...and I'm so excited. I am playing housewife today, catching up all the laundry, getting rid of the dust weasles (not bunnies, mind you), folding and drying and ironing and putting away, and planning a really nifty dinner. I love to really cook...the kind of cooking where you need to make a list and go out on a quest for ingredients. The first few times you do this, it's easy to feel a little overwhelmed at having to get whole bottles and jars and bags of things you need only a teaspoon of this time. But then it occurs to you that you're not just preparing for this meal, you're preparing for any number of future, as-yet-unimagined meals, and when the time comes to make them, your pantry will be well-stocked and sufficient unto itself, until you come across this one esoteric ingredient you're missing, and only need a teaspoon of -- this time.
Perhaps it's all very banal, but I find this thought very familiar, warm, and comforting today. Off to track down some rare and precious chutney...

I've not checked in here for a while so did not realize you were in pain. Hope you find the relief and healing in what ever way God's grace offers you.
