My middle one left this morning as soon as she ate breakfast; she was trying to outrun the rain. She was in a really good mood this weekend, acting much more like herself that we’ve seen her n some time. I hope it’s not an indication of mania. It made me a bit sad for her to leave–but I need to get used to it. Soon she will be gone permanently. I’d like to get in as much time as we can before she leaves. But I don’t know how to even manage it, much less ask or it. Such is the way of the world.
I was so sleepy in church again. Bob kept jostling me with his elbow. But we had the Lord’s Supper and then a healing service where people could come and pray. I found our old Sunday School teacher and his wife and asked them to pray for my middle one with her bipolar and me with mine. They of course know my middle one–the husband was her doctor all her life and the wife taught children’s choir when she was volunteering in it. So they prayed with me for a good little bit, and that made me feel like I was still taking care of her the best way I could right now. She only has a month left of school and that will be such a relief to all of us knowing she has her degree.
Speaking of degrees, I need to be working harder on mine. I still have to create all the front and back pages for my thesis, write my process essay over again, and create the abstract and vita. I am giving a lady one more day to contact me for my MCIR story, then I am telling them I am done with it. I need to come up with a way to check on my employment papers for the CL, and I need to find a way to work on my next BPHope project, which was going to be for April, but I finagled it for my June project because I literally could not figure out a way to work it in before the deadline.
We go to a little dance competition this afternoon. They’re not daylong affairs like they were before COVID. And I am so thankful. I do not miss those at all.
I wish I could go to sleep. But I am going to work on laundry while we’re waiting to leave. Get Bob’s clothes together. Then dry my youngest ‘s load, then run mine through. Maye I can get in a nap after the dance trip. We will see.
Hope everyone is staying safe from the virus and have a good week this coming week. I think I will have a good week. Godspeed.
