to that voracious monster that lives below my coffee table! YEAH!
I had a light Sunday in terms of Mass obligations so I took advantage and gave that monster that lives under my coffee table and feeds off of little scraps of paper, overdue bills and crumbs from Great Grandma's Chocolate Chip Cookies a severe and hopefully mortal wound!
At least that was more productive than watching the return of Bunguls to the National Football League!

SHHH!!! (Don't tell my mother!)
I've gone all domestic and stuff!
We've had a number of water leaks into the ceiling here at the Cathedral rectory lately, and painting is in the works. The Dining Room was particularly hard hit and needed a fresh coat of color on top and the walls. (Unfortunately they picked the same boring color that it was before.) Well, remember that there used to be eight resident priests and this was also the place to entertain quite a number of other priests as well, so we have a pretty large hutch in the dining room full of glassware, and I mean FULL of glassware. The ever talented maintenance men were planning on painting around said hutch, when I screamed NO! "But we can't move that thing with all that glassware in it!" Not a problem, be taken care of by the morning.
So, Wednesday evening was spent moving and washing glassware. For THREE HOURS! (Yeah, told you there were lots of glasses, at least 200+)
Thursday was painting day, and since I am out of the office today, I spent about two hours this morning cleaning the hutch (wanted to get all of those little dust rings taken care of before replacing all those glasses) and sorting and refilling that massive piece of furniture.
All the work, the pastor says: "Hey, I noticed that some of those glasses were in different spots, could you put them back in the right spot?"
Oh, I will get him back, trust me!
