home, but alone
there is much i could tell you, of an anniversary dinner last night where bronwyn ate the national animal of south africa and took two hours and forty-five minutes to notice i'd shaved off my beard (again).
however, all that matters right now is to tell you i am home, but alone. (though nick and hayley are here.) that's because while bronwyn started back at school yesterday, she hasn't been 100%. after she come home at lunchtime today, we saw a GP just after five, were at accident and emergency (again) an hour or so later, and bronwyn has now been admitted to st george's hospital overnight for observation.
she's had blood tests and a series of other tests already, and they all came back reassuring. the theory is still that it is a virus, which she has been fighting for the last 10 days now. clearly she went back to work too soon, and there is no question that she'll be off for the rest of this week at least. there are two weeks of the school year left from tomorrow, and we shall see if she makes any of this.
each evening, just before we go to sleep, bronwyn and i read the bible together. at the hospital tonight we didn't have a bible. however, bronwyn recited psalm 139 for us... that ancient song begins...
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
amen. your prayers are appreciated tonight.
