My first crisis was avoided. My parents - visiting all winter from Pennsylvania - who has been coming over in the morning is to babysit, have been stopping in the morning for McDonald's breakfast sandwiches. If she showed up with an Egg McMuffin and hash browns, would I "forget" my Lenten pledge to give up fast food, just hours after it started? I decided I would have to be strong and turn it away.
Luckily, no fast food breakfast arrived. They were thinking of my pledge and, instead, my mother showed up and cooked me eggs and sausage. Not so bad.
But I have a very stressful Wednesday in front of me. Deadline Day. Every Wednesday I have to finish the Monday Business Section and get it to El Paso so they can start designing the page. I want to be done on time so I can have dinner with my family and then go to Ash Wednesday service at Peace Lutheran. So I have to do the flight of the humingbird and work fast to get everything done. That's why drive-thru fast food works well on Wednesdays. A stress reliever. But I'll stick with my packed lunch.
