- iphone shopping! Just debating contracts and plans and providers. But will definitel become the owner of one sometime in the next year (pending a contract that doesn't expire for 7 months yet if I decide I do indeed want to change providers.)
- It was house church night. And the night once a month where we all contribute and have a meal together. There was so much food. And it was GOOD!
- Got a hug, too, from a girl there. I'll have to tell her sometime how much I appreciate those hugs goodbye once a week as I head out the door. With so many of the friends from whom I collect hugs far away, and being one who appreciates touch, it means a lot to get that hug every week or two.
- Had a full sized "Kit Kat" bar today - haven't done that in ages. Still one of my all-time favorites.
- Had a productive day at work. I'm up to my neck in details for the conference we have coming up just after Easter, and today was a day full of details, but I feel like I made some headway on them, even if my "to do" list didn't necessarily get as many checkmarks as I would have liked.

Daily 5 - Day 211
Today's Daily 5:
Trip Hazard
I loved the newest cartoon at nakedpastor this morning. Because, yes, the cross has definitely often felt like a tripping hazard.
Star Wars Alpacas
I came across this one this morning, and while truly ridiculous, it made me laugh pretty hard!
Routine
This remains a sort of plodding week.
So I'm sticking to the routines that have served me well, and just trying to move through the days.
Worship or a sermon on the bus in the morning (thankful for an ipod, and, as much as I miss my car for the convenience of it, for the commutes to and from work, I've been enjoying not having to watch the road. I may stick with the train several days a week, even after getting a car.)
An audio book (or sometimes a sermon) on the train on the way home.
Playing a game online at lunch, and then a trivia game online with a coworker to end the lunch hour.
Home. Quiet. Emails and maybe chatting online or a phone call.
Trying to make space to read.
The few little "certain" engagments of the week, like house church.
And looking for moments of joy.
I know that routine isn't always helpful.
But sometimes it lets me survive until I can thrive again.
