Wednesday

Usual weekday AM routine. MP in the cathedral. Apprised the Archdeacon of last nights could-have-been-so-much-worse fire at Emmanuel, Champaign.
Tied down some dangling travel arrangements.
Attended to two items that have been in my task system for a long time but have always gotten triaged out on any given day. I’ve gotten tired of seeing them keep popping up. Both involved small favors for a lay person–one inside the diocese and one outside.
Sat with my notes on the readings for Lent III until they gave birth to a homiletical message statement (an indicative mood statement of good news, without any subordinate clauses, negatives, or imperatives–it’s a discipline that has served me well). This is in preparation for preaching at St Andrew’s, Carbondale on March 4.
Began my routine monthly project of writing notes to clergy with nodal evens in the following calendar month.
Took an early lunch at home (leftovers) in order to keep a 12:30 physical therapy appointment (back issues). Home for a bit of email processing before heading to a 2:00 *psycho*-therapy appointment. A healing day for body and mind!
Back in the office: Finished the note-writing task I’d started before lunch. Writer’s cramp.
Attended to some work in preparation for General Convention.
Looked over a financial report from the Society of King Charles the Martyr (I’m on the board).
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
