacraments. I found out I can't get my marriage convalidated (word choice?) Because to do so, you must agree to raise your children Catholic. My deeply Methodist husband will never go for that, … Continue reading Adoration, OCIA, Rosary
Creeping Catholicism
C is out of town for work for a few days, so it's just A and I. I got some of that list done. I mopped and did laundry and reorganized stuff and read. But I definitely did not finish the list. In the evening, A and I watch YouTube videos together and hang out. … Continue reading Creeping Catholicism

We had manicotti and fish and biscuits and pie and potatoes, etc. It's been a relaxing day. I did a little embroidery for the … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
