I visited with Cathi this morning while I was working on my blog. At 11:00 I leave for my infusion at the Arizona Arthritis and Rheumatology Associates office in Mesa. One girl poked me twice trying to find a vein and was unsuccessful. The next girl poked me once and thank goodness she was successful. I was beginning to feel like a pin cushion.
The TV was on in the infusion room and a special report came on. Two armed gunmen opened fire at a county complex in San Bernadino, California during a Christmas party. Fourteen people were killed and seventeen more injured. The two gunmen were later killed while driving their black SUV. It was a man and a wife, both of them were Muslims. Since the initial attack information was discovered linking them to the terrorist group ISIS. We are under attack right here in the United States.
After my infusion was finished I did a little shopping. I got a medal case at Hobby Lobby to display Michael's track medals in. I went to Walmart to look for the Star Shower laser lights I saw there the other day. I think it was the Walmart in Show Low. The one here on Arizona Avenue did not have them. I did pick up my Tramadol prescription so the stop was not a total loss. I also went to Sam's Club and picked up some blankets. I always give each one of the grandkids a blanket for Christmas.
When I got back to Cathi's, Terry was home. I had a short nap and then Cathi and I got ready to go to Deseret Book to a book signing by Ann Romney.
There was a little crowd already gathered when we arrived. We listened to Ann read an excerpt from her book, "We Are In This Together." When it came time for her to sign books she said: "How can we make this go quickly, I have a plane to catch." Cathi and I were both a little disappointed and it felt like we were rushed through the line. No time for pictures, unless you were her special friends, and barely time for her to look up and say: "Hello."

After I got my book signing, Cathi took my picture.
All of the proceeds for Ann's book go to support
research for MS, alzheimer's, and brain tumors.
When we got home we I had a tamale, some of Cathi's beans, and cranberry celebration for dinner.
We only watched one movie tonight, "Mrs. Miracle", because Cathi has to get up early tomorrow and spend 8 hours serving at the Records Center in Mesa with Terry for their mission.
