Friday (St Vincent de Paul)

Out the door and headed southbound at 0530.
Kept an 0800 breakfast appointment with Fr Halt in Bloomington. We discussed a broad range of issues.
At the (otherwise empty) office around 1030. Spotted Fr Wells’ vehicle and went into the cathedral office to have a few words with him.
Got my computer plugged in, cleaned off my desk a bit, and otherwise got myself organized, task-wise.
Stepped out at 1115 to keep an 1130 lunch appoint in-lieu-0f-an-Ember-Day-letter with one of our postulants. This included a quite rich theological discussion of Origen of Alexandria, one of the early church fathers.
Headed down the street from there to the blood bank, where I had an appointment to donate red cells. It actually happened this time, as my hemoglobin level was not compromised, as it was the last time I tried.
Drove the YFNBmobile down to Green Mazda for some scheduled maintenance. Caught an Uber back to the office.
Met with another of our postulants for nearly two hours in one of a series of tutorial sessions in liturgics.
Prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary in the cathedral, followed by Evening Prayer.
Grabbed a dinner of chicken wings and broccoli in the Dirksen Parkway corridor. Headed back to the barn for an early bedtime. This introvert is maxed out.
