Frustrations to Joys

Couldn't sleep last night. Ended up saying Matins at like 3 a.m. and doing Bible reading for the day. Then back to bed for a short nap before sunrise. Forgot the Epiphany bulletin for Joanie and then Parallels decided to go on the fritz and it took an hour and half to do a job that normally is done in ten minutes. Finally out the door to the Y for a shortened workout. THEN things turned around. Nice lunch with Randy and Tim - we only get together once a year! - at Bottleworks, a visit to Archangels new store, and back home for a confession, Vespers and then the Divine Service for Holy Innocents. Cin and I came home to a light supper and an evening of nothing pressing. Tomorrow the kids are making us dinner (!) and cleaning up and playing cards with us. How sweet is that? So the crazy day turned out alright in the end. And I've got to finish that novel I started on my Kindle app for the iPhone soon...
