So you'd think that, after yesterday, I'd sleep.

You'd think wrong. I went to bed around 11:30, setting the alarm for 7, so I could change my ride home from church. But, alas, my body (or mind) had other ideas. Arrgghh. So I was up at 5. The funny thing is that John was leaving reeeeeaaaaaallly early, so - when I went into the kitchen after he'd left to boil water for coffee - I saw the most exquisite golden-apricot sunrise. I wish I'd had the forethought to grab my camera but this was, after all, a short-sleeped and coffeeless me.

Brekkie was butter chicken with jasmine rice. And it's a good thing I remembered to place my order yesterday (yet another chore) for next week's delivery. I'm trying a couple of new dishes, including Oriental Tofu. Well, we'll see.

In the afternoon, I got around to watching the second week of the Battle of the Blades. Even though the women are paired with big strong men, it's still terrifying to see the lifts being done by guys who've never done stunts like that before. But it was fun and the couple I liked in the bottom two was safe for another week. Yay. I didn't really bother eating lunch, but had some tortilla chips with the queso salsa. Just a few nibbles.

I finally got in the shower in the early evening which felt strange, because I'd kept my window open for most of the day and I'm sure by now you know how much I hate cold air, especially after coming out of the shower. I also finally received the readings for the lector auditions tomorrow. After John came and jujed my printer so that it would actually acknowledge it was ... er ... turned on, I printed off a copy in 24 pt Verdana and bolded at that. Only then could I read it from a semi-respectable distance. I'll practise reading the passages (from Romans) again tomorrow morning.

Dinner was that gorgeously lovely Bavarian bread with cheddar cheese, a tomato and the pre-cooked eggs. Very satisfying even though it was cold. Well, let's see how brave I am tomorrow when I go outside (and hope the weather's decent). After a 2-hour nap, I've been back to reading but will have to go to bed soon. I want to be all perky for church. Oh, go ahead. Gag me with a spoon. On second thought, don't. Just tell me to take my perky self and press POST. Though, speaking of posting, I lost my additional package of userpics today because I haven't paid the renewal fee. Frankly (ha, play on words), I think it's ridiculous that LJ's PTB would give us extensions on our paid journals (mine is in a month's time) but not drag along any peripheral services. I just hope when I pay this week the icons will just come back like magic. Why, yes, I believe in magic. ::claps hands and thinks reeeeeeeeal hard::
