It feels like it is so much later then 8:51. I have expended all of my energy and I am so ready for bed. I still don 't quite understand how the 'day of rest' in which I do no work can be so tiring. But add General Conference to the mix and then a house full of family for several hours and you have a formula for exhaustion. I also believe that my pain pills do add to it as well. My shoulder has been quite comfortable today, but I have really been gun shy. For some reason I am not very comfortable with the idea that it is getting better this fast, and I am really quite tentative in the way I treat it. Despite my complaining it has really been a very nice day. I was able to ease my way into the day and take my time getting up and going. Then I took a long shower where I gave myself a shave so I felt pretty good to meet the day. We were along together for the 1st session but Richard and Kathy and Robert and kids were here for the 2nd session. The rest were here by 4:30 to eat and the rest of the day was pretty much what you'd expect with a house full of 18 most of them young and energetic. About 10 minutes ago it got very quiet around here, and as soon as I could notice I worn out. I hope I can have some time with my thoughts for General Conference had some inspiring moments that I want to spend some time with. This task of better a better 'you' is quite daunting and does demand virtually everything you have and can beg, or borrow. (Stealing wouldn't be appropriate.) It certainly does demand time to ponder reflect and improve and reprove and evaluate and revise. I feel like I have enough to do in that area to keep me busy for a long time. Add that to the amount of 'work' I have waiting on my desk for morning and I feel overwhelmed before even begin. But I will give it my best shot.
