Well, of course not. If she sincerely enjoyed nausea, I&#8217;d have yet another reason for concern on her behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our son-in-law called today, mentioning the nausea situation and asking for our prayers. The effect that&#8217;s had on my daily schedule is mainly that my request for number-two daughter is more detailed now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of which, there are five sorts of prayer: blessing, petition, intercession, thanksgiving, and praise. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2644) Prayer categories can be subdivided other ways, too, and that&#8217;s another topic for another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About the household here in Sauk Centre: we&#8217;re not as sick as we&#8217;ve been, and that&#8217;s good news. I finally got the monthly authorization for meds sorted out, and that is definitely another topic for another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, I&#8217;ve been trying to get something ready in time for Saturday&#8217;s post. And that&#8217;s not going to happen, if I keep writing here.
