It ended with sitting infront of the fireplace with a decaf chai while gabbing with a friend.

My week.  What a ridiculous 6 days!!!!!  When I look back on it, I give Jesus all the credit for keeping me sane and enveloping me in an Angie-sized grace bubble.

Sunday - I attended both church services as I served by running the Propresenter.  From church I went and prayed with a friend.  Dashed home and warmed-up some leftover soup before dashing out tbe door to the Elf musical.  My former Sunday school kiddo was starring in. And the day ended with a Christmas Hallmark movie with Lori. 

Monday - work which included payroll and a work sickie.  Monday night I went to my old church for their ladies Christmas tea.  I went because love does. 

Tuesday was another glorious day at the sewer plant.  (On a related note, slightly random, my work weeks are busy but no longer tense.  Stepping back and re-evaluating my reactions has been a huge help.)  Tuesday night was tutoring.  My tutoree asked me where I work.  Telling him at the sewer plant required some clarification that no, I do not work in the sewer pipes like a Ninja Turtle.  I am just a secretary for a bunch of engineers who follow the lead of Batman and Robin.

Wednesday involved more secretary-ing and then my new life group.  It's been 3 months so is it really a "new" life group?  Hmmmm...

Thursday was work which included the decorating of the department Christmas tree.  Was I feeling festive?  Not so much.  I was actually feeling why-can't-RAL-decorate-the-tree???   My work day was then followed by running home to fluff my gym clothes in the dryer then dashing to the gym where I did a few minutes of quasi-intense cardio and then I made a mad dash to Beef-a-roo for some sweet potato fries and steamed broccoli and a chit-chat with a dear friend.

This brings me to today.  Friiiiiiiiiiday!!!!!!  Work and then hurry home to warm up soup which I scarfed-down before dashing out the door to Meg's to meet my friend.  After a chai, we went to my church for the Christmas Sing Out Loud.  It was wonderful.

And now my flannel jammies are on and a very silly feline has taken up residency on my lap. 

I am soooooo thankful this week ended on such an encouraging note.

Tomorrow I have a few errands but I mostly want to...
1. Decorate my cute little Christmas tree.
2. Write out my cards.
3. Sew gifts.

Happy weekend-ing, blog-stalkers!!!!
