It's later then normal.  I actually got up earlier, but I've had some pressing tasks that I have now completed here in my office and out to gas the car and deliver a billing to Cullimore's office so I  can get paid today.  Now I need to settle down to my other work which I figure to take a couple of hours.  It is beginning to sink in that things are looking to change drastically in the next few days.  We are expecting David to be here tonight and then fly out in the morning and then long about Tuesday (possibly even Monday or Wednesday) the rest of that family will be here.  Not exactly sure for how long, but just having them right here for some weeks will be a nice change and an opportunity that I am looking forward to.  I will get to meet my grandson for the first time and I have missed those girls not being around.  Enjoyed last night with Sharon's family for the ordination and the birthday. (and the food!)  It made for quite a long day and just being here all day working and thinking and studying will be a good change of pace and hopefully an opportunity to bounce back to my usual energetic, old self.  I have so much study material that I have printed off sitting right here next to me that just thinking about what I want to think about makes me tired all over again.  Its a good thing that I work only 13 commuting steps away so I do have time to devote to my hobby of learning, which I am a little surprised to find means so much to me.  I am still trying to figure 'it' all out.  So much to try and learn and still only 24 hours in our day and so much else that needs our attention.  I am glad that I am older and over all of that stuff that is important to you, but frivolous to me.  I am in a whole different stage of my life.  It is as challenging to me as your stage is to you, but I really think that it is more fun.  You are entitled to disagree with me if you want, but you may change your mind when you get 'here' too.
