Second year Day 128 - Saturday April 20, 2013

Today was such a busy day!  And today I was just exhausted.  Every once in a while I just feel crashed, and today was that day.  I did get a lot done, although not near enough!  Sometimes I feel as if I am sinking in a hole faster than I can dig out!  Bridgett and I were out pretty early doing some shopping.  She used to hate shopping when she lived on her own.  Mostly it was because she was at the store alone.  Now, she almost always wants to go with me.  Partly I think because she wants to walk and she usually asks if we can walk up and down every isle.  Partly I think it's because she remembers that she hated shopping alone and she doesn't want me to go shopping alone.  She does worry about me often.  Tonight was the adult session of conference.  I wanted to go to it and meet Mark there (he was at earlier meetings), but realized that Bridgett would not be able to sit through either tonight or tomorrow.  Whatever session I went to, Tyler would have to be in charge here with Bridgett while I was gone.  So, I decided to go tomorrow to the session with Mark and Stephany, when they were announcing our next stake president.  It's good I decided that because by evening I was SHOT!  I couldn't have driven into town anyway, because I was so tired.  I did feel badly afterwards, as Julie and Austin both spoke in the evening meeting.  At least Mark was there to hear the talks and tell me about them.  Julie spoke about faith, not mentioning Chris per se but trials; those of us who know her know what she was talking about.  Austin spoke on being prepared for life.  He has turned in his mission papers and will be getting his call soon.
