And he crawled up into my lap and I felt like I hadn't seen him all week. My installation at S.L.A.C. is this weekend, the beginning of the semester has brought much turbulence - both to the campus ministry calendar as well as to several in the student body - and I may have been physically here at home this week but certainly not mentally, spiritually and emotionally.

Just an aside, planning an installation is from hell. No one knows what the heck it is, you have to do all your own planning and asking and making sure everyone gets an invitation that needs to (which actually didn't happen, but at least some of them did), and I have to pay $500 for a damn reception from my own budget which means we have even less to do ministry with.

W. just came in and yelled that he's had to do all the fixin' for dinner, which he has all week, so I'll go.

Sigh. We need another wife, because I'm not doing so well this week.
