A Sabbath Rest

Well, today is the day of Sabbath rest and I mostly rested. I got up and got ready for church this morning and a little after 0800 I went upstairs to see if Kathleen was planning to go this morning. She was just waking up and said that she wanted to go, but I could tell from what happened last week that she would not make it and I would not either. So I just said that she was about an hour from being ready to go and that I was going now and she should just stay in bed and rest.

Yesterday she never did get dressed and when I got back from church and Sunday School, she still was in her nightclothes. She came down stairs about noon and still was not dressed. She got herself some puffed rice and wheat and had a raspberry and cream cheese croissant. Since it looked like she was not going to have any lunch any time soon I made myself a limburger cheese and onion sandwich.

I gathered up the laundry and did two loads, one dark and one light. After I finished reading the paper I went outside and oiled the bottom and back of the planting bench. By this time, the first load was ready to come out of the dryer and fold. So I put the second load in the dryer and folded the first load.

Kathleen came back down stairs and was dressed, so I asked her what we were going to do for dinner and she suggested rice and chicken. It sounded good to me, so Kathleen got the chicken tenders out of the freezer and cooked some rice.

After dinner Kathleen wanted to go for a walk around the block, she did not need to ask me twice. She was really tired afterwards and her glucose level was only about 74, so she took a glucose tablet and that helped bring it back up to 130.

As you can tell, I did pretty well keeping the Sabbath rest. Oh, I almost forgot, last night after I sent off my post I cleaned out the bathtub downstairs. It had been stained for years and nothing I had tried before worked, but we recently tried Kaboom for the toilet and it worked really well, and so we bought another Kaboom product, “Ultra Scrub”, that was almost like a liquid cleanser.

I worked on it for about fifteen minutes and got most of it cleaned up. I was pretty tired from working outside most of the day so I did not do anymore. I think in the next day or so I will probably try it again. It will be nice to have a bathtub that does not look really dirty all the time.

Well, I think that is all for tonight, nothing else to do but say, good night!
