St. Stephen's Day!
Who went to bed at 2am and woke up before 6am? Yep, that's me. Was I dead tired? Yes. Had I just run 10 miles? Yes. Was I worried I wouldn't wake up before 11am? Yes. Did I forget to include shower time for the time I set my wake-up alarm? Yes. Did I wake up hours before I'd intended to? Of course. It must've been my angel's way of hinting that I'm not praying enough, 'cause I went to Holy Dormition and was actually there for more than 5 minutes of services.
Oh, and apparently today is St. Stephen's other feast day :-) - maybe of the finding of his relics? Not entirely sure, but all the festal hymns were to or about him this morning. So, joyous feast to all the Stephens out there! Many years!
So, the day is off to a good start, and with Starbucks and soda I believe it can continue to go well :-). Toodles...
