We were out late last night, and for some reason that has translated into complete and utter exhaustion today. It doesn't make sense! We only stayed up an hour later than usual! Maybe it's a warning against ever trying to stay up for an entire night (like on December 23rd) again ( Read more... )

We had a really great sacrament meeting where our bishop spoke for a few minutes about New Year's resolutions. He said a thing that's kind of obvious, but that doesn't really occur to you until it's pointed out. ...I mean, it didn't really occur to me. Maybe it's occurred to everyone else. Anyway, it's this: When you do something you've never ( Read more... )

We had our ward Christmas party today, and it was pretty nice. They had the young men and young women do a little Nativity play with Christmas carols for the audience to sing, like, while Mary and Joseph were "walking to Bethlehem." The lady planning the party came to me last week and was like, "Has anybody asked you to play the piano for this? ( Read more... )

Well, we took some time off to go to Disneyland with friends, and of course we completely wore ourselves out physically, but we had a great time and I think we're recovering fairly well ( Read more... )

The weather's fever has finally broken, the temperatures are downright pleasant, and we are dying significantly less than we were yesterday and the day before. Good thing, too, because we had so much work to do. Every single one of our simulpubs came in...not that there are actually that many of them, but more than two is kind of a lot to do in a ( Read more... )

In case anyone was dying from the suspense, the mystery about the new batch of hymns was solved this morning when we got a correction email, informing us that the batch will be released on September 12. We have plans to be at Disneyland with friends that day, so here's hoping I can download it early like I did last time ( Read more... )

Today Athena and I both got a mysterious email... I mean, we know where it came from and everything, but it was mysterious because it told us there was a new batch of hymns available in the Church music channels. They just released some music in May (I wrote a post about it), but they said they would be releasing batches every few months, and it ( Read more... )

We just finished the Entertainment District arc of Demon Slayer, and my goodness this series. We have very mixed feelings about it, because the action is very cool-looking and exciting, but the battles just go on and on and on forever and ever and ever. Normally, we'd be like, "Well, that was fun, but now I'm tired of fighting and we can stop ( Read more... )

The only problem I had with going out of town to visit family and see our niece and nephew's play this weekend is that we'll be leaving tomorrow, and tomorrow is the day the new hymns were supposed to be released. See, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been using the same hymnal for...wow, about forty years, and now they're ( Read more... )

Oh man, the last two days have been unreasonably stressful. As in, they have me stressed out to the point of wanting to stay in bed forever out of sheer physical exhaustion because it's affecting me that much, but when I think about it logically, it's annoying but not really that big a deal...or is it? I don't even know ( Read more... )
