I'm worn out. This whole week has been a big push to get to this point, I feel like. Let's do a Sunday recap before I do a Monday looking ahead.

Monday night was class. I'm loving my classes still. I feel incredibly fortunate to be currently in ministry while I am in seminary. It causes me to wrestle more with issues and concepts...and, I think that it's keeping me on my critical thinking feet. I'm thinking more healthily and completely in this area.

Tuesday was work and then Dan and I went over to watch election coverage at his brother's house. Matt had some mutual friends over and we flipped back and forth between Comedy Central's election coverage and the coverage on CNN. We really liked seeing the new technology, but somehow we missed seeing the hologram interview. Celebratory drinks all around -- Gobama. Fingers crossed for January 20.

Wednesday -- long night at church. Busy night, our first night having several of our junior highers at a special practice for our musical, so there were adjustments there. Meetings in the morning, lots of projects get put to the backburner in order to plan creatively for Wednesday nights. It's frustrating to me and I'm trying to work on a better balance.

Thursday I thought I had a meeting at night but dd not end up having one. Worked until 5 and came home.

Friday, my usual day off, had our monthly big event. We had a senior high lockin, by all reports a good success. The kids are really fun, it went well. I'm so tired from it though.

Saturday, Dan and I slept for most of the late morning and afternoon. We did some house cleaning and headed out to dinner with a group of my friends from college. Several of these girls and spouses we see from time to time (or regularly) but it's rare to be able to get so many of us together. It was a fun night with lots of laughter. Even better, Julie and Chris were in town for it and came back and stayed the night in our spare bedroom. It is so much fun to catch up with those two and I wish they lived closer. Such is life.

The boiler was not on in church today and it was cold. Confirmation until 3 and then cleaning up after that took awhile.

It's been a work-heavy weekend, but really a pretty good week, considering. I've built up a little grace so I can sleep in a bit tomorrow, I'm sure. Can it really be Monday again already?
