Amy's 'momentary trouble'

Amy was better today. She did have one major episode late this morning, but after that past she didn't have another. I did some running around today; took pop-cans in to be recycled, took a bunch of overdue library books back and went to Wal-Mart to pick up the nearly 200 pictures I had developed there from our trip to Disney. Trevor left earlier in the morning to go to a friend's baseball game and didn't get home until close to 5:00pm and Brittany rode her bike down to Culvers to meet a friend and then later went with a different friend to go swimming at our public pool. The only problem is that less than a half hour after they left, a storm moved in and they had to leave. One of our neighbor's had inquired a week or two back about me looking at their computer, I had said yes, but hadn't been able to get to it until today. Long story short, the short-cut to their email program had been deleted and I re-established that short-cut and then showed them how to fix it if it happened again. Since they got rained out, Brit and her friend joined us for supper and then all of us sat down and watched a movie.

Some times it's nice just to have an ordinary day, no day spent in the emergency room, or running to a sporting event, or a pressing meeting, or anything else that draws any of us away from our families. Admittedly, it was a bit lazy, but it sure was nice just to lay beside Amy and idly chat about nothing in particular, nice to run a few errands with just Brit, nice to lay on Hope's bed with her and watch a cartoon with her, nice to laugh at the silliness of a movie...nice to connect...nice to just be a family.

This is Amy's story as seen and told by me - V
