What a great day!
I (completely on purpose) slept through all three of my classes this morning. Yes, it was totally premeditated and I am unashamed. The classes weren't worth attending today, in my opinion, especially when considering how tired I've been and how much I needed to just take a little time to relax. So, that's exactly what I did. It was quite beautiful, in fact. Then I woke up at about 11:30 (yes, THAT late!), and made a nice breakfast/lunch (brunch?) for myself. Then I went shopping for really random things like a new toothbrush, crickets, Halloween candy dishes and a Strawberries 'n' Creme Frappuccino. Yum. It was quite fun, just wandering around. I talked with Sister Mary Gabriel for a long time about her visit out here to Loras, and got really excited about it. Also, I got a care package in the mail from the people back home at work! They are too good to me. :) Anyway, it was really great. Then I came back, cleaned out Sophia's cage, read Mindy some books (one in Spanish - "Huevos Verdes con Jamon"!!). The flatmates ordered pizza and we bonded. Then we had bible study which, quite quickly, turned into an ice cream eating festival - I shared an enormous banana split with Mindy. It was delish. Then came time to read "Pride and Prejudice". After that I went to Mass, and here I sit. I did nothing of purpose today, and I couldn't be happier about it. Sometimes, we need a day like that. :)
And...I am really envious. My two greatest friends, Elizabeth and Annie, are BOTH going to be in Nashville Oct 22-23 for the retreat with the sisters. And I'll be here in Dubuque. How sad is that? How I wish I could be there with them. :(
Caritas et veritas.
