Well, my Christmas vacation has started. I stayed up ’till 5am last night (I’ve started referring to “night” as the time before I go to bed, and “day” as the time after I get up, since midnight really isn’t a good divider for me on many days (and nights) and can make things confusing), and slept ’till 7pm today. I don’t know if I’m going to stay up all night or not. I have Saturday off as well, but I have to be at church early on Sunday since we’re on our third week of promoting the release of our live “You Are Freedom”:http://www.lakeviewworship.com/albums.php album and we have to have all kinds of things set up like cash registers, tables, signs, and things like that. I don’t do all of that but I help, and I have to get the CD faces printed that we duplicate for selling the sermon recordings, and make sure the Resource Center is ready to open, and get the nursery check-in station up and running…Sunday is my busiest day of the week and these three so far in December, due to the album release, have been about five times busier than most! It’s really exiting though, and I wouldn’t miss it. It does mean I have to figure out some way to not sleep all day tomorrow so I won’t be able to sleep tomorrow night and be really tired on Sunday morning…did that last week (and too many other Sundays to count) and I think I’ll skip that experience this time. Particularly because I have all next week to do the screwed-up sleeping thing if I want, while it won’t affect Sunday.
Then again, maybe I’ll try just sleeping a little later on vacation, so I don’t feel like I missed most of my days off. What a novel concept. I’ll keep you apprised :-)
I’ve been reading a couple of good books lately, and I’ve been so busy reading them I haven’t had time to post about them. If you want to keep up to date with mine or other blogs, or even news sites’ news feeds in RSS format, check out “Bloglines”:http://bloglines.com for a nice, completely free, web-based newsreader that can track all the latest posts on your fav feeds. I personally enjoy using the News & Blogs feature of “Mozilla Thunderbird”:http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ (now in their 1.0 release and worth checking out…I haven’t mentioned it here as much as I should have!) to read the blogs I stay in touch with, but Bloglines is a helpful second source to be able to check from anywhere, not just my home-base computer(s).
I’m still wide awake, so I think I’ll go do some reading for a while.
