Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
During the Council in Heaven in the premortal existence, the plan of salvation was discussed and sustained. It included certain laws and ordinances of the priesthood instituted before the foundation of the world and predicated upon the gather. It also included the overriding principle of agency.
We were up and gone by 6:30 this morning, reading and discussing scriptures on the way. My infusion is scheduled for 10:15. We went the Payson way and there was quite a bit of traffic but we did not have to stop for any roadwork.
When we arrived in Payson we stopped for gas at the Circle K. I bought a couple of breakfast sandwiches for us to eat. James ate all of his. I ate about half of mine which wasn't very good.
James dropped me off at AARA at 10:00. Frances came and took me back less than five minutes after I checked in. My infusion was put in at 10:10 which means I will be finished at 11:10. Amanda put in my infusion and also drew blood. At 11:00 a girl came and took me into a room to wait to see Rana, one of the PA's for Dr. Kumar. I told the girl I needed to leave at 11:15 because I had a ride coming at that time. The beeper went off on my infusion indicating that it was finished so I had it taken out. I waited in the room until 20 minutes after 11 and then I left. As I was walking out Rana came out of a room. Instead of acknowledging me, she walked away down another hallway.
Kim and Brian were outside waiting and Kim was so sweet. She said, "We can wait longer if you need to see the doctor. I told her I didn't that it was just a formality. They took me home with them.
Brian was busy and after doing the dishes went back to the computer room. Kim fed me and made me comfortable. I had popcorn, peanut M&M's and then we watched a Christmas movie. After the first movie Kim brought me some chili and chips and we watched a Lifetime Christmas movie with Yannick Bisson in it. I love Yannick. I used to watch him in "Sue Thomas F. B. I."
I sat in the recliner with a blanket and took a nap. Kim also took a nap. When we woke up from our naps we were talking and President Eyring's name came up. I told the story from his talk about emailing a girl he didn't know to bring the Lord's love to her. Kim said, "He wrote me a letter." What?" She explained. Brian wrote to him and told him about my health struggles and he wrote me a letter. I asked her if I could read it and she brought it to me. It was the sweetest most tender letter. President Eyring mentioned his wife Kathleen and how in spite of her health issues her spirit remains strong. He mentioned he could tell how much Brian loves her. No wonder President Eyring is her favorite. He is mine too.
Brian was pretty quiet today but I found out later that he is pursuing a job in Montana where he would be managing a group of hardware stores. Yikes! I don't want Kim and Brian to move to Montana.
Brian and Kim drove me to the Hilton hotel on Frye road where we have a room. I thanked them for everything before saying goodbye.
Kim loaned me a book when I left her house. When I arrived in room 240 I sat down and began reading from the book.
James got here after six. He showered and changed his clothes and I got ready to go out. We walked to Cheesecake Factory for dinner which was about 5,000 steps. I had pasta with marinara sauce and James had herb crusted salmon. I couldn't eat all of my dinner. I left it behind because although our room has a refrigerator it does not have a microwave. We spent a few minutes in Barnes & Noble next door to Cheesecake Factory in the Chandler mall but it was almost closing time so we didn't stay long.
We walked back to the hotel and I got ready for bed. I was not feeling well. James went to Safeway to get a disposable razor and some pomegranate juice. Unbeknownst to me he also got a cantaloupe and left it in the truck. Oh yes, he got me some aspirin at my request. I am miserable and don't want to take Tramadol at night.
Oh yes, Sheri texted me and said she was speaking in their sacrament meeting on Father's Day. I told her we would be there. She said, "Thank you Mom."
