I don't want to get out of bed!

That's how I felt this morning. I really didn't. It was the same as yesterday. I want to sleep more and or get a day off, but that's not going to happen. I need rest. Work is wearing me down. If I go to fanfest I might as well quit my job. I get home and think that I have stuff to clean, but I don't.

I had to have the desk cleaned, but I guess I can't do it now. Must rest up for a long day of work. Tomorrow will be even longer. New Year and lots to do. I saw the news about Mardi Gras and I was thinking about doing lent again. What do I give up this time?

Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday. We skip Sundays when we count the forty days, because Sundays commemorate the Resurrection. Lent begins on 9 February 2005 and ends on 26 March 2005.

In the Roman Catholic Church, Lent officially ends at sundown on 24 March (Holy Thursday), with the beginning of the mass of the Lord?s Supper.

Lent is a season of soul-searching and repentance. It is a season for reflection and taking stock. Lent originated in the very earliest days of the Church as a preparatory time for Easter, when the faithful rededicated themselves and when converts were instructed in the faith and prepared for baptism. By observing the forty days of Lent, the individual Christian imitates Jesus? withdrawal into the wilderness for forty days. All churches that have a continuous history extending before AD 1500 observe Lent. The ancient church that wrote, collected, canonized, and propagated the New Testament also observed Lent, believing it to be a commandment from the apostles. (See The Apostolic Constitutions, Book V, Section III.)

Horoscope: Change doesn't have to be radical. Think incrementally. Switch style, not strategy.
