I've been hungry all day...
I ate my tuna fish and half bagel, but even then I was very hungry by the time they came. I wanted to buy Auntie Anne's, but there was no one manning the booth when I passed. I would have gotten my free bubble tea if I had gotten the pretzel bites. But I did not. We ended up eating at Chili's because I was craving Mexican Street corn.
Speaking for Mexicans... There is a party next door. I saw a tent in the backyard yesterday and then this AM they had a taco truck on the front lawn. Now I'm hearing music... Which seriously sounds like the same song on repeat. There is also an additional pink tent. Quinceanera?
Anyway, even after eating at Chili's I feel like snacking on something even when I'm bloated.
Waiting for 7500centfish's call to pick her up from the train station. We then have to run errands post church. Mom has meds to pick up. 7500centfish needs reading glasses and something from REI. Mom needs to buy chocolates because, "Mark! They'll expect things!" HAHAHAHA!!!
Ash Wednesday. Mom wanted to go to Mass so I worked the PM shift. I honestly think Marna forgot... Anyway, further confirmation my priest is not here. It was the same priest from Sunday. He gave the homily and I had a hard time following... What I do remember... He mentioned the Good New / Gospel being the Good News... But at the same time it's difficult. He then mentioned (I have to find my tweet. I don't remember anymore...) Lent is a time to grow closer to God, but to also bring others with you. I saw "Matt Maher"... He was standing in the back.
I'm having anxiety about the Lenten Mission that like that kid's social media lecture. But then I saw in this week's bulletin it's sponsored by the Men's group and the KofC, so... At least they'll be there? I couldn't care less if I was the only woman.
So much scrupulosity on reddit! People worried about fasting, abstinence, etc. Like relax! In other news... Mom said I'm practically not doing anything because I replaced my coffee with tea. I felt like crap the first 2 days! And... I don't know if it was the tea or just not eating on Wed... But I've been having pressure against my upper esophageal sphincter. I've also been gassy and having loose stools. Lol.
My Lenten read is some book with excerpts from St. Therese of Lisieux. But the intro had a history of Lent. Initially it was just like 40 hours. But then there was also a custom of going to confession prior to Lent and spending the entirety of Lent doing you penance assigned.
Meat Island Thursday and I had fish for lunch...
While I was praying my night prayer at 2AM... I began thinking, how is giving up coffee helping my relationship with God? I've honestly been sleeping after I get home from work. Well after I eat and pray the rosary with Mom.
Dream 1. It was snowing and Mom and I were in the driveway. I remember being in my car decorating it with, not really Christmas decorations, but winter decorations. It was after Christmas as well. But then I saw the neighbors come over and start putting specifically Christmas decorations on the driveway / front lawn. I go to greet them and they're all complementary saying it's so good to see us decorating for Christmas. Their dog then approaches me and I try to be cautious, but then it's immediately friendly to me so I get more agressive with my petting and like rub it's head, etc. It was a big fluffy white dog. I then remember Mom being kind and driving the neighbor's car back into their driveway, except she overshoots and pulls into the house 2 doors down. I also remember it being a beaten up orange red car...
Dream 2. I walk out of a building which is giving me side door St. H vibes, like the side entrance to that street with the mean neighbor who used to steal our balls... And I slipped on the ice outside. I then remember coming off a train and walking the streets of Astoria, but not near the house and toward this historic building. I then remember being in some apt talking to a guy. Suddenly someone comes knocking and... I have to hide / the guy is hiding me. The guy knocking is some sort of paparazzi and is talking about me slipping on the ice. He eventually comes in, but I'm hiding in the kitchen and the guy I'm with is like blocking the door so he can't see into the kitchen. Soon the Pap leaves, but then sees me through some window from the kitchen to the hallway and then asks me some question. I mishear him / aren't sure what he said, so I play it off saying, "I'm not dignifying that with an answer" or some sort of thing like that. He then asks me a medical question, like how I would treat some disease. Again I refuse to answer and he leaves.
Listened to The Counsel of Trent. It was a FFAF on Reality TV on how it's fake. Said someone on the Real World is a Catholic speaker. Say who? Apparently it's Matt from New Orleans... I mean, I also know Rachel from San Fran and the guy she married. Was he from another season? They are Catholic, then the husband being a politician, but they're not like Catholic advocates really... But yeah, I don't remember anyone being overtly Catholic. But then again I wasn't into "Catholic Culture" really back then.
HAHAHA!!! Mom thought I didn't know how to spell scrimps! "HAHAHAHA. I just like being weird!"
How did I know the guy was from Romania? I saw their review of LA Confidential. Interesting, that also do Band of Brothers... I'll have to watch that and a few other of their vids.
