I'm actually staying up a bit later then I usually do.  I had some interest in the NCAA final game, and it actually was fun to watch, so I did.  At half time Sheila came down and helped me pump for the 2nd time today.  We went all winter and only had to pump a hand full of times, but the conditions will have to improve to keep us from another one some time during the night.  I hope that it will get too cold and snow instead of rain, or stop or something.  But if not, I will do what needs doing.  The new way that we do it is physically more demanding, but it isn't that bad, and I see it as an opportunity to have a bit of a work-out.  I would like to avoid it, but if not....  After such a weekend it was hard to get back into the mood of the work week.  But I've been transisting for years so I'm pretty much used to it.  My Monday ended up hitting my 'normal' figures and so was an adequate start to my week.  A phone call just after 7 reminded us that we had forgotten our FHE dinner for April, but it was too late to change, and besides I knew that pump time would be upon us soon.  Maybe their meal would have been better, but my wife's cream peas and potatoes and ham suited me just fine.  I was able to keep myself busy through the day, but conference did creep into my head some.  It was really a weekend to remember, and I do mean that in the most literal sense.  It is something I want to remember.  There was so much good stuff taught.  For being the 2nd week in April the weather sure has been un-spring-like.  It is supposed to get worse through tomorrow.  I am resigned to just hanging around, working in my office trying to make a living, and staying warm.  Still have lots on my mind trying to figure out what the future holds for us.  But I am also resigned to receive it (whatever it is) one day at a time, and frankly, I am enjoying my journey probably more now then at any other time in my life.  I am reminded of the poem Brother Packer recited that he wrote about his older years.  I was able to see some of what he wrote in the way that I see my old situation.  I'm certainly not him, but there were some similar ideas that apply to me.  I am happy growing older and hopefully wiser with my bestest of friends right there with me.
