As always I sleepily, albeit furiously, hit my phone’s trackpad to ‘snooze’ the alarm. I’ve found a way to do that seconds after the alarm goes off without opening my eyes. Come on, 6:30 a.m. was way too early to be up after such a filled day yesterday. Thanks to the hosts at the wedding I attended, I had broken my diet. Or isn’t it easier to blame them?
I finally crawled out of bed at 9:30 a.m., and then began the rush to make it to Church before 10:a.m. Before you ask, the church is not next door. I got there 15 minutes late, not too bad I’ll say. Mass was beautiful. The sermon was amazing, the choir chose to render the hymns and choruses melodiously today (I don’t sing well, but if you choose to join the choir, I expect you to be terrific. No excuses). There was some announcement about a Singles Seminar slated for next Sunday. The guys seemed serious about getting the youngies ‘hooked’ this year. Good as that is, it reminds me of how our society sometimes puts pressure on us to get married ASAP. Like a friend once said, the same way older people tug at my arm at weddings telling me that I’m next, I’ll tug at theirs at funerals and say “You’re next”.
Back to today. My family and I left church with hunger pangs playing bass beats in our bellies. Some famous creamery was just a few blocks away, so we stopped over. I need to explain here that I’m on a diet, so ice cream is the biggest sin of all. I should have stayed in the car. But no, the temptation was way too strong. Considering that ice cream is one of my favourite things in the world, I’ll give myself a thumbs-up for even trying to resist the temptation. I’ll be back on my fruit and veggies diet tomorrow, so all will be well with the world again.
After my regular Sunday siesta, the reality of the impending gloom of Monday hit me! Well, I have to go prepare for work, this job pays the bills. At least some of them.
