Feb. 27th, 2024 09:41 pmMy mouth was OK for most of the day in the office - then I got home and the pain just slammed into my jaw out of nowhere. It calmed down again, and husband both cooked and washed up (bless him <3), but it bloody well hurt for a while!
I promise there are other things for me to talk about. I know it's not like other people don't have their own shit going on - but a) it's kind of top of my thoughts at the moment and b) it's quite a novelty for me to be ill in any way, shape or form :D
Evening prayer was a bit longer than usual because we're using the last Tuesday of the month as an opportunity to think more broadly about the Parish and about our new Rector - whoever they are. They're out there, somewhere, waiting for us to strike like a lucky bolt of lightning. Yes, our new Rector is Charlie Bucket! :D Tonight we thought about Incarnational theology that celebrates the physical as well as the spiritual. One of its famous proponents was Evelyn Underhill, a modern mystic. The one quote of hers I remember is that I only love God as much as the person I love least. At the moment, that's probably Benjamin Netanyahu. Or Keir Starmer. It's a close thing...
We also talked about whether our buildings help or hinder people seeking spirituality. All three of our buildings are beautiful in their own way, whilst also challenging! All the sites also have very practical, very rooted projects attached to them. We feed people both physically and spiritually. But arguments could be made for the closure of any one - or even two - of the buildings, at least as places of worship.
A longer service meant I didn't have time to tackle the final puzzle in Hephaestus' Vault, so that's tomorrow's treat :)
In work, a rather strange project request has come in that has managed to bypass the relevant exec sponsor, as well as being mostly handled by the Helpdesk Manager. EPC and I are working on the concept of creating a workflow for the early part of the project process - making sure every request is signed off by the exec seems like a no-brainer to include!
Tomorrow, husband has his eye exam at Aintree - a 20 or so minute drive away. At 9am. We'll need to get our skates on in the morning!
