...Where I Am.
She’s gone to bed, which is good, because now I can go to bed. I worry too much.
This has been the best Easter ever… well I guess it doesn’t beat the one where I was welcomed as a member of the church and baptized by the only minister I had ever known, but still…
I tried to get people to dye eggs with me, but everyone said they were too busy. I started dying alone, and people showed up. Someone left an anonymous message on an egg for me to find later. When I saw it it touched me so much that I actually started crying.
At midnight my cake wasn’t yet out of the oven, so I shared a spoonful of cake batter with a fellow sweet-giver-upper. He came. The cake was glorious. I didn’t even make it--it came from a mix--but it was oh, so good.
Four of us played Kings and the most pointed game of “I Have Never” I have ever played. It was great. No one even tried to veil comments about others. As a result no new secrets were learned, but we all managed to get drunk.
The service this morning was amazing. We sang “Christ the Lord is Risen Today,” one of my favorite hymns. Jokes were told that were actually funny. The preacher hugged me and invited me to eat with the congregation. I left the service pumped. “Forget school. I want to minister to the needy. I want to heal the sick. I want to help souls in need!” I heard my mother’s voice in my head saying “God wants you to be educated, Lucy.” Scary. Oh my, scary.
I looked mighty cute in my Easter dress.
I called my grandparents’ house a few minutes before play practice and got to talk to my family. Aunt Annie (the aunt I’m named after) answered the phone and we both thought the other person was my mother. Also scary. Oh my, scary. I’d like to think it’s because I have a cold right now.
After play practice I hid almost three dozen dyed Easter eggs about the house and a small band of willing Agnostics humored me and hunted them.
Some other stuff happened as well, but I don’t think I’m ready to put it into words, so I’ll save it for later.
I guess the best thing that happened today would really have to be Christ rising from the dead, but the passive-aggressive “I Have Never” game ranks almost as high on that list.
