saturday and sunday and...

saturday i got up at 9:30 for the youth torah service, which was great, the marvellous matt krainess shared an amazing and convicting word. after a blur of an afternoon and evening of getting to play percussion with the brilliant and lovely adrielle hanes (oh yeah and there were others in the band too), i stayed up all night saturday for the YMJA "lock-in." i think i was basically sleepwalking. but it was great. the highlight of that for me was a 1.5-hour prayer meeting that lasted 'til about 5am, with 4 amazing prayer warriors and myself. good stuff. sunday i finally returned to narberth around 10.30am and my apartment was a total disaster. the photos below don't nearly do it justice, as they were taken before my landlord tore out my old kitchen and distributed it throughout my apartment. so after a 2-hour nap i had to clean construction dust off of my every possession, and move all of my kitchen supplies into their new homes in my new kitchen... i was the walking dead but i got it mostly done. and the kitchen looks fabulous. i collapsed into bed around 9pm. then started this week, which so far has been delightfully normal. in spite of working and whatnot, it feels quite a bit like i'm on vacation or something.
