"Running out of Days"

It sure seems like it, anyway. I'm loving the work, but the last few days have been hectic:

• Prepping for our weekly bible study, and planning for Lent in general;
• Two funerals at Trinity;
• Doing double duty for liturgical planning-- two weeks' worth-- as the secretary shared by the two churches will be out several days for minor surgery;
• And finally, one of my supervisors may potentially need to be away on some emergency family business, so we also put two bulletins together for Ash Wednesday services: one based on her being here to celebrate Eucharist; and one in case she won't be, and I need to officiate.
  

It feels good to be home tonight, and I am seriously looking forward to my day off tomorrow. I can get some reading for history done while the kids are at school. This will be a fine and wonderful thing, to sit by myself in the quiet. In fact, I think I'll get a head start, by going to bed. Now.
