I already knew it was going to be "one of those days" when I woke up a little over an hour ago and my coffee pot wouldn’t work. It’s plugged in. It’s full of all coffee goodness and water. Yet, when I push the "on" button, nothing happens.

Oh, the cruelty of it all!

Otherwise, my Friday appears to be relatively normal, but busy.

Morning Prayer kicks off at 7:15. I then have to tackle my sermon for this weekend – that means I will lock myself either in the church office or at home to get it done. Considering that my coffee pot is not working at home, I am probably will be working in the church office this morning.

My coffee pots in my church office work.

Afterward, I will spend a few minutes at lunch (probably a salad) and then off on a visit. Following my afternoon visit, I have a "quick" meeting, and then back home to finish up the prayers for this weekend’s services. Sometime around 6, I will be done. The Rangers play tonight; maybe I will watch.

Last night, I was over a friend’s house — all day yesterday I was craving brocolli rabe with tofu pasta and steak. Don’t ask me why – it was on my mind all day. And I mean, ALL DAY. When I finished up my work (I love volunteering at pastoral care offices in hospitals, but I hate it when they ask me to do paperwork), I headed over to Yonkers and Stew Leonards and picked up all the items that would satisfy my cravings.

When I arrived at her house, I stood in her kitchen cooking while listening to the New Jersey Devils game on MSG-Plus. About a half hour later, everything was cooked. The steak was even cooked to a desired consistency (medium rare). And that alone is weird for me – I rarely (sorry for the pun) cook steak well. Then I  added a little freshly grated pecorino romano cheese on top and wow! It was actually terrific.

Low in carbs, high in satisfaction.

And the Devils won.
