Tuesday (Charles Simeon)

In our domestic oratory: intercessions and Morning Prayer; then tea, breakfast, internet scanning, crossword.
Took Brenda over to Swedish Covenant hospital for a test. It’s only three blocks away, and we would normally walk, but the record cold and wind chill, along with the iced-over sidewalks, meant we drove.
Sent a substantive email to the company to which the Lambeth Conference has outsourced logistical issues, I had some non-standard questions and concerns for which I need some feedback from them.
Wrestled with my exegetical notes for the reading of Advent II and eventually wrangled a homiletical message statement from them, which will eventually become a sermon for my visitation to St Barnabas’, Havana on December 8.
Lunch from the hole-in-the-wall Chinese place around the corner, eaten at home.
Did a brisk 45 minutes on the treadmill, which is, as of the weekend, up and running for the first time since the move to Chicago.
Drafted and sent a substantive and fairly detailed email over an emerging administrative issue.
Responded to an email enquiry from the Communications Coordinator.
Attended via email to some Society of King Charles the Martyr board business.
Again, via email, took care of three small administrative issues.
Listened to/watched a YouTube presentation from one of our clergy about the fruit of her recent sabbatical.
Evening Prayer with Brenda.
