It Has Been A Short, Fast Day.

I thought today would be a long drawn out day but it wasn't. I'm very sad that I'm not in that supercity with my little family and I miss my little routine of getting there so God has seen fit to give me a full day of life to replace what I usually do every fortnight.
I walked 6.3 kilometers today. I walked because there is no bus service from here to town on a Friday and even if there was I had no money for bus fares, even though fares are very reasonable. I needed to go back into town to deposit some $$ in the daughter's account, re-schedule my legal clinic appointment, did my emails while I was there, walked out of the central shopping area to the supermarket for weekly groceries, then headed home. The only thing I didn't do was listen to music using the free town wi-fi, because it had started to lightly rain by the time I had finished at the supermarket. Music is one of my more effective and one of my favourite wellness tools. I was disappointed that it didn't happen today. I need music more than once a week.
About half a kilometer from my front door, it started to rain quite heavily. If it wasn't for me being in so much pain from all that walking, I would have loved the walk in the rain. Plus I was tired and walked on an empty stomach - well I had time to drink half a glass of water before I left home. I have been tired for the whole week too and this didn't help.
Showered before leaving this morning and had another shower when I got home, washing my hair as well this time. After I had dried myself and wrapped up in towels, I was so tired that I lay down in bed, pulled the blankets over me and was instantly asleep. Didn't even have the energy to pull my pyjamas on. Woke up again shortly after seven p.m. Had a meal and coffee and a Viber chat before coming here to write. I was pretty hungry but now I feel better.
It's avocado season now in New Zealand and I've already bought three and eaten two. Man they are delicious and very nourishing. I'm eating my way through an eighteen month vegetable program to compensate for a high protein / carbohydrate diet when I lived in that supercity north. Fresh vegetables were a luxury. We lived on frozen veges in small proportions. Bought stewing steak today because I need the iron. Insomnia is robbing my body of iron and minerals etc. Food suddenly is of incredible importance to me even though I'm not eating much. Miss making vegetarian stews but I need red meat. Can't do without peanut butter and bananas either at the moment and coffe drinks to substitute alcohol.
Had a few minor and fleeting urges and temptations to drink today and yesterday but I didn't give in and they've all passed. Thank GOD and thank goodness.
My prayers are with my grandchildren and their parents this weekend. I've carried on as usual and kept texting the daughter even though she isn't speaking to me. I'm still speaking to her and this requires courage on my part.
A wonderful weekend to all.
Love, light and blessings everyone.
