Almost Over / Please Pray

I'm feeling quite ambivalent tonight. My internship is almost over and it's almost time to move back to Auburn.

Although I have enjoyed my work more than I thought I would, I will be happy to have Emma back with me and to be able to take naps during the day again. I really like coming home and not having any homework to do, but I don't really like waking up at 5:30 every day. I even wake up around 5:30 on the weekends, although I don't actually get out of bed.

It's been a long week so far as we near the end of tax season. I've worked until 9 the past two nights and I don't quite remember the times I left on Monday or Tuesday. I know it was much later than 5PM though. I don't want to work until 9 tomorrow, but I will if that's what gets me finished earlier on Saturday. After work, I'm going home to Florence to see Grandaddy and celebrate Easter with my family.

Please pray for my Grandaddy tomorrow as we hope he will finally be able to get his feeding tube placed. He's been in the hospital for nearly two weeks and has been waiting for his blood thinner levels to drop enough for surgery since Monday. He just really needs something to go his way. I so want him to be able to be discharged to the rehab facility. That will be a big step toward his finally getting to come home and live a normal life again. He's so special to me and I love him so much--I just can't stand to see him suffer like he has been lately. I wish I could fix everything for him, but he is such a strong person and will bounce back from all of this, I'm sure. Not to hurt anyone else's feelings, but I think I look up to him and want to make him proud of me more than anyone else in my family. I love you Grandaddy.
