What a week! These past couple months might be the busiest I’ve ever had, and that’s saying something, considering my propensity to overcommit…

Even the weekends aren’t really relaxing. This Saturday, we spent the day driving to Shawn’s new place, helping him move into his new place, and driving back from his new place. We were exhausted when we got home, so we pretty much just crashed.

Yesterday, Sunday, I had to prepare communion during the first part of Sunday school, go to the quickie choir rehearsal before church started, put together two huge pans of baked beans for our after-church cookout (which I was in charge of organizing) and throw them in the oven during the beginning of the service, rush back in for the anthem (the choir part of the service), then leave the service right after communion to copy maps for folks driving to the cookout. Then I spent the afternoon being in charge of the cookout – setup, clean-up, what goes where, when things happened, etc. – and taking pictures for the website. I found time, though, to play a couple of rounds of Ultimate with the boys. =)

Today, I should be working. After all, I only get paid for the hours I work (unlike some other employed folk who get paid for being sick, for going on vacation, and for not working on federal holidays). I just can’t seem to get around to it, though. This morning, I’ve been doing things that need to get done – like dishes, fixing some things online, and updating the church website. I don’t really feel badly about it – I’ll get some work in, though not a whole day – and I get to relax a little. I’ve been feeling more and more like I need a break – there’s only so much doing and doing you can take before you have to rest.
