My eye saga continues, but is getting better. Yesterday I realized it was only my left eye that is light sensitive, red, and sore. Is it pink eye? Something sinus related, but only on one side of my face (which has happened before)? Am I fighting off some sort of cold or flu? Yesterday I tried to take it easy: no contact lenses, less screen time, more sleeping. This morning is better than yesterday morning, but still not back to normal.
Despite my eye situation, I managed to get through the onboarding tasks and training for the Asheville VA Hospital. It looks like I've done everything that needs to be done before I start CPE training on Monday.
I was also able to go out with a friend. We went to Mela, an Indian restaurant in downtown Asheville. We went for the lunch buffet, the biggest buffet I've seen in an Indian restaurant. I tried a few bites of each of the vegetarian dishes, which took two plates to do. Left untouched: several chicken dishes, the soup, and the special donuts. We had a cup of chai, which was good, but not as good as my Indian friend in South Florida used to make for us.
Here's my one sentence review of the food: "it was flavorful and full of vegetables and spices, but it didn't punish me for eating it." So much of the Indian food in South Florida was so harshly spiced, the first bite making it impossible to taste anything else.
After our Indian lunch, we went to Raven and Crone. Both of us used to shop at the Joyful Alternative in the 5 Points area of Columbia, SC, and we both agreed that Raven and Crone has that same vibe. What a treat!
Today I'll get back on track with tasks I want to complete before CPE starts. Can I create several weeks of sermons in advance? Should I think about Fall syllabi?
Stay tuned!
