So, perhaps a titch of hyperbole? In any case, I was thrilled to be up-and-at'em very efficiently this morning. It wasn't hot or humid and was overcast, so I was out 20 minutes before my ride, wearing my new paisley sundress under my black tunic, using the shortened hem portion as a scarf. Very elegant. I really just wanted to sit outside but the bus foiled me by pulling up a couple of minutes earlier. Still, I didn't mind arriving at church at 9:00 a.m. I didn't mind sitting outside, luxuriating in the breeze while listening to invigorating music. At the end of the earlier service, I greeted Sam (our Reverend-Elect) who would be presiding AND preaching today. Before the start of the next service, I had a date tussle with church-John regarding him helping me out. I finally chose Thursday and he agreed. Then the worship coordinator approached me, saying he'd noted my self-exclusion for today's service because of logistics but asked whether I could help out in a pinch because he was short of volunteers on a long holiday weekend. I gently explained not only the logistical problem but also my pain levels which I can work through when I psyche myself up on the first and third Sundays each month. I feel it was my being selfish in this regard that made Communion go longer so that we actually got a chance to sing my second-fave hymn "When Peace Like A River". And I really DID sing it, with croaks in my voice and all. But it was powerfully healing. There were other super-fab examples of music today including a male soloist singing a mashup of "Don't Know How To Love Him" from JC Superstar and "What I Did For Love" from A Chorus Line! I was also thrilled my fave cellist was back from his trip to South Africa. I welcomed him back and complimented his embellishments to one hymn especially.
I had plenty of time after the service to relax outdoors but ended up being driven indoors when spitting turned into actual rain. Hey, you weren't forecast! Unfortunately, my ride did not show up, so I had to call and complain. Consequently, I didn't get home until shortly after 2. Eeeeeek! I was pleased to see that SuM had replaced the light bulb in the laundry room but had only righted my bathroom door but NOT reinserted the hinge-pin. Uh, SuM, do you think the hinge will remain unified on hope alone? ::rolls eyes::
I quickly settled down to write my review. I was blocked for a while, even as I was dealing with hunger and sleepiness. I finally produced my review at 4:11. What a relief. I decided to rewatch my recorded epis of Castle but kept nodding off. Sigh. Same thing with the news. I kept dozing through cartoons and finally got out of bed around 9 as I was cold. Good thing I have my comforter handy. Anyway, I feel myself slipping away, so had better post this, take my meds and slide into sleeeeeeepy-land.
