Ouch

There are times when I seriously question my own sanity.

I am aching all over from being my own roadie all day and from hauling my keyboard, keyboard stand, music stand and heavy hymn book from home, to work, to all places at work where I was destined to use it, and home again. On the bus. This being a car-less household.

Despite my aches, it was well, well worth it!! A good days work, in many ways. If a little, um, unorthodox, shall we say?

I came home to a liturgical planning meeting. We were not quite quorate, owing to a certain amount of idiocy (not mine for once!) but decided to go ahead, and still managed to get a lot of work done. Use of a conveyor belt to enable liturgical movement was rejected. We contemplated googling "dishevelled black rook" but decided to allow our techie bod to have the fun of doing it instead. It's an interesting little group of us who meet to plan these occasional creative services, and I always enjoy the meetings very much.

I started the annual attempt at keeping my Christmas Card list under control. I was ruthless, and didn't write cards for a number of people who I do only hear from at Christmas. And, as is customary, I've had a card from most of them already! Some sad news in some of them too, so I've got letter writing to do.

New variation on the phone calls to find out my address. I do move a lot. This year, from reasons I'd rather not think about, I am the reluctant possessor of a mobile phone. So, I've had five texts, all sheepishly admitting the same thing. I dislike texting immensely. They all know it. And I have a long address, that uses lots of inconsiderate letters. Humph.

Time to fill a hot water bottle to apply to very achy bits of me! I'd have a bath, but the noisiness of the water tank refilling dicates that it would be inconsiderate to do so at this time.
