Well, two more sleeps and hopefully this nightmare that has been my 2026 will be over. I have everything crossed. I am afraid to hope for the best. There is a part of me that is concerned that being borderline bladder incontinent and in pain from it all will be a permanent state. This has been horrendous to say the least. I am trying to remain hopeful that the stent removal will move things back to normal. I have everything crossed from the top of my head down to the tips of my toes.
I don't know what that says about my faith. Not much I guess. "Lord I believe. Help thou my unbelief." Mark 9:24 I do have a great deal of faith, but it is not perfect. I am only human after all.
I made the requisite pancakes for pancake day yesterday. Eileen was really happy about that. She said that whenever she tries to make pancakes they never turn out. I carefully talked her through every step along the way, so hopefully the next time she tries to make them on her own she will be more confident.
She had an appointment yesterday at the sleep clinic. Apparently she had some sleep test done a while back to determine if she has sleep apnea or not. They have determined that she has mild sleep apnea and that she snores. I have been trying to tell her for years that she snores and she would never believe me. Now she does. They are going to let her try that sleep machine thingy at some point to see if it helps.
I don't know how anyone sleeps wearing one of those, but I guess you get used to it.
I didn't feel really well yesterday afternoon. I think the lack of sleep over the last few months is really catching up on me. I made the pancakes but couldn't really eat them. I refrigerated the leftovers and will probably have some this morning. Not quite as nice as the first round, but I am sure I will still enjoy them.
Eileen bought some bananas when she was out and so I had one of those over the course of my evening. It is very rare that I will eat a banana. I like sliced banana on a bowl of cereal and I like them in baked things like cookies and banana bread. I would never turn down a slice of banana cream pie, but just eating a banana is something I hardly ever do. They have to be at just the right level of ripeness for me to do that. Not too ripe and not too underripe.
I might make bananas and custard today. I think Eileen might enjoy that.
I might make some biscuits today as well if I feel up to it. I haven't had any of those in a long while now. I love a good biscuit. The other night Eileen and I had beans on toast with some cheddar cheese grated on top. She really enjoyed that. It was not something she had ever had. She is wanting me to do them again. Beans on biscuits might be even better than beans on toast.
We shall see.
Today is Ash Wednesday or the first day of Lent. The forty day period before we celebrate Easter. In many faiths they use that time period as a time of sacrifice where they will give up something or some things for that time period. You will see people giving up things like chocolate or something else that they enjoy. Others will fast from social media. My church really doesn't do the Lent thing. For the past few years however I have been doing the Pray 40 for Lent on the Hallow Ap and I am doing it again this year. I have gotten a lot out of it the past couple of years. I love anything that helps me to focus more on the Savior and what he did . . . that will bring me into closer communion with Him. To help tear my focus away from Easter Bunnies and chocolate.
Although it will be kind of nice to have Eileen here this year for Easter. I see a chocolate bunny in her future. Maybe mine as well. 😉
Yesterday Eileen and I were watching the CIA program on my Roku channel. They were doing Mexican food. We both love Mexican food. They made the most delicious looking tacos. They basically fried some lean ground beef with onions and spices and then added some cheese to them. This is what they filled corn tortillas with and then they fried the filled tortillas. After that they filled them with lettuce, salsa, taco sauce, more cheese, etc.
I may see some of those in our future as well.
And with that I will end this off with a thought for you to carry with you . . .

A new old recipe in the Kitchen today. Breakfast Waffle Quesadillas. These are really delicious with eggs scrambled with onions and peppers, cheese, bacon, etc. Served with your favorite quesadilla toppings/dips. You could even use gluten-free tortillas if you wanted to.
I hope you have a beautiful Wednesday. May it be filled with light and with love. Don't forget!
