I am feeling crushed by CP. Janae and I had a lazy weekend and I studied a little, but the test is on Friday and I am going to have to focus in this week to be ready. We made a pot roast on Friday but didn't eat it until Saturday... Sometimes our eating habits make no sense, but in the context of our priorities sitting down and eating a well-prepared meal is never at the top. I felt a little tired and lazy this weekend. Saturday afternoon, I went with Taylor, Simi, and Derek to do our last community session, teaching taxi drivers about strokes. It was fun because there was four of us and we had lots of interesting things to chat about. The downside was that none of us planned appropriately for the fact that we were there all afternoon and we weren't close to anything edible. We were all starving by the end and ready to go home. I spent the rest of Saturday at the apartment relaxing with Janae. We watched Jersey Girl, the original, and it was pretty funny. They sure don't make movies like they used to, for better and for worse. The hair and fashions were predictably entertaining, but there was a simplicity of seeing life before everyone had cell phones (not to mention smart phones) and computers. The rich hero has a successful job in printing, which is interesting because there is no money in that anymore.

On Sunday, we were back in the Chevy Chase ward for the first time in a month, due to sickness and travel. We had an excellent lesson on John the Baptist and I feel like everyone was able to follow the lesson without as much explanation, now that we have moved out of the Old Testament. We gave them stickers that said "follow the rules" and "share". They thought it was funny and humored us, although the chocolate covered macadamia nuts were even more popular than the stickers.

The rest of Sunday was also spent at the apartment. It is cold enough outside right now that venturing out requires a real purpose. We are supposed to get some more snow tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. I will try to add more later, but for now I had better get productive.
