It's Been One Of Those Days

Before start­ing the work­day this morn­ing, I fin­ished online traf­fic school (you can do that in Cal­i­for­nia) due to a speed­ing tick­et from the end of last year. One of the more pro­found lessons I learned — and I quote — “do not dri­ve with nails in your tires.” I guess I was speed­ing because I lacked that knowl­edge. Good thing I got that cleared up.

After fin­ish­ing traf­fic school I head­ed for the show­er. Upon emerg­ing, I dis­cov­ered that Dana had very near­ly bro­ken Xan­der’s fin­ger by slam­ming the door on it. His pinky was com­pressed to about 1/4 of its nor­mal diam­e­ter and was a dull gray in col­or. Even after it returned to its nor­mal size and col­or, we were still a lit­tle wor­ried. For­tu­nate­ly, he had a sched­uled doc­tor’s appoint­ment and the doc­tor con­firmed that his fin­ger was A‑OK. And then gave him three shots. Poor guy.

On top of all that, Paula was sick.

And I got around to answer­ing a let­ter from my dis­trict ask­ing me to serve on the Par­lia­men­tary Com­mit­tee at Dis­trict Coun­cil. That’s right — the Par­lia­men­tary Com­mit­tee. I am offi­cial­ly that guy. I told them yes. If you’re invit­ed to serve then you’re already that guy

Good stuff hap­pened, too. For instance, I got to talk with a Ph.D. can­di­date about faith. She came to the Fran­cis Collins lec­ture and want­ed to fol­low up with some ques­tions. We had a great con­ver­sa­tion. I hope I was help­ful to her. She seemed quite touched when we prayed at the end of our time togeth­er.

But on the whole, it just felt like one of those days.
