Today was the same, yet it was different.  For me it was pretty much the same, except that I have spent much of it solo.  I got up and into the office and worked all morning.  The afternoon did find me out driving to Sharon's and to the Midvale court doing my rounds.  The difference is that I have been here most of the day all alone.  I am still alone and I don't expect my wife home for maybe another hour.  She has been gone a lot today, and when she was here she was busy with grandmother duties.  It started for her when I woke her up just before 8 a.m..  She had to be up and off to do her visiting teaching by 9:30 a.m.  She got back near noon just in time to go pick up Crystal from school.  That was why I actually had to do my own rounds.  (imagine that)  She made brownies and spent time with our grand daughter who got picked up by her dad before Sheila had to leave again before 4 to drive to Kaysville and do the grandmother thing again. ( I was the beneficiary of some of those brownies as was Robert for after he left I noticed a much larger empty spot in the brownie pan.)   She was in Kaysville because Richard and Kathy and Shell and Phil had a dinner date and then were going to the Jazz game.  That's why I'm still waiting for my wife to get back home. The game did get over about 45 minutes ago.  (the Jazz lost)  I really don't know if I can stay up until she gets home, but I am going to try. I was able to fill my time watching BYU basketball and other ball games and I have provided pretty well for myself by making all three of my meals.  Actually, I can't count cold cereal as 'making' a breakfast meal.  And my lunch was just heating up what she prepared last night, so I can't count that. But dinner was, well, it was a frozen dinner so I can't count it either.  So maybe I wasn't doing today solo, just alone.
