Today, I had an appointment for some blood work at 8:40am in which I needed to fast prior so I decided to sleep in and go to noon Mass. Well all was going to plan until I woke up at 6:20am this morning since my body is now used to getting up earlier. So I got up and figured I’d do some work on the computer until it was time to leave for my appointment.

Somehow I forgot about the fasting part and since I always fast before Mass and then head to work without breakfast I figured today would be a good day for breakfast at home, Eggos & Coffee are pretty good when your use to nothing. Not until 8am did I recall the fasting requirement. Well since that point my whole day has been blown. No morning Mass, a missed appointment, and to follow all that up nicely my morning meeting at work went poorly. Hopefully noon Mass can salvage my day. Today they had a flutist and organ that played sacred music with Mass and the Agnus Dei was great. So far things are looking up. Amazing how receiving the Body & Blood of Jesus can turn things around.
