productivity, yay?

I managed to finish my sermon in time for services yesterday, even though the printer was not cooperating at first. It was one of the all written out ones versus notes & improv. I think I like the notes & improv better versus just reading something i've written. I don't like sermons being like academic papers. But I think there is usefulness in writing out sermons to get the ideas straight so as not to have a circular sermon with no point.

I managed to turn in ten pages of my MDiv thesis (albeit late, but what else is new). It's a discombobulated mess, imho, but it's just ten pages of a draft, so I suppose that doesn't matter to much. There's more reading and writing I want to get done this week before I go to Chicago Saturday since that visit might completely throw me off my game. Preparations are being put into effect for 'after-care' upon my return.

Kiba thinks the best new pre-dawn game is to crawl under the covers, lift up my shirt and attack my back. Certainly an alarm clock - just not a pleasant one. He also decided that the derby rose was his chew toy today.

I'm exhausted and in need of a good night's sleep and I may crash once the caffeine leaves my system. For now, two kitties on my legs make it difficult for me to want to get up and get ready for class.
