Soba leftovers today! Also brought some peanuts to work, since my schedule was jam-packed and I was anticipating being tired. Made it through without feeling too hungry, thankfully.

Made more soba tonight for dinner. Should have plenty to eat tomorrow, which is good because it’ll be another long day.

Unfortunately, darling Pearl is not reacting well to the diet. She’s been feeling pretty stressed over the past week, partially from having to think so much about the food we’re making. It’s getting in the way of her prayer and devotion time, so we’re thinking about switching up the Daniel fast after day 7.

I don’t know if our diets will look the same, but I feel quite certain we will continue abstaining from coffee and alcohol for the next two weeks.

God, we are stressed out. Help us to figure out what to do over the next two weeks as we continue our time of devotion and prayer. Thanks for getting us this far, and thanks for speaking to us. Amen.
