Illness in the House.

Lisa's got a sore throat so she's likely calling it a week a day early. My old Jeep's better now that the exhaust manifold has been replaced. This "patch" will shore it up for at least another year or so. After that, I'll have to either get a new engine or vehicle. We'll see.

As for me, I need rest and a moment of peace. I feel like I've been run down by a freight train, and the pressure's getting to me some. Yet it is nothing comparative to the struggles of so many more with so much less. When I think like this, I remember what I have and not what I have not.

Advice I would hand to anyone else, and what I tell my wife while, at the same time, I tend to her and make her feel better.
