Saturday's This-'n'-That

After Matins, this morning I took a leisurely start to the day - made some delicious low-carb pancakes (2 eggs, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup protein powder, 1/4 tsp baking powder and 1/8 tsp salt, and stirred in some blueberries for good measure) and enjoyed coffee.  Totally forgot the Alhambra Hamel Ministerial Alliance, which I'd have had to miss even if I remembered it because I hadn't figured out yet Sunday's sermon; drew up prayers for this weekend; readied the nave and set up the Sacrament; lunch with Cindi and David (Cin made burgers with spinach, dill, feta and tomato, topped with cheese and a slice of fresh tomato - outstanding); over to Greenville for a hospital visit; communion to homebound; dinner; Vespers; Divine Service; total rewrite of sermon - hey, that's what Saturday service is for! - run off new copies and put in church; ready for Sunday.  Whew!
