Yay, spring!
And also, YAY amych!
Talk of Easter had me looking up pictures of the Easter Sunrise Service at Old Salem. It's a thing. The Moravian Band plays (as it does at Christmas Candlelight Lovefeast), people gather in the square by Christ Church and follow the band to God's Acre (stumbling over the brick sidewalks in the pre-dawn), the Moravian cemetery, where all the gravestones are identical flat white marble. The congregants arrange themselves to wait for the sun to breach the horizon, singing hymns and praying.
God's Acre has gates, brick pillars with a white-painted arch between them, scripture quotes lettered across the arch. My favorite one, tucked up under century old trees and giving onto the sidewalk along a row of 160 year old row houses, says, "Till the Day Break" on entry. And, "And the Shadows Flee Away" on exit.
I am consumed with fond nostalgia.
I've been in meetings all morning. I just have one more left and then I'm going to slack off for a little while and do more computer research. There's one I'm looking at where I can get Windows 7, but it wouldn't ship until the 14th.
Ugh. My migraine had eased up overnight, but now it's back (the weather is INSANE right now, and my poor head has surrendered). I have to run to the grocery store, and then I am going to take ALL THE DRUGS that I possibly can (within safe limits) and then watching CA:TWS with the sound down low.
Maybe I'll get a Reese's Easter egg at the grocery store. I'm sure it would make me feel better.
Chip in paint on railing, fixed! And you can actually sit in the seats in my car.
Loki had enough outside time to morph into a growling wildcat.
Lest you think I'm too good at adulting, last night I took my recycling down, but failed to put it at the curb. WTF?
The good news is my coat rack arrived from UPS yesterday, and it unexpectedly has a marble base that's WAY too heavy for my cats to knock over. The bad news is it arrived without the wrench or the tines that the coats are supposed to hang from, so right now it's a loosely assembled extra-tall umbrella stand.
you just have to wait until she is back.
Our registrar (who is the only one who can register students, posts grades, do incomplete contracts and degree audits ) is going out for surgery with no back-up. The plan has her working from home part-time as she can.
Oh, like that isn't going to end in tears this time of year.
No redundancy or training for coverage is HORRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICE.
Big air pressure change = headache from hell. I realized I haven't really eaten today so I just took some Ibuprofen (can't take the good stuff until I finish work) and heated up some lunch. Once work is done, if this is still pounding, it is off to bed for me.
The weather has been beautiful over the last week. Today/tomorrow we are expecting snow. Not on, April, not on.
