Strange days.

.
.
I made it until noon then crashed like a wingless airplane. The missionaries woke me, but all a good thing. We discussed some things. My problem, for them, is that I am suspicious of the BoM. Further, there is no external history. I have many books to read in prep for a study of their book and I am doing good to pump out a book every few months. If I could do it, I would read a couple books a day. I simply can't. I have to wait for a window of opportunity to open before I can begin digging in. If I don't, and forge on ahead, I simply forget what I just read so that the book is mush as to understanding. Too tired to concentrate on characters, plots, sub-plots, angles, and such. Mush.

I sent off a number of emails regarding work coming up. I received one email back already, letting me off the hook. I had offered to give a three minute speech for recruiting purposes. It seems most of the audience will be women, therefore not as rich for recruiting as I had hoped. The other email involves several things. I need to get a recruiting schtick down, find and print posters, and such. There is a district meeting coming up, and I would like to go. I simply need to know how much that would cost before deciding whether I can finagle my way to it. And finally, I need thought and mechanical resources for setting up a group meal. Everything I had thought were parameters have been shot down, leaving me with a blank slate together with a new hugely widened open book. I am having to learn on the fly.

On the good side, having the missionaries over woke me. I seem to be ready to get to work, after a little more consciousness building. My body seems ready. I still have dishes from the meal yesterday. Sweeping and mopping are on the list. And finally the bathrooms need cleaned, more by calender than anything though. I might, if I decide to do dishes, toss in some laundry while I am at it.

Tomorrow I plan to make it to Mass. Perhaps after that a visit to the city clerk to do court case research. After that, whatever I didn't finish today here at home. I also, sometime, today or tomorrow, should get to clearing off the bit of snow that seems to be lingering. It is light and fluffy, that which hasn't been crushed under boot or wheel. I can probably use the big broom to clear most of it. With most of it gone the sun might just cook off the frozen bits with the tar road under acting as an intensifier.

I hope your day is going well.
