Last night was not good for me. You know how it can be when you go to a different place and have a bed that is not yours. And pillows that are not the type you use. Well, that made for a long night for me. I was moving from my single bed to the recliner and back again. After my move around 11:45 p.m., I drifted off to sleep — finally — only to be awakened because the bozo in the room before me set the alarm for midnight! 😮
I was up early as well which made me tired but also made me available to walk over to Archabbey Church for morning Mass at 7:30 a.m. I like to go to Mass first thing in the morning on retreat.
I napped a bit in the early afternoon because of the lack of sleep last night. Then, Fr. Brian and I decided to go to Jasper for dinner and the Schnitzelbank. Two problems: (1) 162 was a MESS as they are configuring a major intersection for an even more major roundabout. We had to detour to get into Jasper and that took some time away from our initial trek. Then , when we finally got into Jasper, (2) the freaking restaurant was closed. There was a sign on their door that said they would be closed for the Fourth of July weekend through Monday, the 6th.
So, we had to find another restaurant which wasn’t easy because so many others were closed as well. We finally ended up at a Chinese buffet in Jasper.
I’m back at the retreat house now and am going to call it an early night. I hope to make up for the sleep I didn’t get last night. Wish me luck.
Oh, yeah . . . I’m remembering all of you in my prayers. 🙂
