Thursday

Morning Prayer as dawn broke … followed by tea, breakfast, crossword, email culling, Facebook scanning, task planning, shower.
Greeted a radiator/boiler repair guy and reviewed the issues we have in our building, and in each unit. Steam heat is endearing, but exotic.
Made serious progress developing a homily for the institution of Fr Morsch in Edwardsville on the 16th.
Walked the three blocks to the Swedish Covenant Health complex for a physical therapy appointment.
Lunched on leftovers.
Churned out another section of my in-progress pastoral teaching document on marriage and sexuality.
Took a long, brisk walk with Brenda as temps began to plummet.
Evening Prayer with Brenda.
Fixed a chicken fajita-ish dish for dinner.
Packed and his the road southbound at 7:10. Strong, gust wind the whole way slowed progress, so I didn’t make record time. Pulled into the diocesan garage right at 11:00.
