When I go through a day and don't get much time to myself I feel cheated.  It seems that I need some down time to relax and gather myself.  Today was a day where there was so much going on that I did not get that kind of time.  But in review I can't feel like I didn't get my money's worth and I'll just have to take it for what it was.  I was up before my alarm so I turned it off so it wouldn't wake Sheila.  My first thought was a new idea that came to me during my final moments before I fully woke up so I came down to the office and looked up the word "epiphany" and printed out the definition to use in my priesthood lesson.  Then I read my daily ration of scripture, turned on the shower and did my 41 push ups while the water was getting warm.  I showered and shaved and then partly dressed and had some breakfast.  I reviewed my thoughts for a few minutes and then finished getting dressed.  Sheila woke up about that time without me opening up the blinds.  I was waiting until 7:45 a.m. to do that and  wake her up, but she beat me to it.  She got up and I walked over to the church and found it unoccupied.   I figured that I would have to wait for someone with a key, but I followed a subtle 'whisper' and tried the door and found that it had been left unlocked.  I went in and opened doors and turned on lights and prepared for choir practice.  The block followed quickly and before long we were walking back home in the rain.  We had some lunch and then I went home teaching.  Shortly after that Richard and Kathy showed up and we visited until we had to ready ourselves and drive to Ogden for Nicholas' seminary graduation.  We ate sandwiches on the way, but could have waited because the 'light refreshments' would have been a meal that we passed on.  (a free mean--I should have eaten something.  Last week we missed Colton's birthday party so we stopped by there on the way home and Logan stole the card and tried to steal the money, but Colton did get the envelope.  We left the Rosbach house in about the same level of chaos as we found it a bit more tired for all of the energy we witnessed there.  We got home about 9 and just chilled and now I need to sleep in preparation of my day off which will see us back to Ogden for another Nicholas graduation ceremony.  I can only hope that it is actually only and hour and a half, which Russ says they are shooting for.  He's says that they are pretty good and keeping it 'short', but my money is on 'longer or longest' but for Nicholas....   After all, I never made it to all of my own kids high school graduation.  The world didn't end yesterday and I'm sure that it won't end tomorrow, so I'll live to write again tomorrow night and like I said:  for Nicholas!!
