My period started.
No questions this time. Not lightly spotting, not only when I wipe. No, full blown period. I don't know if it will be heavy or "normal". I was spotting all week long, but then last night there were tiny "clots". If that makes sense? Which is atypical of my when I just spot. But then later that night I was actively bleeding and this AM there was blood in my pad, etc, etc. Went to church, etc with a thin pad on and... When I stood up after eating breakfast to prep my meds. Uh oh... TG for period panties. Yeah, so... I don't know how to grade it at this point. It's been an hour since I changed and I'm not gushing out like I had been when I was VERY HEAVY. Like I'd have to change every 1.5 to 2 hours. I hope it doesn't get to that point. Esp 1st time back. But yeah... I don't get how people can use thin pads. I might have to stock up again. I still have pads from when I last had it over a year ago. I looked at my period app. It looks like I had a "period" like with heavy bleeding Jan 2021 even when I was on meds. But after that it became monthly spotting. Then it stopped. Became spotting again off the meds, etc. At least I'm not in pain right now I guess?
Mass. Well prior. Passed Fr. I while we were going to our seat so he waved. I spotted the "old timey" confessional in the "chapel" area. What is that section called? They basically turned the old chapel area into extended seating. Anyway... The screen is back! But then... It's like in the open. OK, the other confession post covid was open, but at least it was in a separate room. This is in the actual church space. I hope they work something out to make it more closed off. Not that I ever looked him in the face when confessing... But I'll miss it? At the same time I doubt he'd have any doubt it's me. He probably recognizes my voice, my sins, etc.
There was an announcement... I don't even remember what they said it was, but it was an invitation to... I mean, it's for the Synod on the Synod, but... What did they even say??? Like it didn't seem like it was a talk or a discussion... I don't even know. But... I'd like to go if I can. I don't know if Mom needs to go. As I said, it's not a talk. As far as I can tell it's a discussion on what people think about the Church and where it should go. I mean... I have my opinions, but... I'm probably not gonna mention them out loud. I kinda want to hear what my parish wants... And how I align with that.
After Mass went tor Rite Aid. Staples. Mom got a new shredder. McD.
Lol... So I was listening to Keane because of H&F being old. Lol... But when I got to Cause & Effect... I haven't really gotten into that album. First of all I can no longer listen to
Put The Radio On because it's basically about sex. I mean... Maybe I'm naive... Ok, yeah it makes sense, but not till it was legit pointed out to me like I can't not think that! Anyway... It wasn't on my playlist but after the fact I'd have "
I Need Your Love" stuck in my head. And this was after my religious reversion or whatever you want to call it. And yeah... Totally think of God when I hear that song! And in my current relisten... Yeah, that can totally pass for a Praise and Worship song! Well in terms of the music. Not so much the lyrics outside of the chorus. Anyway... In my semi awake thoughts... I always felt like it was me asking for God's love. But then... I dunno... Something hit me. Is it God asking me for my love? I'm a nut!
Oh so we passed by the shopping center that had Applebees and it looks like everything there is closed? Except there is a sign that Michael's is coming soon? So... I guess some stores will reopen? But yeah. Not excited by the Whole foods. It also looks like they are building more stores on the far end of the parking lot. There needs to be a tram between the mall and there!!!
7500centfish asked if I told the Aunts about Wegmans. No...
7500centfish must show us around one time.
For some reason Mom's car alarm went off in the driveway. There was also a clump of hair on my car. I mean... It's animal hair, but it's really long. Ew!
I found a miraculous medal in the church parking lot. It was actually stuck to the sealant on the ground and I had to pry it off.
Tita Nida sent a message to Mom asking for info because Monsignor A is celebrating his 60th and wants "The M family" present. I wondered if it was a group text and it included "Woodmere". I then remembered we're the sole representatives of the family in NY... Wait... It's Tita Nida a M???
