Mass was brilliant. The choir sang Allegri's Miserere Mei.

I still haven't met a priest capable of administering the ashes well.

My priest almost rather threw the ashes at me as opposed to smearing it on my head.

Mission trip days 1-3

Hurricane repair for elderly women

@Rush congrats!! great news :)

Wonderful. I would love to become more involved in my local community.

Well, not local, but perhaps one town over.

A town where white British civilians make up more than 4% of the entire population.

Oof.

These are African Americans I'm helping.

Very good.

I'm not in my community though

This is 12 hours from my home

Ah, I see.

My home is covered in snow

And like 10 ° f

Beautiful. We had no snow this year.

It actually snowed yesterday here

I'm in North Carolina

It was 32°

I much prefer cold weather.

My immune system, however, does not.

I like cold

And have top tier immune system

I got sick for the first time this year though since 4th gr

I hadn't been sick in 11 years (lest minor colds)

I haven't thrown up from sickness since 4th grade though still

I just got some wonky bug a month ago. It made me nauseous, and I felt malaise

And I had a headache

But I didn't vomit at all or anything

It literally never snows here

Same for me. I've been very unwell lately.

Which is an incredible rarity.

I may go for a blood test.

Need to move out the city, get the country air in you.

Very true.

I'm off to Saint Andrews in six months, God willing.
