Even more important - see me fix Brita pitcher first thing in the morning! What a relief. I'm lucky that parts merely flew off when it fell twice to the floor, but nothing leaked. So I washed everything and reassembled it.
There was a layer of snow on the ground when I left but no wind. I arrived at church at 9:30, glad to be early. It was a very special day because Brent was the guest preacher, covering the next two lines of the Lord's Prayer. He and John sat in front of me. It was a wonderful service and many people had come because Brent was there. Amazingly enough, our organist needed to keep upping the volume during our singing of the Lord's Prayer because there were so many people present. After the service, Brent was his usual naughty, teasing self with me. Aww, I miss that. What I also missed was the ::growls in frustration:: the traditional accompaniment to my second fave hymn, "It Is Well With My Soul" because our new music director decided to jazz up the piano. Arrgghh. This was written by a man who'd just lost his wife and family in a shipwreck!!!
Had a lot of time to waste after the service. Jan snagged me some truffles from the dessert table. My ride home arrived at 1:23 and we were on our way. Even though I've put off writing my "confession" on FB, I checked in after an absence of many weeks with a very brief description. Then I took it easy for the rest of the day. Watched last night's SNL and have been listening to the French station continuously. Right now, it's playing Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony". I still have mixed feelings about the piece - and him - but I vividly recall playing it … in 1969!!!
I've swallowed all of my pills and am thinking about bed. I'm also thinking of writing at least one short fic for the Romancing McShep communicy (for Valentine's month). Anyway, I'm happy about all the good things that happened today.
