Easter Monday

Amazing range of emotions today: 1. Exhaustion -- Easter service was long and meaningful (I played my flute for perhaps a dozen musical selections during worship -- some that were in the program I did not play; some that were not in the program I did play -- had to be very flexible -- also my pastor eschewed preaching for contemporary recorded praise music and liturgical dance -- interesting) -- and then I had Easter dinner at home to finish preparing, serving, cleaning up after, and then work on a few papers due this week at school; 2. Anger -- got a flaming email from a friend who discovered something (nice!) I had written in an empty book given to her by her bible study group -- I thought she would like that I had written something nice to her when she found it one day. She found it last night, and is pissed that I disrespected her property -- though, she says, she forgives me. She also says she tore the page I wrote out of the book; 3. Sadness -- dog is getting too weak to eat or do stairs -- we have had the euthanasia discussion, but not all in the house are of like minds; 4. Fear -- ordination exam grades come out on Friday; I also have a Greek exam on Friday -- lots to worry about! Burn out...that's all for now.
