I couldn't believe the church was packed on Ash Wednesday. Last year, not too many people showed up. Every seat was full this time around. Something else that made me shake my head. People were still coming into church at 12:35 p.m. The service started at 12:10 p.m. The latecomers were only in church for ten minutes.
As part of Ash Wednesday, I did fast and not eat meat. I had breakfast around 7 a.m. I was still hungry so I continued drinking water. The many cups of water kept my mind off of being hungry. When I got home, I had a handful of Chex Mix. I wanted to eat more but I couldn't. My next meal was dinner around 6:30 p.m. I probably only had between 500-800 calories worth of food yesterday. That's not too good. I'm glad we only have to fast twice for all of Lent. I think the lunch my husband and I are having today will top yesterday's calories. My husband and I are having hamburgers and tator tots. MMMMM.... food.
As my husband and I were sitting down to lunch Tuesday, I turned on the TV. The TV came on but our cable receiver box didn't. I asked my husband to see if he could get it to work. He fiddled with a couple of buttons and got the receiver to turn on. We watched TV for five minutes or less and the screen turned green and then went black. My husband called the cable provider to try to get answers on how to fix it. He pressed some buttons on the remote, the receiver and went into the basement to see if that TV was working. It wasn't. The receiver was dead. We were told that a new receiver had to be shipped to us. Today is the day that the receiver is supposed to be delivered to us. It would be nice to actually watch the Olympics again.
