TUESDAY JULY 18

Today was going so good. I was so happy sitting next to Scott. who had Mom on the other side with Hunter in his lap. He was waiting for the right time to go swimming. I said to Scott, I can’t wait for Matthew to get home. I have such good news for him. Mom said, I am really happy for you. I took Hunter’s hand and waved it at Mom. I said, can you say grandmom? Mom smiled really big. She knew what was going on or she thought she did. She was happy for another child. Scott and Hunter went swimming and a lady came out and gave me a smoothie. I asked her if I could get some scrambled eggs. She said, it wouldn’t be a problem at all. The doctor said you were having a health problem and if we help it might keep you out of the hospital. Do you want any toast or something else with them? I said, No, just having this craving for eggs. Thankyou. You are so sweet. About 30 minutes later she showed with beautiful tasting scrambled eggs. I wrote them in my book. At lunch my plate had 2 deviled eggs added to it. Boy did they tasted good. I was thinking maybe my body is craving what it needs. I hope so. If that is the case I can figure out better what to eat. In the afternoon Scott got an Amazon package. He ask the guy who brought it to him if he could have an ice bucket which he brought in a few minutes. Scott got a neck pillow. You put ice or hot water in it and put it around your neck. He put ice around it and put it around my neck. He said, how does that feel? I said, really good thankyou.

At the monastery they told us we would not fight against each other until Thursday. The last day, Our training monk took Jean and I aside for intense training. The other training monk took the woman and the man to train. It was like having private lessons. It was great but Jean and Matthew had to ask for some more goats milk salve for the bruises. They were really enjoying their stay.
