Weekend woes :-(

The weekend started on Saturday although some might say it started on Friday but seeing as I already told you about that and it's my blog I say the weekend started on Saturday although given I'm on a permenant weekend it doesn't make much difference.

Oh, as for the title I just put that in to grab your attention... my weekend was good.

On Saturday night we had Stephen, Ross, Susan and Johnny over which can mean only one thing... Buzz!!! We played the original music version and I was demonstrating my dominance throughout but in the 2nd-last round (point stealer) they all had the cheek to gang up on me and steal my points. In the final round I then managed to throw things away somewhat.

On Sunday Donald was too ill for church. Everyone's been ill except for me mu ha ha hah. I told him there was nothing wrong with him and just because he was shaking, had a sore throat and his temperature was 106 didn't mean he shouldn't drive us all to church and then play the piano. This didn't happen so the slightly less ill Dorothy took us.

At church, after the first service, things started to get interesting. Fraser had to play piano because neither Donald or Terence was around but there was a song Fraser hadn't played before so Fiona said she'd lead that on guitar but there was only one guitar hooked up and so Fraser needed to run around at 11:25 trying to hook up another one. I was in a relaxed and confident mood (due, in no small way, to Personal Power!) so when Paul started requesting I do things like play a CD during the service and put words on screen, insert memory verses, change words of songs and various other things I didn't mind. That was followed by the speaker arriving with a powerpoint I had to edit and insert into the script and then two bible passages that needed added and formatted... all while Fraser was still running around trying to sort out a 2nd guitar. The service went really well considering everything that could have went wrong. After the service Fraser borrowed the projector to take back to Praise Gathering so we weren't going to have a projector in the evening and were going back to old-fashioned hymn books and I had the night off!

Lunch was good although numbers were down quite a bit and many of the people I'd normally talk to weren't there so I had a bit of banter with Stuart and then afterwards I got some good exercise by dancing to a cheesy pop CD I'd made.

Donald was ill in bed and asleep in the afternoon until he was awoken when Emma said 'daddy have a drink' and poured a big cup of ice-cold water over him so he came downstairs totally shivering. I gave him no sympathy and as a result of some sort of diving retribution I awoke with the illness today myself! Aaaaaaargh! Now I can't do my two favourite things of eating and speaking! My throat does feel like it's been scraped with barbed wire and sandpaper.

I'll update my blog again assuming it doesn't kill me. I was hoping to do Personal Power Day Four today but we'll need to see if I'm up to it. I've still been keeping to everything else on it.
