Thursday

I've been a bit lethargic today.   Lethargy usually afflicts me when I feel overwhelmed at all that I have to do.

Going through all the 'last things I will do" and yesterday was the last Wednesday meal.  I wasn't required to make a dessert as it was team Mexican, who provide their Mexican dessert - a sort of pastry.   

My friend Jack had put aside a non-spicy portion for me - everyone else, even children in their high chairs have the spicy portions.    Kevin said he would come and cut my grass.  I do appreciate all these kind friends I have made here, and will miss them all.

Today, Thursday I went to Communion, and the last Thursday lunch, there was nine of us altogether.   We went to a Mexican restaurant - Mexican restaurants here are as ubiquitous as the Chinese at home.   It was all very pleasant in spite of being a little sad at the fact that it was my last. When I stepped up to pay my bill I found a friend had settled it for me - people are all so generous.

And tomorrow, Friday, I am off to my last chaplaincy round.
