The Nature of a Sunday

As long as I can remember, Sundays have always been low key days. Growing up we went to Mass, had a nice family brunch, took some time to read or maybe play games. In college, Sundays were reserved for Mass and intensive homework. Strangely, here I find my Sundays to be rather busy. Today is a great example. We had a brief house meeting in the morning, went to Mass, and had brunch with Jesuits (always a treat :) Then I biked to the Plaza Art Fair and hung out there for about a half hour. I don’t usually find that much joy in art. I can appreciate good art, but it’s not something I can spend more than a minute or two with. The Plaza Art Fair was great because it included live music, which I absolutely love. I lucked out and caught the beginning of a local band that just did a couple covers, but really had a great sound. Biked back to the house, grabbed a quick shower and headed over to Rockhurst to Skype with the family (my house doesn’t have internet, so we head over the University when the Web calls). A quick chat with them and it was back to the house to leave for the KC Care Clinic fundraiser. There was a silent auction and food at this gorgeous house in the historic district of KC. We, naturally, were volunteering. In the 4.5 hours we were there I drove a Mercedes-Benz and a golf cart. The whole story is sort of long (maybe I’ll come back later and write it out), but basically the driveway was incredibly steep and there also was a limited amount of convenient parking, therefore I was tasked with picking people up and bringing them to the house. The golf cart didn’t work at first, which is why I drove the Benz. All in all, it was SO FUN. I really enjoyed it. After that, a brief stop at the grocery store for our week’s rations and back to the house to prepare for the work week. Super fun, but so busy.
