I am still recovering from Easter; I am not certain when I actually got to bed last night, but I did not budge until the afternoon alarm, which awakens those on the three to eleven shift.  From there, I stumbled around a bit, trying to find my voice (I am battling an upper respiratory infection, and with the aid of the marvelous tropical fruit flavored Cold-Eze™ zinc and C drops I seem to be winning, but please don’t ask me to sing tonight).  Before I’d really figured out what I was doing, I was informed that I had to take a truckload of empty boxes to a frequently helpful friend half an hour away who is moving.

Thus it was after seven before I was actually on the road to take my mother-in-law shopping and deliver my son to his brother’s house for work tomorrow.  It seems both of them need me again tomorrow–she because she has run out of checks and did not realize it today until it was too late to get to the bank, he because he is working tomorrow morning and then off again for several days.  I’ll lose a few hours to that, but it will be good to have him home.

Home is where I finally found myself at one in the morning.  I immediately did the last thing I do each night, posting to the Corinthians list, so that I would not have to do it when I finished whatever I managed to do.  I then came here.  I have not yet done the e-mail, and possibly I won’t; given my condition, I might not finish the forum–but I have already opened it, so I will at least start it.  We’ll see how far the second wind in my sails carries me.

I did a bit of editing on the Faith and Gaming book.  I had expected merely to read a few of the articles while getting dressed and eating lunch, but in reading I found places where I needed to add footnotes, delete extra line breaks, and make a minor correction or two.  So today is not completely without progress.
