No new snow and temps above freezing first thing in the morning was a good way to begin as I crept cautiously along the back deck. Success! I didn't even mind sitting and waiting for my bus to arrive. I got to church at 9:30 with plenty of time to relax.
Today's feature in the examination of Jesus' Prayer was from a Buddhist interpretation from the original Aramaic. The passage beginning with "Give us this day our daily bread" was transformed by Rev. Jeff into "Eat. Pray. Love" and, as he'd watched the Oscars, there was a bit on Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. We're doing a Reel Theology Series again this year, but I fear I will be hopelessly bewildered as I haven't seen a movie in years. Sigh.
Anyway, despite the pain (the pills were sluggish to work), I was happy to be on duty. Our performer today was another one from "Come From Away". Yay! After the service, church-John and our mutual brined Brian were reading the dosage off the back of my Robax bottle - in FRENCH!!! It was hilarious. And c-J finay found out that I can't just take a couple more as often as I'd like. Silly wabbit.
I also got a chance to talk to a new friend. From our last conversation, I was under the impression that she lived in rent-geared-to-income building not too far from me. Ha, not so fast, blondie! She old me what she's paying and I almost fainted. Luckily, she's a nurse and has a good take-home salary. So, back to more networking for me.
When I got in, SuM gave me the prezzie from her Costa Rica trip. She only got home at 5 a.m. Saturday. Ouch. I haven't opened it yet but it's an orange liqueur. Yummy. I watched last night's SNL even though it was a pre-Christmas repeat. Then I just went into twilight mode in bed while listening to the murmur of French storytelling. Later, I delighted in Mahler night with, I believe, his Symphony in D.
Okay, I'm worn out. Time for pills and a little reading.
