I've felt quite overwhelmed today.  I found out about a couple of sites that I will have to read in order to keep up on Nicholas and my brother Doug.  I read both today and I hope that I can sort of keep up with each of their adventures: Nicholas' college and Doug's mission.  As much as I enjoy sharing in what they are doing it gives me much to think about, especially with Doug doing something that I would so much like to do.  I'm not really jealous of him, because I accept the fact that he is there and I'm alright here, but what he is doing would be so wonderful.  I do realize that reading about it doesn't come with the tired feet and the sore back, and the extreme pain of sending one home because of an 'obedience problem'.  But I can't help but day dream a little bit.  Nicholas' is not possible for me, Doug's is just not probable.  But I can still imagine about that possibility.  Those 2 things weren't all that I did today.  I put in a healthy work day, and I got a lot done.  I count my day as successful because I was able to close out last week and pay me some money, and my earnings for today weren't bad.  I will do the actual figuring in the morning.  The other night I wrote about the possible things what could go wrong that would cost us some money.  Well, the pump stopped today so now I hope the fish stay alive long enough to get a new and expensive one installed.  The other things I wrote about are no 'ifs' but 'whens'.  I'll just have to watch and see how all of that goes.
