Up at 4:01. Sometime during the night I decided I would go with James today in the truck. It is silly for me to take a car just so I can go shopping when it is not necessary. I have enough family in the valley that I surely will be able to get a ride from the AARA to Chandler Eyecare. I texted Sheri and asked her if she could come and get me. Yes, she can.
We left at 6:00. We went the Payson way because James asked me which way I wanted to go. We stopped in Payson for gas and then we were on our way. The desert was beautiful, so green and covered with yellow and purple flowers.
We stopped at a McDonald's close to AARA to use the restroom and have a little breakfast. James dropped me off at 9:30 and my appointment isn't until 10:15. I walked around the building a couple of times and went in at 9:50 to register and wait for Frances to call me back. Normally it takes about five minutes to call me back. Today, I waited, and waited, and waited until finally at 10:20 Frances came to get me. The girl who usually "pokes" me to get my infusion started had a difficult time. She tried 2x and was unsuccessful both times. Ang came over and was successful. It was 10:25 and it takes an hour for the infusion to be complete. I texted Sheri and told her my situation hoping I could still keep my appointment at Chandler Eyecare. She texted me back and said if I couldn't be there by 11:45 my appointment would be cancelled because of their busy schedule.
I decided I needed to cancel and reschedule. She suggested I not wait a month but come down with James sometime in the next week or so. I said I would have to talk to him and look at my schedule. I was a little bummed. I asked Sheri if she could go to lunch and she said she couldn't because Evan has an orthodontist appointment. She asked if I still needed her to pick me up. I said no, I was going to call Stacy and she if she could, which she said she could, and she did.
Stacy was running a little late because I really didn't give her any warning so I started walking south on Arizona Avenue. We met up just north of the QuikTrip on Az Ave and Guadalupe.
I went with Stacy on her Grub Hub run. She only made one delivery from the Chikfila on Gilbert and Germann. She made the delivery and earned over $6.00. She isn't going back out until later because the lunch rush is already over. We went to her house and I just relaxed and enjoyed visiting with my daughter. We went to Circle K to get a drink and then went back to Stacy's. Soon James showed up and we left. Before he came Paul came out of his work room and gave me a hug and then went right back in to work.
I told Stacy about my prayer journal and writing my prayers. I told her it helps me to stay focused and I feel closer to Heavenly Father as a result. She was intrigued and said she was going to try it.
James finally showed up and he was very hungry. I told him I had already eaten. I ordered him a machaca burro and an order of strips, cheese and beans from Elmer's. We went to pick up the order and then we stopped by Kim and Brian's to pick up a piece of her blueberry lemon cake. It was delicious. James said I ought to make this cake next. I don't know. I want to make one for Mother's Day. Right now I am thinking of strawberry or a hummingbird cake.
Although I was bummed that I didn't get my eyes checked today I am grateful I got to spend some time with Stacy. Her foot that she had surgery on in December is not healing. The bone is not growing back together and she is going to have to have surgery again in about three weeks. She is extremely worried. She makes about $2,000 a month with her Grub Hub business and she will not be able to do it as her foot heals. The doctor said she has to stay completely off of it for at least six weeks. I told her I would pray specifically for this problem and she should to. I think I was meant to be with Stacy today and the Lord lead me here.
We stopped at the Costco in Gilbert and picked up a few things that added up to $130.00. Wow! It is certainly easy to spend money on the "little things."
Darrel had a friend who wants some concrete work done in his back yard and James is going to bid on it. We stopped at the Packer's Kent and Kelly's, and James looked at their backyard and it's accessibility for concrete trucks which is actually non-existent. It will either have to be hauled in with wheel barrows or pumped in.
Since we were already almost to Apache Junction we went home the Globe way.
When we got home our first item of business after putting out groceries and other things away was to walk and listen to our book.
We were appalled and shocked that two of the main characters in our series were shot and killed by the Germans; Hans Eckhart and Allamond Ziegler. We were both very disappointed.
