10pm
Up late at 9ish. E sent a text asking for mas cafe. Turned out that she was feverish all night and she still had so e when I touched her forehead. She came up and had some breakfast and more meds before she went down to rest some more. I de died to make some chicken broth for her and chicken paprika for Leo and me doe dinner.
Went to my lesson with Tim and we worked on some moves for the routine for the April showcase. It was fun doing that. However was a bit off today. Slow to get the move and not very steady on my feet. Once I almost fell after some turns. Nevertheless, we had a few moves to tape for the next time.
Came home and started cooking. The whole chicken and the packages of thighs were still frozen. Had to use the microwave to help thawing them faster. But I finally managed to put them on the stove. The whole chicken in the big pot with the insert with thyme, Ginger root slices, 枸杞. I let it simmer while I brown the thighs with paprika and then soften the onions. Lastly, they went into another big pot with water to simmer till tender. I also put cayenne pepper, soy sauce and some hot bean paste and garlic too. Thru both turned out ok. Eliminate had some broth with chicken and Leo and I had chicken paprika over rice. Brandon came after work and had a plate of it too. Eliminate was able to talk with us during dinner but faded fast afterwards and went downstairs agog with more meds in her hands. These colds can last longer than we hope for.
There was a short time of sleepiness after dinner, it was hard to keep my eyes open when I tried to finish the last few pages of the genesee diary. But the sleepiness lifted after a while and I was able to do the evening prayer with the divine office app. What a blessing it is to have found the audio app. Not only it organizes the text for you, they sing and read it too. I was however still not able to be totally immersed in it to catch the meaning of the text. Or they are too familiar to me and lost it’s meaning long time ago. My heart didn’t have the echo I wish it does to the words. But even in this less than perfect prayer, I hope that the intention is rewarded than the result. I have a long way to go to walk the spiritual path of those before me and ahead of me.
Brandon mentioned Xoom again. It does seem like a good piece of hardware but I find it hard to replace those apps that I have grown used to. Maybe I can try the android phone but keep my beloved apps in the iPad.
