What are you doing besides playing on the Planet?

Making deviled eggs for church potluck tomorrow.
Forcing myself to not dwell on where these eggs have come from in order to do this.
Reminding myself it’s not about the crabby adults, it’s for the sake of the children.
Telling myself how counting my blessings rather than focusing on the negative will make this a lot easier.
Saying to myself of course I can do this, now that I’m on a 12 Step program - 12 days of Xanax in a row.
Recalling tactics used in the past to get us to church to try and rope us into doing acts of service for the rest of the year.
Hoping the gap between cleaning church building and eating will prove to be shorter than it has been in the past.
Trying to remember how God loves a cheerful giver.
Thinking about dropping off eggs, making some excuse about why I can’t stay, and then fleeing the scene of the crime.
Plotting just buying a ham slice and Cyrus O’Leary egg nog cream pie on the way home, and then Happy Easter for me!
Wishing I knew for certain knock off recipe for eggnog cream pie filling would be just as good as Cyrus O’Leary’s.
Asking myself if I botch it, what else I have on hand to fill these four frozen Marie Callender’s pie crusts in a jiffy.
Remembering how I once felt such joy doing this (Easter has always been my favorite holiday) but now no longer do.
