Today has been a day for taking care of business. In the office this morning I worked on updating our database and straightening out some mailing lists. I took a break to take a young woman out to lunch and then came home and finished my income taxes. They were complicated by the family trust and the fact that I hired household help. I called Far Away Sister and she pulled up their tax return on turbo.tax, and I finally figured out what I needed to change in order for it to be accepted. Her husband had problems at the same point. Sister is going to work on her taxes tonight, and said she'd call me if she got stuck. The good news, though, is that I don't owe any additional taxes. I also exchanged some emails with the attorney who is setting up my will and the special needs trust for Daughter.

Daughter came home in a surly mood. I asked her what was wrong, and she told me she wasn't allowed to talk about it at home. I reminded her that she also wasn't supposed to take out her bad mood on me, and she managed to turn it around. She seems happier, and I think she's being a bit more responsible. I have no idea why she is improving, but I am very grateful. She was even able to take some teasing at supper, and expressed appreciation for the chef salad and fruit salad I had made.

I have a couple coming for premarital counseling tonight. When they first contacted me, I wasn't sure I'd be here for their wedding. I struggled with whether or not I should tell them I might not be here for their wedding. I'm going to be here for the next two weddings, and maybe even the one in January.

God will provide the right place at the right time. I may need to listen to yesterday's podcast again....
