Short and simple: I did too much today.
I knew that I might get myself into trouble.
I had the 8:30 a.m. Mass, an appointment afterwards, a marriage prep appointment at 11:00 a.m. and a funeral at Noon.
Then, I had 3:30 p.m. confessions and the 5:30 p.m. Mass.
After the funeral, I went to the house at 1:00 p.m. and propped my leg up for two hours before heading back to the church. Tomorrow, I get up super early to open the church and celebrate the 6:30 and 8:00 a.m. Masses. After those two Masses, I’m heading back to the house and resting, resting, resting. Staff will lock up the church after the Noon Mass so that I don’t have to come back.
I feel good about what I did today, especially the funeral as it was for a younger parishioner (mid-50’s). But my knee is not happy with me. It thought we had an understanding. 🙂
Here’s to a restful night. I think a pain pill might be in order when I turn in so that I can fall asleep right away.
