11:56am

Good morning! It's almost noon, the time of day where I'm not sure what you say- good day? Cause you can't say good afternoon until 1:00 . . . unless anything after 12:00 sharp is afternoon? I don't really know.

I wanted to write on Sunday or Monday but things have been, not exactly hectic, but somehow it's already Wednesday. 

The sun is shining and it's getting warmer and warmer every day. Sort of, maybe more like every 3 weeks, but anything above 15F is warm enough to get me outside. 

On Sunday we went to church for the first time in months. That's always how it is. We used to be driving 2 1/2 hours just to get to a good church. We did that for 2 years, and it was kind of awful. But I'm not going to complain about it because we have it really good, even if it means driving 2 1/2 hours, that's a small price to pay, indeed, when compared with what many others suffer for the Gospel.

It was really small, the whole thing. There were max 20 people including us, and we take up about a 1/3-1/2 of the congregation. The service was extremely lowkey and felt pretty old fashioned and it was a refreshing little service. I guess this is where the wheels stop for now, and it's only 40 minutes away. I don't have to get up at 5:45 in the morning to get ready and fear falling asleep every service. I don't even have to get up until 9:30 if I didn't want to. 

We sang Amazing Grace, which I'm not used to singing outside of camps, and it always makes me cry, ever since i was 11 years old. I can't sing it without welling up, so i guess i should change my sentence- i can't even sing it. My tears choke me until the very last verse and I struggle much to get through the song. But that's not an insult to it, if anything it's a compliment.

I have not been able to watch my show for 4 days now, and it's taking its toll on me. I really want to get on with it. My sister comes back tonight, and then we can resume. That will be a huge relief for me. 

It will be 51F today and I'm so happy. I can't wait for summer. For once I hope it will be calm and peaceful. I don't want wind and noise. I don't want summer headaches. I want the atmosphere to resemble the weather and be warm and quiet. 

Good afternoon, everybody - here are some songs for the replay before I go : )
