2 Nephi 4:35
Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh. Yea, my God will give me, if I ask not amiss; therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee; yea, I will cry unto thee, my God, the rock of my righteousness. Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God. Amen.

We left Darrel and Trina's a little after 8 this morning. We said goodbye to Trina, Ruby, and Addy. Everyone else was either asleep or gone. Before we left James and Trina talked about the big crack running across the floor in the living room.
Rita texted me the address to where Aunt Gene is staying and we were supposed to meet here there at 9. This is the address she texted:
25597 N. Bandolier Dr., San Tan Valley, Az. 85142.
Map Quest took us to the 35000 block but we could not find the 25000 block. We called Rita and she said she might have given us the wrong address. She just had surgery on her eyes and has a hole in her retina and can't see to full potential. We planned to meet her at the nearby Circle K so she could take us to the right address.
I went inside and got James and I each a breakfast sandwich and we were sitting in the car eating when Rita walked up and said, "Boo!"
Rita is thin and she wears a wig.
She rode in the backseat with us to Aunt Gene's. It's just a small house and the address was 35597 N. Bandolier Dr.
The visit with Aunt Gene was both rewarding and sad.
Aunt Gene was happy to see us and I gave her a hug and a kiss. She can't get out of bed and she weighs very little, but she is still my Aunt Gene. Aunt Gene and I talked while Rita and James visited.
She talked about my dad and how she thinks he never like her and how he threw a knife at her once. I told her that when she saw him again I thought things would be different. She then started talking about Randy and how hard it was to lose him. She told me how Randy started buying up businesses and got in financial trouble. She had put away some money from some stocks she cashed out away and she gave him $100,000 of that. She was going to save the rest but Randy needed it and she said he started crying and that's all it took for her to give him the money.
Aunt Gene then said she thought James was somehow related to her dad's family. I told her that his grandma and her dad's mother were sisters. Grandpa Arlee, her dad, was James's dad's first cousin. I told her and Rita that grandma told me that we would have idiots. Rita was shocked that grandma would say that to me.
Rita brought up the time Sarah Slim shoved me after playing basketball in P.E. and telling me that I thought I was the best player on the team. Rita reminded me that she had a little talk with Sarah afterwards and told her she better leave me alone. I'm grateful she stood up for me as we were not really close in high school.
We left about a quarter until 10 for my infusion. I need to be there by 10:30 and it's quite a ways away. I got there right at 10:30. James is going to do some errands and pick up some lunch while I am at my appointment.
Along with an infusion I saw Dr. Kumar today. I told her I was not feeling as good as I would like. She said my bloodwork looked great. She asked me if I wanted to do some tests and I said no. She was very sympathetic and supportive but I told her I wanted to leave things as they are for at least another month. Jeanne put in my infusion. I like her.
I had to wait for James for about 20 minutes. He went to Home Depot and then the cleaners, and Sheri's work. He got to meet Ben's girlfriend Kayli. I didn't even know he had a girlfriend. Sheri says she is a member but not super active.
I forgave James for being late because he picked up a drink and a bean and cheese burro for me from Elmer's. We ate our lunch in the Costco parking lot across the street from AARA where I get my infusion.
I have a $151.39 rewards check to use at Costco. They had lots of samples today. I think our favorite was the BBQ almonds even though we didn't end up buying them. We bought pistachios, paper towels, Acai and pomegranate juice, chocolates for James, facial towelettes, six throws and three spools of Christmas ribbon. I went about $50 over the $151 but that's okay because that will come out of my Christmas budget. Next stop, Lois and Dawn's.
When we arrived at Lois and Dawn's my right shoulder began to hurt. Dawn gave me an ice pack and I kept it on the entire time we were there and ended up taking it with me. I got to taste the cake Kim made for their birthdays. It was delicious. Lois had to tell me about Gail driving all the way down from Oregon, working on her yard for a couple of days and then driving back. She wanted to pay for his gas but he refused. He said the reason he is here on earth is to help other people.
I was pretty miserable on the drive home even though we went my favorite way, through Payson. My arm got so bad I took two aspirin. Later when I got home it was throbbing so bad I took two more aspirin. I may regret this later. I went straight to my recliner in the bedroom while James carried everything in.
