MAUNDY THURSDAY

This is Maundy Thursday in Holy Week and so I have been to church tonight for which I played piano. It is a very special service for me because it is such a solemn reminder of what was to come for Jesus. Our service includes a foot washing for those who wish to participate, communion and a solemn, silent closing. After attending the service I find myself somewhat saddened and reluctant to resume normal activities. How must Jesus have felt?

It is raining softly, finally. Our grass has been dry and brown for some extended period of time now so maybe it will green up. Our fire danger has been very high so this will help. Sleeping should be pleasant tonight.

I ate an early dinner this evening which has now worn off and is causing me to want to find something to nosh on--perhaps some delicious granola full of nuts and seeds that I have. A cup of tea sounds good too.

Today my brother and I went to Lowes and bought new surround for my shower which I am looking forward to getting installed. He has already removed the old surround which means that I am showering at my moms or else taking PTA baths. I am also waiting for the plumber to install the new faucets which will have cutoff valves that were not a part of the original plumbing. Home improvement--what joy.

Something is going off in one of my storage closets--I think a smoke detector telling me that the battery is shot. So before I can sleep I have to sort through a basket of junk to find the thing. The funny thing is that it has been in there about 4 years and I didn't think the batteries lasted that long.

I'm going to shuffle off toward the kitchen. Only two more days until chocolate returns to my diet. Whoopee!

Happy Easter Day to everybody. I hope that your bunny shows up.
