I think the one thing that made the month fly by was that the last week of February was kinda like a blur. On Feb 15, our priest was hospitalized and in a coma after being found unconscious on his driveway that morning. We had just seen him at mass the day before, so this was a shocker and no one knows exactly what happened. We continued the prayers for him at mass the following weekend as he was still in his coma with no change besides the bruising going down. Thankfully the parish set up a Caringbridge account for Fr. Mike so we could all keep updated on his condition without calling the parish office for updates. On Monday the 22-one week after his fall-it was posted that he had passed away. So, that week was a blur of thinking how could this have happened, what happened-which we will now probably never know-along with attending the funeral events. It is just so strange that he is gone-church will never be the same without Fr. Mike-who was the reason we joined St. Mary's in Appleton. He has such a way of relating to everyone-young and old. It will be interesting to see what happens next with the parish.
On to happier topics, March is starting to fly by as well. Here it is already the 5th. I have subbed 3 days already (2 were AM only). I have 2 more planned days this month, but I am sure there will be more. The weather is getting warmer, but not enough for me to open the windows yet. I am thinking about doing some major cleaning today-we will see if that really happens.
I think the resolutions are coming along. I really have to think about where I am putting things in order to keep organized. Still struggling with that kitchen table (maybe I will have to take it out of the kitchen!!!) I may even have something planned for my "out of my comfort zone". Thanks to Rae Ann and her goal of monthly volunteering!!
Okay, you are now updated on my past month. Hopefully there will not be so long between my next post :)
