So hot... So dark...
I started a new book. A British mystery novel, that isn't Agatha Christie. I honestly didn't know anything about it, but when I first start reading my mind immediately goes to 1930ish England. But no. At first they mention Thatcher. The 80s? But then they say everything is on "The cloud" so it's current current. Later they name drop Trump, but it's more of his business / property ownership vs him being president, so maybe it's not that current? Although it could still be? Anyway, it starts with the initiation of sorts of a new member to the Thursday Murder Club where they discuss cold cases. But then there is a side story of the owner of the housing / retirement development wanting to expand. It's on the land formerly owned by a Convent of Nuns. But then they mention a priest selling to resolve some personal financial issue. Maybe I've changed, but... Yeah, the author clearly knows nothing about Catholicism and made little comments here and there that I guess a normal person wouldn't think twice about, but yeah... They make a comment about the Nuns that lived there. Part of it was to run away and hide secrets. Once the last Nun died the church was eager to sell, like they're money hungry. They then said the priest sold it off to settle person debt. But yeah... It doesn't work like that. Priests don't own the property, the parish does. It is the parish the built the property. A priest can't just decide to sell it off. The parish needs to. I stopped with a priest showing up to the housing meeting prepping himself to ask about the cemetery, which it seems like the owner of the property has no qualms tearing up and who knows what he'll do with the bodies. Oh yeah, in selling the convent, they also made if a stipulation to keep the chapel as is. But of course the owner wants to find a loop hole to convert it into flats.
Mass. Fr. I is still away. Still Fr. George. Still making the EMHC self communicate. Lol. But... I dunno, I had a weird moment when I received. Like... I don't even know how to explain it. Like I said, he holds onto my chin when he... At the moment the only word I can think of is feed me. But yeah... I don't know how to describe it other than it felt more reverent that usual. Not that holding my chin did that. Like he took his time. Things slowed down... Do I have anything to say about his homily? He mentioned we aren't only called to be awake, but to be ready. He mentioned something about the Master / God girding Himself which at the moment had an effect on me, but I can't remember exactly at this point... But then he was talking about how we (as Christians? As Catholics?) are given many things and we are expect to give back just as many. Honestly that verse scares me... Like yes I have been blessed, but I never feel like I do enough nor do I have the ability. Anyway... The reading also started with Jesus referring to us a "little flock". As I posted on Instagram, maybe I'm immature, but I love the image of Jesus as the Shepherd and we're just his cute, kinda dumb, but loving sheep.
Oh and no "Matt Maher" today. 😞
Fr. I must be away from the interwebs or busy doing church stuffs because he hasn't faved any of my posts since yesterday. Lol...
Once again, Bishop is doing his rounds and... It's so confusing because the pictures they post, the churches look so empty and... Is my church an anomaly? At the same time they say the Novus Ordo is dying, but that also hasn't been my experience. Also... I worry because we only have 1 priest and it seems like everywhere else has more than 1. But then... My parish pantry supplements another. Like I said, it is the parish who owns the parish. How long can we sustain ourselves?
I think I'm getting my period. Cramps. But it's tolerable at this point. I tried my Menstruation Crustacean. At first I had my doubts it wasn't hot enough, but it ended up working well. That being said, it's also too hot to really use. Hot as in outdoor temperature.
Once again, I feel like I smell. Once again I showered after I tanned.
Oh yeah, I got my lab results... My cholesterol asides from my triglycerides / HDL have normalized. I have low indirect bilirubin. What does that mean??? I'm only familiar with high and hepatic issues / neurological issues. But what does low mean??? My ALT is still high. But it is lower and almost normal compared to before. No bacteria, but I'm pos for Leuc esterase and WBCs in my urine. I had to pee so bad!!! cc 7500centfish
Lol. 7500centfish and kumquatqueen have a neighbor from Romania. 1. I asked if she sounds like Dracula. She does not. 2. Where is she from, like I'd know if she said! But yeah, Fr. I is from a small village in the mountains.
