"My Mind Caught Hold upon This Thought" by Elder Neil L. Andersen

My knee was worse this morning instead of better. I couldn't bend it and I felt pretty lousy. While I was in bed moaning and groaning James was outside walking around the courtyard outside our room. He got 3,000 steps. 

We were going to go to the temple but I just wasn't feeling up to it. I was so sorry to disappoint James but I was just miserable. 

I sat down for what I thought would be a few minutes to work on the puzzle. James came in to help me. We ended up working for over an hour. 

I ordered Pei Wei for lunch but James said he didn't want anything because he still had some rice left from yesterday.  I told him I would share with him but he only had a bite. Today I got Spicy Korean BBQ steak with fried rice. It was yummy and not too spicy!

We listened to our scriptures in the car. We finished our lunch when we returned to the condo that James left to go to 51st Avenue for the final inspection by the doctor. James wants to make sure everything meets his approval so they are not called back again. This last callback cost him about $1,000. 

When James returned he took a shower and we laid down to take short naps. Soon James was on his way to pick up Jared Ammon at Stacy's in Chandler. He said the rush hour traffic on the freeway was horrendous. I said they should call it "crawl" hour. 

James and Jared Ammon went through Globe so they could work at Peeler's before going home to Vernon. 

Back at the resort I walked, read, blogged and watched a Christmas movie, "Christmas in the Air." The book I am reading is "The Bridge to Belle Island." My audio book is "Along a Breton Shore." I said a special prayer for Brian. 

This is the fun puzzle James helped me do.

This is soo me. James is a toast addict.
