Dorina Is Gone and I'm on My Own

Adelaide, Dorina, and William

I had a wonderful time with Dorina last week. It is always good to catch up with an old friend in person. I am way too tired now to do many of the things we used to do together in our college days (though I did consider putting oragel in her toothpaste again....). Most of my time had to be spent in bed or in my recliner, but I had a good time visiting anyway. There's nothing like an old friend to keep you company. Someone who knows you inside and out and loves you anyway. Someone to whom you can tell anything. Someone you have to stay friends with because if you didn't they'd have too much blackmail material on you! Yep, it was a good time.

This week I'm on my own with taking care of William and Adelaide while Will is in class. So far, I am surviving. I have almost made it through the week! I know that as the semester goes on I will get worn down. That always happens. Thankfully, though, Will has a fairly flexible schedule this semester, and a few of my neighbors have offered to help me out when I need it. My mom is always willing to come and help also. Life will be harder with two children, but we will manage. The Lord has always been faithful to provide the help we need.
