mid-week

Have 15 mins. before prayer group begins. May just be me and the leader/convenor, and that's OK. It's our time to catch up and get centered together. Walked to a min-grocery nearby to see if they had buttermilk (they don't -- what was I thinking?) -- tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day and I thought I might bake some Irish soda bread.... Yesterday was Ides of March, none of the youngsters I mentioned it to knew what I was talking about....

Oldest heads to Scotland for a week (four choral performances) a week from today. Youngest's birthday party is this weekend. Mom is doing well -- good MRI -- though she is still forgetful and has some trouble with words -- still feels like "her" when we talk. Small home improvements happening -- but mostly ongoing mess to contend with. Need to euthanize the 12-year-old dog sooner rather than later -- that will be difficult, but also liberating...

School work is OK. Midterms are done. Now need to gear up for final push of finals, and then need to start "worrying" about CPE. I begin May 31st (? I think) and have to be away from hubby and kids for 3 weeks. Ought to be a difficult and also liberating time for me...

Bible study tonight on Acts. Will need to prep for that at home this afternoon (after prayer group, after grocery shopping). Also need to reschedule the therapy appt. I missed -- figure I should do at least one this month and at least one in April.... Maybe will not harp on that at my CPM annual review so I don't "have" to do it again next year....

Waiting for ordination exam results April 1st (ha ha) -- also the date of my next Greek exam.... 'Nuff for now -- better dash.
