I don't know why I feel the way I do...
So tired. Went up to power nap after Mass and again got up with no energy. Trying to hydrate. Hopefully I'll feel better.
In other news... Spoke to Fr. I before Mass. How did he start? He didn't outright say anything that made me think he was rejecting me. But he made a comment as if I seemed disappointed? I didn't feel so... Did my expression subtly change? Either way, his plan was to set aside a weekend where I and others can give away free books, rosaries, etc. He then mentioned me manning a table... "I know you're shy." I definitely made at face at that point, but I said / felt it was a good idea. He then said he couldn't outright accept them because they'd most likely sit in a back room for years. Anyway, I walked away feeling good. But now the "evil" thoughts are creeping in. I know me... And the books are just gonna sit there again. I have doubts about getting others to gather stuff for the taking, esp if we're talking about religious goods. Who wants that "junk"? Like I can just imagine people bringing crap they get in the mail. And what? I'm gonna have to come in / stay after every Mass on that weekend. Sit there and explain what the book is to passerbys? It's not like it's crates of books. It's only 8. Add to that... Left the house this AM and Mom asked me if it had an imprimatur. "I don't think so." Mom then tried to tell me what that means. "I know what that is." "Maybe that's why Fr. I..." Like he didn't say that. He said he had a plan he wanted to share with me. Once again... Mom immediately poo poo's it. Doesn't support me / shoots things down. Yeah, so in addition my mood isn't so great. cc 7500centfish
I don't even think I have much else to write. The #SundayMassTweet was mostly about the Holy Week schedule. Reconciliation Monday, Chrism Mass is on Tues. I might have to set my DVR and watch later. I like to play "Spot the Priest". I've never seen Fr. I there, but I've seen our deacon, in addition to Fr. Rudy and that priest I don't like... Holy Thursday. He mentioned processing the Eucharist to a "new chapel". I suspect it will be *the* new chapel. Where they have confession now. He mentioned that all over the world Good Friday is the only day in which there is no Mass. Said we should make it a point to go to the cemetery on Good Friday or Holy Saturday. I laughed saying Queens in coming on Sun for that reason. Mom then said, "OK" as if I was asking her... But then she said so Queens doesn't have to rush or wait for us while we're at Mass? Oh yeah, he did welcome those who had come. Church was fuller than usual. Not overflowing... Someone was in our seat and we left even earlier! What is this!?! But he said to bring extra palm leaves for those who couldn't attend, either out of sickness, fear or maybe they're far from God.

I was watching a vid. I don't even remember who... But he was talking about how Asian Americans are the most privileged group socioeconomically and then even went through a breakdown. Indian Americans are no 1 with like 100K annual income, Filipino is 2nd at maybe 90K. Then... Either Vietnam or Thailand? China is 4th.
Been bingeing on Band of Brother first watch reaction vids.
Text. Lol. I texted 7500centfish the light upstairs isn't IOL. I was then disappointed she didn't ask me what IOL was. I then sent her this vid. And she said she remembered the clip and that's why she didn't ask.
