I have not felt very well this week and so I kept close to home.
On Monday, I met someone for confession and then had the 11am Mass. The rest of the time, I stayed in my room going through stuff.
On Tuesday, the daughter of an elderly man whom I brought into the church last year, picked me up and drove me to Georgetown Hospital. I went to anoint his wife, who has since died. It was a lovely death with her children singing “Silent Night” in German to her. I think her funeral will be next Wednesday. Please keep Luise and Bill and their family in your prayers.
I had exposition and the 5:30pm Mass and after a light dinner, I went to bed.
On Wednesday, I had the 8am Mass, which surprised a lot of people and then I drove over and had lunch with a dear friend and we caught up on things. I went to Kmart and bought two pillows. I have come to like the pillows in hotels and so I have been meaning to get some since my trip to Wisconsin. I tried them out that night and am very pleased.
On Thursday, which is my DAY OFF, I went shopping, which I really don’t lilke. A group of us from St. Camillus Teen Club are getting together on Saturday and I went to buy my part of the refreshments. I forgot that this is a terrible time of year to go into stores – there were piles of candy for Holloween (and on sale!) so I got some.
I think that was too much sugar and I went to bed early.
Today, I stayed in my suite all day and got together lots of photos to take to Maggie’s this weekend and let them look through them. It took all day because there were pictures of the Thank You party and Brother Mort and Regina Mancuso and cousin Catherine Jensen. I’d see a picture and go off and day dream. Such wonderful memories. I also put together some stuff for the ladies’ fair in November.
I just came upstairs from a delightful dinner with Bishop Holley, his nephew, Vincent, and five seminarians as well as the priests in the house. Some of the seminarians are part of a basketball team that comes to parishes with schools and plays against them. They also give some testimony about their vocations. It is a very popular program. It was good to be with them all. They have now headed over to the game but I’m ready to do some more cleaning and tomorrow I still have a few more things to pick up before the gahering.
Tomorrow night, I’ll go to Maggie’s and spend the night. On Sunday, I will concelebrate at the 10am Mass at St. Michael’s. It is the 95th anniversary of the school. I’ll spend the night at Maggie’s and come back on Monday.
I also got my car cleaned out and found the cover for my Ipad, which I thought I had left in Wisconsin. I also found behind my chair, the photo album, which I was looking for before the trip. It has lots of seminary photos. If I learn how to put photos “on line”, I’ll do some of them.
So now you know what I’ve been up to. I’m feelling better. Good night
Glad to hear you will be at St. Michael’s for the school’s 95th!
It was so good to see you yesterday at St. Michael’s. Thank you for coming. Sr. Mary Rita was delighted to see you again! She travels back to Hartford tomorrow.
