Thank God For a Typical Week

When there's a person in your life with a chronic illness, you learn very quickly to appreciate the typical weeks. This week, thank goodness, was one of those.
Mom had her downs early in the week and didn't feel well one day, which is pretty normal. As the week went on, it was the usual routine for her of paying bills, making out her grocery list, going to the beauty salon, chatting with the housekeeper.
And a routine week for her means a routine week for me. No side trips to pick up prescriptions or doctor's visits. And no extra worry aside from the uneasy sense of waiting for the next emergency.
Thank God for routine weeks.
