Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track
Good afternoon! It's really cold, but the sun is shining bright, so it feels like spring. I thought today would be hard with the time change, since I already have to get up so early to make it to church for the early service, but it went real well. Today, I had to dress a certain way because of the special music, and I still can't believe that my hair cooperated! It usually gives me a fit and won't do anything when I have to be in front of the public, but if I'm staying home and no one will see me, it always looks great. It must have gotten confused.
Anyway, I got to church on time and wow, what a great sermon we had! The whole church was pumped! Then, for the second service, it was baptism Sunday. I'm a Baptist, so we dunk them under the water. The associate/youth pastor was away with the youth, so Pastor Temple had to baptize 12 people by himself. We sang very well with almost no practice, so all in all, it was a wonderful day!
We've had almost no practice for the Maundy Thursday service, and almost none for the special Palm Sunday cantata. That's next Sunday! We are singing the full version of Hallelujah Chorus, and most of us have never sang it. I am singing a duet for the Maundy Thursday service (standing room only crowd) and the other half has severe bronchitis and we have never practiced together! We are supposed to be singing "Ten Thousand Angels"--I'm scared!
The yeast-free diet is not too bad this time, since I have come up with yummy foods that are legal. The guacamole turned out great, and that makes up for not being able to have mayo and mustard on my bland meat, like turkey breast. The omelet with roasted asparagus and Hollandaise sauce was outstanding. The only thing I did wrong was roast the asparagus too long and it was too done. I didn't think the Hollandaise sauce would take so long to make. It's supposed to warm up well, so next time I use it, it won't take so long.
Tomorrow, I visit the surgeon for the last time, I hope. I am healing really well and it looks good. I got past the infection under the healed incision without antibiotics, so that is a plus. It's still a little sore and swollen, but not red and hot to the touch.
I'm going to rest. Long week ahead.
Cat--I'm sooooo jealous that you can handle pinto beans! Mmmmmmmm a big pot of beans, a bowl of greens and a hunk of cornbread and I would be in Heaven!
I can dream, can't I??
Sunny!

to everybody.
Must deal with the fact that it is MONDAY. So off to work I go where my agenda is to avoid the boss lady!

Like that's gonna happen. He told me that I had been a very good patient to work with and that he had enjoyed it. He thanked me for sticking with him until he got it right! He told me that if I needed anything else done, make an appointment and "he would talk me a deal." Here--let me put his number on speed-dial...Like that's gonna happen.
