For some, I suppose it does get in the way of all the Santa, egg-nogging, reindeer, credit card bending seasonal joy that we have come to love and cherish.
No matter. I'm in.
THE DEVIL! |
I stayed away from meats yesterday. I ate one solid meal and sparingly on the other two.
My failure was that a friend gave me a jar of Christmas candy and I was not only tempted but CONQUERED by it's sweet promise of artificial fruit fulfillment. So I was walking down the Square just MUNCH MUNCH MUNCHING on my candy. Right out of the jar. I offered a friend some and he said, "No sweets for me. Diabetic." Then it was like the trance was broken. OH NOEZ I DUN BROKE A DIETARY PROHIBITION!
Crap. In between meals on an Ember Day. Tut tut.
So I did a Rosary as a penance.
Tomorrow and Friday are the last two of the season.
If you're into it.
