Every Day

For the next two weeks, I am going to try and put up a piece every day, to try and give a sense of what General Synod is like. So let me begin with today:

It's Monday of the week where we gather on Thursday. There's Parish Council tonight (since next Monday won't work because of General Synod), a possibly pending funeral for later in the week, and preparation of the usual Sunday things for next Sunday (in other words, the stuff that I usually do on Saturday), there's a decision to be made about how much of the General Synod materials I need to print (we have been asked to "green" General Synod by going paperless insofar as it is possible) but since there are no electrical outlets in the meeting area, it may be impractical for my aging laptop battery to attempt several hours at even the lowest power setting, there is a mailing to one of the groups I meet with to be finished, and I need to take my daughter-who-will-be-house-sitting grocery shopping this afternoon in order to keep her happy.

Oh...there's also laundry to be done so that I can pack for eight days out of the house. The dress code for General Synod is generally casual, with a couple of more formal occasions. I wonder if my souvenir baseball jerseys would work?
