Not feeling all that great today.  I'm feel slightly nauseated and every now and then I feel like I'm going to lose it completely.  However, I have several orders to mail out today and a stocking order to finish up so I can mail that one too. I really would like to make soap today but I'm afraid the fragrance oil will aggravate the nausea.  Soooooo, I'm going to finish getting the orders ready, take them up to mail, and then take a long nap.

Word of the day:
Monday of the Fourth week of Easter
Saint(s) of the day : St. Brendan, St Gemma Galgani
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 10:11-18.

I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them.
This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me,
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep.
I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father."
