Despite the fact that Corned Beef and Cabbage is one of my ALL-TIME favorite meals, Day-9 will both end a success and include the lion's share of 3 pitchers, of green beer!
Beth and I went out to Pete's Tavern with some friends (most of whom do not read this) and in addition to the green beer, Pete's had corned beer and cabbage on the menu. Pete's also had some crazy old lady, dressed in green, playing the accordion table-side, which is somehow festive?
Prior to going out to Pete's, Beth was able to work from home today and watch Daniel, so that I was able to go into the office. Despite not having the additional stress of caring for Daniel, I didn't have much time for self enlightenment and have nothing new to add. I did get into a discussion with a friend about why I don't take Sunday's off from my fasting. To me, the idea of taking Sunday's off in a sacrifice for Lent is silly; every 7th-Day, during his 40-Days, Jesus didn't call out "Hey Beelzebub, it's the 7th-Day, how about the bread, cheese, water and a nice steak!" So, I want to do 40 consecutive days.
This weekend, I should get some reflective time to focus on the "why" of what I'm doing. As I get more insight of the situation, I'll be sharing it with you.
Random Notes: Started the day at 202 lbs - lost the calorie count, but between the McDonald's Shamrock Shake and Green Beer, will finish the day on a 9-Day high.
P.S. It's good to be Irish.
