A Second Night of Good Sleep Made a Long Day Doable. 4 February 2017

Last night I again slept early and well. Even though I woke twice I went right back to sleep.  That made possible a 6 o'clock temple session followed quickly [I had an eight minute turnaround--just barely doable] by the eight o'clock session.

My Sweetheart and I only had a brief text conversation this morning, as his 9 o'clock temple session went longer than my last one--but we remember when that was the only communication we had!  This evening's talk was not as long as we would have liked, but I was helping with the wedding reception for two of my fellow missionaries.

I was privileged to be one of the people invited to the sealing, and the sealer was quite talkative, so this was a little longer than is typical. But the day was beautiful--instead of the freezing rain which had been forecast a week ago, it was bright and sunny with temps in the mid-50s! I was so delighted for the couple--and helping with their reception gave me some ideas for my own which will happen in just a bit over 100 days!

This was also the day for the Swap Meet--and yes, I found quite a few things!  I have seen other sisters use flat purses with a shoulder strap, and one was available--I was so please that my tablet fits in it.  I plan to use it mostly at the Library, but I used it tonight for the reception, to keep my phone handy, even though I was in dressy clothes.

I also picked up a set of small plates which will allow me to have a matching set to leave in the apartment--and a tall, though not matching, drinking glass to replace the one I broke.  A pop-up hamper which is much nicer than the one that died, and several nice clothing pieces, along with avery nice three-hole punch which will be useful for the sign-up sheets for the Young Elder Dinners.

So it was a long, full day--but quite enjoyable.
