Tuesday's Accomplishments

Thank you, everyone, for your well wishes for my daughter.  She is feeling better.  She took today off work, too, and rested.  She said she slept most of the morning, but, felt well enough in the afternoon to go to the dollar store across the street from her apartment to buy Gatorade, some crackers, bananas, and applesauce.  She ate some applesauce, half a banana, and some crackers and drank the Gatorade without any problems.

I spent a quiet morning at home, going over my various lists and revising them!  I still have a lot to do and am running out of time in which to do it all!  

Later in the afternoon, I went to pick up my baking dish from my cousin.  She was out running errands, herself, but I had asked her to leave the dish out for me and she sent me a text showing me where she had kept it.  So, it was easy for me to go and get the dish.  After that, I went to a mall that was near her house to buy some bread from a favorite bakery and a box of chocolates.

Then, I went to the bank and to the Armenian store to buy some groceries, including a couple of items for the almsgiving.  I spent $11.33 and bought:

1 papaya @ $.69/lb = $1.81

4+lb. Granny Smith apples @ $.39/lb = $1.90

Bananas @$.33/lb = $.32

3 lb. chicken drumsticks @ $.49/lb = $1.51

2+lb. dried garbanzo beans @$1.29/lb = $3.12

1 lb. red lentils @$1.29/lb = $1.29

2 packets (@180 g) chocolate wafers @$.69 = $1.38

Total = $11.33

After I came home, I had some of the bread I had bought and a cup of tea.  Then, I did two loads of laundry, watered the houseplants, and washed the dishes.  Cousin P called and we chatted a bit.  Aunt C called, too; she said she will not be able to attend the almsgiving.  I understand her reasons, but, once again, I will be holding an almsgiving that none of my Buddhist family members will not be attending!  Later, I video chatted with my daughter.  She thinks she'll be well enough to go to the office, tomorrow; if not, she has the option of working from home.

Today, I am grateful for:
- My daughter is feeling better
- I'm feeling OK after Monday's injection (arm is a bit sore, though)
- What I was able to accomplish, today
