The middle of this week alone

 I'll be honest, it's a very strange week.  While I talk to Andrew every evening, there isn't necessarily much to tell each other.  He does his school until early afternoon, then they head to the hospital.  I do "my school" each day and then head back to town, usually run an errand, and then head home.  It is very odd to not have many responsibilities when I get home.  I need to feed the cats and make sure Lincoln (male cat) gets his antibiotic.  That is pretty much it.

The first two days of this week, I actually had to work late at school.  It seems as though most people don't understand that my day is supposed to end at 2:30, and they take for granted I can stay as late as needed.  Monday I had to work until 3 (which worked since I arrived late), and yesterday I had to stay until 3:30.  It certainly isn't an issue this week, but I don't want it to become a habit.  I am grateful that I am in a regular high school class today so I'll be out of here at 2:30.  I need to run two errands, and then I'll be home for the evening.  And laundry is NOT optional this evening.

I am missing my family tremendously.  Andrew's mother got on the phone last evening and thanked me profusely for them being there.  I told her there was no reason to thank me.  They are exactly where they need to be.  It seems as though they will be home Friday, and I'm really looking forward to it.  I don't think they will stay home for more than a week, but I'll be glad to have them while they can be home!
