I have been real weird today. It started when I woke up around 7:20 a.m. I just got up. I'm not quite sure why, but I got up as if I meant to. I read my scriptures and did my 42 and dressed and walked over to the church to the huge yard sale that was going on. I found that the tread mill that I had looked at last night was still there and I inquired and got a good price so I bought it. I came back home and woke Sheila up and told her what I had done. She said that she had dreamed about me buying it and paying $540.00! I told her that I paid $50.00. She felt that she could live with that, but if I had paid $540.00 then I ought not to have come home. That event started a chain of events that would change our day. Sheila had had lots of plans for the day, but now they included a virtual spring cleaning of my office. We had enjoyed a little more space for about 12 hours, but that would now be filled. But with her cleaning and moving and rearranging we did end up with more room, a cleaner room, and a new-used treadmill intended for her as much as for me. By the time that she got done with the scrub down of my office and the 'guys' delivered the item I had gone quite off the deep end. I had changed my background music from LDS hymns to Classic 89 radio from KBYU and was actually listening to opera when the delivery guys showed up. I can't explain it. I ask myself who am I and what did I do with myself? I actually enjoyed that music and will probably listen to it now as my regular background music. Imagine me and classical music! Can you believe it? I did listen to it for several hours as I got everything done for Monday that I could think of. It took me up until about 2 pm to finish and then I sat down and watched college rugby on tv. Oh, I can't remember just when the call came but Sheila said that it was someone from the Bishopric who asked us to speak at the "Wentworth" (old folks home) Branch tomorrow morning. She did not want to, but she relented and we will. (She is feeling more pressure to write a talk tonight along with her regular Saturday night chores. After she went grocery shopping (FHE meal at the top of her list) I told her that I had received a phone call for me to meet with someone from the Bishopric before our block in the morning. That surprised me and I have absolutely no idea what it will be about. I do admit that this whole day has got met feeling really weird. I feel good-weird, very much good-weird. But I don't know what to think about it. Then I read that there is a whole new church program regarding senior couple missionaries that has got some new and strange ideas running around in my head. I feel overwhelmed! Its like I can hardly wait to turn the page and see what I read next.
