I am alone again tonight.  Logan's surgery got scheduled for early tomorrow which was a surprise.  So Sheila left about an hour ago to go up there and stay the night.  She packed her toothbrush, her jamies and candy and soda pop.  Seems the boys were set on coming down here and raiding the pantry so they were disappointed to have to stay home.  So good grandma packed the candy for them.  I learned a long time ago that service counts for family too.  And it is a good thing to have opportunities to serve family or not.  So here I am on my own and will be until tomorrow afternoon, but supporting the wife all the way.  And I really do do it willingly and I really do encourage her in spite of the terrible suffering that I have to endure (my own cooking!).

 

We enjoyed the food at our FHE group dinner and the companionship, but we hurried our departure when the discussion really got more negative then we were comfortable with.  Seems there was way too much complaining and judging and griping about politics and people and life in general.  So Sheila's appointment came in handy and we were able to get out of there without having to tell the whole truth.  What we said was true, but I wonder how long I would have lasted if it wasn't.  I wonder if maybe I have changed some to feel the way that I did.  I would have liked for the discussion to have been gospel related and positive.  I don't judge them, but it really did feel good to get out of there.
