I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil--this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him. Ecclesiastes 3: 10-14

After a quick breakfast of bacon strips and apricots, I started my morning with prayer and Bible study, then stopped by Dr. Ford's office to pick up the supplements he had ordered for me. These are to help my digestive system heal, and I am supposed to add these in to all the other things I'm eating. I'm already so busy with shopping for food, cooking and preparing food, eating food, remembering snacks, and getting enough liquids, that I don't have time to be hungry.
And now we're adding supplements -- one for when I get up in the morning and right before bedtime, one mixed as a liquid to take twice daily, and one is a protein shake for once-daily consumption, usually as one of the between-meal snacks.
Phew!
I couldn't deal with the stress of that right now. I've decided to wait until next week, when the play is all over and done with and my life gets back on a more routine, normal keel. What's normal for me, anyway.
So, after a salad lunch, I took a "beauty afternoon" and treated myself to a new haircut before Opening Night. It helped me relax and be more confident in my upcoming performance.
The girl pleased him and won his favor. Immediately he provided her with her beauty treatments and special food. Esther 2: 9
The play went well. Most of the chairs were filled. My costume changes were made on time, I remembered most of my lines and my cues, and I sang the right notes. Friends came and cheered me on, waiting for me after I changed, and it was a great boost, a great Opening Night. Just two more performances to go. But I'm tired, and ready to go to bed.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4: 8
