**flytrap** Holy Communion is brought to those who cannot attend Holy Eucharist itself due to bein’ sick, elderly and not able attend, hospitalized, and even incarcerated. Not because one could not be bothered to haul one’s carcass over to the church house however. since I am sick, infirm, and otherwise a shut in at the moment, Joy brought Holy Communion to me. Her husband came with her and we had a nice visit for a bit. **MOOOOOOM** appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed for FairyChatDaughter. ---

My sweetie and his dad are in VA, and should be here within 3 hours or so. They’re not stopping for supper, so we’ll have a late meal when they get here. Glad I made up the cuke salad earlier today. In fact, I need to go stir it. 😃 ---

Thanks **flytrap** We do have a “Last Rites” which is called _Ministration At The Time of Death_ and also _Litany At The Time Of Death_. Using a simple term would just be, well, Non-Episcopalian. 😃 On the shingles front, I have felt surprisingly not too bad today. A little hurty but not horrible hurty. Matter of fact I have not even taken any Extra Strenght Tylenol[sup]TM[/sup] cause I haven’t felt the need to take any. Go Me! I will take some before bedtime just so’s I’ll sleep through the night. It does make me sleep through the night, as in, don’t wake up to go pee even. ---
