Is This Even a Textversation?

 

I forgot to mention that yesterday I spaced out and prayed a rosary while walking around the house during my lunch break, so then there was no need to pray one at Adoration. Instead, I prayed the Chaplet of the Precious Blood, the Padre Pio Chaplet, and the Infant of Prague Chaplet. That still left me a lot of extra time, so I just read old entries in my prayer journal. Also, I ran into Cali just before going into the chapel, so we sat together, but of course we didn't talk because it's silent in there.

Today I worked on campus, and at lunch I went to an early music concert of Bach cantatas. It was so cold out that at my afternoon break I wanted to walk inside, so I checked the schedule for the big conference room overlooking the lake. I don't know if I got the day wrong, but the schedule looked clear, and yet there were people in it when I peeked inside. I did find an empty classroom on the first floor and walked around the periphery while praying a Divine Mercy Chaplet. Then on the way home I could see an amazing sunset, but by the time I parked in the garage and ran down to the dock, it had faded a bit.


I zoomed in so you can see the stripes of pink and white. It looked delicious.

There's not nearly enough coloring at my job. 

This evening Anna Banana II sent a text to the group Night Prayer chat that just said, "Yes." I assumed that she meant to reply to someone else - goodness knows I have done that enough times myself - but then Jilly Moose texted back "?". Still not strange - she was wondering what the random "yes" meant. But the part that just killed me was that then Richard Bonomo immediately liked the question mark. I was like, this doesn't even qualify as a textversation, yet there's a lot of information being transmitted. It does remind me of years ago when Travalon put a sticker of a thumb's up under a post, I think my post, and then he gave his own thumb's up a thumb's up. I think I laughed ten minutes straight about that one.
