Last night I had an extremely hard time getting to sleep. I tried my usual strategies, and nothing worked. I decided that maybe I needed to send a reply to a young man who had questioned why an organized Church is necessary. I testified to him that we are under covenant to provide saving ordinances for the whole family of Adam--and that takes a lot of people working together. Individuals just can not do this work by themselves.
When I finished that post it was about 11:30, and I decided at midnight to read scriptures--2 Nephi 17, one of the Isaiah chapters. After I finished that I did fall asleep, but woke up about 5, and never really fell asleep again, although the 6 am alarm was really hard to respond to, so that put me a little behind in my usual morning routine.
When I got to the Library I was scheduled to play the keyboard and give the in-service. Sometimes on Friday morning everyone has had the in-service, but not today. I was Greeter for an hour. The rest of my time until afternoon prayer meeting, when again I played keyboard [Christmas songs!] and gave the in-service lesson, I was in the Training room. There were only a few times when anyone needed help, so most of those five hours were spent refining an in-service lesson.
I brought my lunch, which was probably not the best thing to do for the sleepies. I had some microfilm I wanted to revisit, and for the last 20 minutes or so I did that [finding that a couple of the films had gotten mixed up in their boxes--probably my fault, as I do not think anyone else is working with these films--so at least that issue got fixed], but the record I wanted did not show up.
Back in the Training room I did dose off a couple of times. But I think that presentation is finished, and next week I will go on to the next topic. There are 7 topics left in the series I am doing, and I need to finish them by mid-to-late February.
On my way back to the apartment I tried getting my voicemail and was denied access without a password. I did not think that I ever did have a password. Turns out I was correct about that, but getting the mess figured out took my daughter's help. Then I discovered that I had left my flash-drive in one of the computers, so I made up for not walking at lunchtime!
Once my Sweetheart calls and we have prayer together, I suspect I will be off to bed!
