Playing Hookey

The alarm went off this morning and I could not get myself out of bed!  I slept late and still yearned for more rest.  SK went to the temple without me, and I did very little for the remainder of the day except sleep some more, read and just relax.

I have enjoyed this entire week, but I am exhausted.  In the past, I think I could have done all this with relative ease, but after a 16-hour day of cooking, cleaning and socializing, I am spent.  Kasper gave me a welcome four-month respite....what a great young man.

We will only serve meals until the end of May or early June, when institute ends, and then we will be at the center, but not cook.  Until then, I will concentrate on simpler meals.  I really don't know how to cook without standing up...do you?  Going from stove to refrigerator to sink all require standing, and moving around.

With the lovely rest today, I am ready to be at the center tomorrow for 8 hours and Sunday for 10, serving a meal and refreshments.

The only real down sides of the day were missing the temple, and missing a gorgeous day in Copenhagen!  The skies were a deep beautiful blue with patches of clouds and a brisk breeze.  I am sure it would have been lovely to take a walk down one of my many favorite streets.

I am looking forward to watching conference this weekend.  The way we have scheduled it at the center, the only session we will miss is the last session on Sunday....which SK and I will watch at home one  morning this week.  Isn't it amazing that we can see all of conference practically at the same time our dear ones in the States will be watching?

It is a wonderful thing to live in this world today.
