Wednesday

Task planning at home.
Morning Prayer in the cathedral. Brief check-in with Fr Tucker, newly at the reins (and I say this with great gratitude) of St Paul’s Cathedral as Interim Provost.
Prepared for the celebration of the midday Mass (preparing the missal, preparing and printing the readings, mentally laying out a homily).
Took a first pass by the readings for Proper 13 (August 3), in preparation for my homily when I visit St James’ Chapel, Marion.
Began to work on notes to clergy and spouses with July birthdays and anniversaries.
Presided and preached at the midday Mass.
Lunch from McDonald’s, eaten and home. (Still grieving the loss of hot mustard sauce for my McNuggets).
Completed the clergy nodal event cards.
Went back home to get some time on the treadmill, but was waylaid by a phone call from a friend, so the walk never happened.
Left at 4:30, with Brenda, for Urbana, when we enjoyed a lovely dinner at the home of John and Linda Buzard (members and musicians at St John’s Chapel there). Home right around 11.
