Adventures in living alone...well, alone as far as other 2-legged companions...there are. of course, the 4 cats, 5 dogs, 1 horse, and 7 kittens...not to mention the 2 feral mama's and one other kitten (Ziggy) that has continued to elude capture that live outside and I feed and water etc. My husband is up staying with daughter Dr. Dolittle, to help her recover from a variety of problems and finally finish school. She's been in school for many, many years and worked very hard, and is now within 2 months of being done with her doctorate, and for a variety of reasons I don't understand, seems to have hit a wall. Sometimes I wonder about that whole Old Testament thing about the "...sins of the father (or mother) being visited upon the children..." of course, that could just be my guilt and tendancy toward "over-responsibility" talking. Actually, like so many other things that have plagued me for years, I no longer care where the issue came from or why it still exists...I just want to transcend it. I believe in the transformative power of Jesus Christ, and I claim that for myself and my family. Meanwhile, here I am trying to do everything hubby did as well as everything I need to do, and of course, I semi-suck at it, But it's ok...or will be ok...
