Abigail, bless her heart, didn't do any "relatives are gone" withdrawal type things today. It probably helped that she spent two hours this morning at a friend's house (while I canned salsa at home! Yay! One less thing to stress about!) and that another friend brought us dinner today so we could read stories and play with her toys rather than trying to juggle dinner preparations with feeding Juliet and entertaining Abigail. It really was a nice day, and I even got to go work out tonight--it was great to get back to the gym after a two-week hiatus. I sure missed my endorphins--taking walks around the neighborhood helped, but it just wasn't the same! All in all, I was very grateful today for supportive friends who made it possible for me to feel like I was easing back into the swing of things and made it so I could get some of the backlog of "to-do" things done and also devote some quality time to Abigail. We really have been blessed in our friends here!
