Monday's Summary

after Matins and pot of coffee, the joys of leading opening devotions in the school, teaching Luke 1:1-25 to 7-8 and then 5-6 grade, chapel at the daycare/preschool on the Annunciation with some special work on the Christmas program, workout at Y (lots of work on the stepper today - I HATE that machine!), ran off materials for pre-school Christmas program (Joanie kindly volunteered to put them together for me), grabbed a bite of leftovers (Chicken a la Shannon) for lunch and started second pot of coffee, prepared bulletin for Epiphany, touched up and resent bulletin for Christmas Day, finished off January calendar (thank you, Google Calendars!) and shipped to Joanie, worked a little on hymn-study for "Creator of the Stars of Night," and did an impromptu interview on St. Nicholas for Issues, Etc., a tad of blogging, and some work on homilies for Advent III and IV.  Will feel much better when those sermons are all finished...Luther is so unbeatable on them, though.  He just nails them both.  I didn't get a single one written today.  Grr.  Also wondering if Gary and Marilyn made it home safely, and how Clara is doing.  Need to check up on them tomorrow.
