The one thing I do appreciate about taking Monday off is that it leaves me excited about Tuesday because I know I'll be busy; I am anticipating the opportunity to get back to work (I know, I know) Technically, I didn't take Monday completely off. Shhh... I taught Confirmation class last night. Last night was our last class...the next time we meet we'll be rehearsing for Confirmation Sunday on April 18.
Between that and getting up at 5:30AM this morning, I was pretty beat. It wasn't until I looked on my to-do list application on my phone that I realized how much I really had to do today. My total work time was shrunk by the fact that I had to meet with my clergy mentor as I prepare for my yearly meeting with the District Committee on Ministry. It was a wonderful meeting and it was great to see Lucretia again, but it did take away from my work day.
I made some great progress on the to-do list today. But, it was the technology stuff that got me messed up. I was trying to work on the website and nothing was working with it. The formatting is off, fonts are matching and I accidentally deleted some stuff. After 20 futile minutes up not making any progress, I finally just stopped! I greatly enjoy that we have a website and I think it is a wonderful way to keep the community informed about what we are doing. But, it takes up a lot of time to keep updated.
I have really had some lessons in long-range planning and prioritizing those things that need to get done. This was the first day where I wasn't able to get done everything that I wanted to get done. It's hard to believe there was a time when I wondered what I would do to fill up the day...today it felt like there was too much! It is good to know that I will stay busy, and find a way to manage everything. :-D
