Getting ready to go.

It was much cooler on this day of worship. I felt really distracted during the service. I seemed to get lost in the order of things and in the communication of the ideas. Perhaps I was the only one who noticed. We were blessed by the serving of Holy Communion too. We were also blessed by some younger people (same age as our elder) who have come from Saskatchewan to visit their parents who are second generation winter Texans. They are lovely ladies and bring their children with them. One little girl is an Oriental adoptee around 8. The others in our group are also quite an inspiration too. We came home and began matching clothes for me to take on our trip that is now only about a month away. Evelyn took a nap and I heated soup for our lunch. She has a bit of a sore throat but not a full fledged cold as yet. We spent some time selecting clothes to take on our cruise. Evelyn helps me choose matching outfits appropriate for the climate and occasion. I spent more time during the day rolling those I won’t need until time to go. It is only a month away! I went to the trailer to take some items there and look for our hanging bags. They weren’t there so I returned home and immediately found them under our bed. I also decided to buy a small refrigerator to keep drinks cool. I will keep it in the shed. I will have to rearrange things but can’t really do that until after we dismantle the Christmas decorations after Epiphany. I will bring it back tomorrow morning on the golf cart. We ate the leftover pizza and tamales for supper and fruit compote for dessert. I have decided to try doing with our candy, cookies, or other sugar desserts. I have made it 3 days so far. It is really cold turkey after the glut of the holiday. I will try to lose 10 pounds before leaving for the trip. I must face the fact that I am too fat and not getting any slimmer eating the way I am. I know that my health will improve if I can lose some weight. This may not work, but I must try. I think I can lose on the cruise by going high protein but must do something before that. I rolled some clothes and packed them into the suitcase. We just vegged out in the evening.
