Tuesday

on April 12, 2016
- Devotions in the cathedral, Morning Prayer in the office.
- Sat down with Sue to review the proposed contract with our new database software provider in advance of a conference call.
- Attended to some logistical issues pertaining to an upcoming ordination.
- Got with Sue again, this time to look over the proposals she has gathered for the purchase of new office equipment: computers, wifi upgrade, and a network copier/printer/scanner.
- Participated in the conference call with our database provider. Resolved our questions and agreed on a plan going forward.
- Made some final tweaks, formatted, and printed my homily for this Sunday (Chapel of St John the Divine, Champaign).
- Went home as if for lunch, though I couldn’t actually have lunch, owing to the need to fast in preparation for a medical screening procedure tomorrow morning. From a mental health standpoint, it just seemed good to break up the day in a familiar manner.
- Responded one by one to a fairly substantial stack of tasks generated by emails–i.e. stuff from before today already in the queue.
- Spent some prayerful time with the readings, and commentaries thereon, for Trinity Sunday, in initial preparation for preaching on that feast at St Andrew’s, Carbondale.
- Left the office a bit early in order to go home and take some prescribed medication at a prescribed time–again, in preparation for tomorrow morning’s tests.
