Waiting Game

Well here we are.  It is the day Merril has her angiogram to hopefully give us some idea what is going on.  Depending on the result it may mean an overnight stay for Merril.
My mind is sort of not post focused at the moment.  As if what Merril is facing was not enough, I need to do the driving home.  I don’t drive any real distances at the moment.  But this is not about me. I will just be glad when it is over.  I think it is even more so for Merril.  All will be revealed.
Because of the above I thought I would make it dictionary day.  No help at all really.  My finger fell on a word I had never heard of “concelebrate.”  It means, “two or more priests celebrate mass together (esp. newly ordained priests)”.
I confess using the Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary I am surprised my finger feel on that.  It was really something I needed to look up as I have a different tradition.  Apparently it has remained in Eastern Orthodoxy but was not practiced for centuries in the Roman Catholic church.
All these things I never knew about.  I am one that is like “any excuse for a celebration.”  But that is me.  I actually don’t know when I will feel the need to celebrate beyond what is really for me a continual celebration.  That does not mean that only good stuff happens as I am a part of life, and I don’t know what will be dished up, but I do know whatever happens there is a good outcome.
It sounds like it has stopped raining outside.  I need to get stuff together for the trip.  I reckon for me there will be a bit of reading today along with a lot of waiting.  Time to prepare.
