Family

Tomorrow we will head out to visit family. Sunday I will preach in my home church. Dad is home, and told me today he can't get warm. He's got the apartment at 75. I keep the house at 60 or 62. I think I'll pack shorts. I suggested he put on a hat. He thinks he's getting a cold. I think we're going to have lots of fun staying in his one bedroom apartment with him.

I had a long conversation with Sister this evening. She was stressing about a situation in the family, and decided to share the stress with me. There are a number of changes going on in the family right now, and it creates stress and can strain relationships. We could have a very interesting time while we're up there. Hopefully we'll all enjoy one another's company and set aside the stress.

Daughter wants to leave bright and early in the morning, but I still need to pack, and we need to drop Cat and Kitten at the kennel and stop by the pharmacy. Daughter doesn't have enough of two medications to make it through the week. I had all of her prescriptions on a schedule where I could pick them all up at once and fill pill boxes for 4 weeks. Her last psychotic episode and the resulting medication change messed all that up. I'm having to deal with pill boxes much more frequently than I did. Hopefully I'll be able to get refills timed right again soon....

I will have my computer and access to Dad's wireless network, but I don't know that I'll be on as regularly while I'm up there. I'll be visiting everyone and taking care of all the things Dad can't do on his own, plus finalizing a sermon for Sunday. I'm looking forward to seeing Niece, who is the world's smartest and most amazing 4 year old. Hopefully Mom will recognize me this trip....
