Ran my miles, this morning and yesterday, which makes this the first time in two weeks that I’ve run three days in a row. Thank you, weather and obligations and other considerations! My time is still on the slow side, but the last two days I’ve run fifteen seconds faster each day, so I’m regaining some of the ground I lost due to the heat wave layoff.
Yesterday was interview day for the Team Vicar post at the parish; we’ll see how that all turned out in a few days, I hope. Today I’ll work on my homily for tomorrow’s communion service at St Helen’s; I have the midday communion Thursday at St Michael’s, too, but they don’t have a homily at that service. We have a Marriage Preparation session tomorrow night at the Parish Centre (come one, come all). The Rector is on holiday for the beginning of July, so this would be the time for me to stage a coup, but I’m too busy with other needful tasks, and I discovered my absolute incapacity for Machiavellian scheming in secondary school.
Oh, and I registered for SNTS yesterday! It will be held in Durham this year, and since that’s so nearby — and since I’ll miss BNTS because I’m officiating at a wedding — Margaret gave permission on the home front, and the Rector on the parish front, for me to attend. (Actually, Jen pointed out to me that it’s Continuing Ministry Development for me, which I had entirely forgotten about.) The website was persnickety about our credit cards, but I finally hit one that the site liked, and off I go.
