Well things have been fairly good on the food front. It does take a lot more work but I have some wonderful people around me who are looking out for me. My husband is the first one. He graciously has made me 2 batches of soup from wonderful recipes! My co-workers at the restaurant are also great, they sent me home with 2 litres of squash soup today and made me vegan proof meals.
I went to the Calgary Peace Prize dinner last night where Dr. Vandana Shiva was to receive her award. She was sent home due to a visa expiry. Lot's of people pulled many strings to get it to work out but she ended up being sent home on a technicality. They had her visa approved but she had to physically pick it up from the government office but because her visa had expired she could not leave the airport to get it. How frustrating is that? Anyways, we ended up seeing her via Skype. Thank you Skype... It was surprisingly moving even to see her via the make shift skype screen pulled together at the last moment. She is incredible. We also heard a wonderful speech from our wonderful Mayer Nenshi. It was a wonderful experience.
The last few days have been my first days on lent and a few busy days in the social realm. It was someone's last day at work so there was a champagne & cake reception, on our way there we stopped to get her a bottle of wine and were offered a tasting, after that there was the awards dinner with cocktails & wine of course & today was a co workers birthday, she was going for peeking duck... it feel's surprisingly good being able to say no.
I think today was the first day I started to feel tired. I forgot my vitamins this morning so that may have had something to do with it. I got really moody at one point, it was strange. I am eating a lot though so hopefully my energy will keep up.
Day 3 hasn't been too bad overall. I'm feeling some sort of peace, whether it's just the fact that I am exercising self control, morning meditative quiet focus with my Bible, eating well, or all three I am uncertain. It is good though which ever the answer is.
