I woke up at 3 am and couldn't sleep so I took a sleeping pill and then I slept in until 8:30. Wow! I never do that.
As I was looking through Facebook this morning I noticed a post about our friend and fellow Vernon ward member, Roger Wallace.
He had a stroke and was flown to St. Joseph's hospital in Phoenix. Roger played Santa last year for our ward Christmas party. He has a beard and a jolly countenance. I sat by him when we went to dinner at Pasta House and really enjoyed his company. He is Ralph Sedig's brother-in-law. We will be praying for Roger and his sweet wife Lynn.
Darrel called today and said he had been to three Fry's and they were all out of cranberry celebration. He said he would check at work tomorrow and see if there was any at that Fry's. I said that was fine and if he couldn't find any I would call Brian and have him check the Fry's in Chandler.
Darrel called me a few minutes later and said he found some. He heard a rumor, I guess lots of people are looking for it, that they had some at the Fry's on Power and Baseline. Thanks Darrel. I offered to Venmo him $20 but he said it wasn't nearly that much and I didn't need to Venmo him anything. Thanks Darrel!
Stacy and I have been talking about our family Christmas Party where we normally eat and play the White Elephant Game. Stacy doesn't like the game. She says it's gift taking not gift giving. She says she won't play but if that's what everyone else wants to do, that's fine. I was watching a movie where everyone drew a name for Secret Santa and I suggested we do Secret Santa instead. She liked that idea and she is going to talk to her family and I am going to talk to everyone else and see what they think. The only thing I said was that if someone draws a name, they are committed to buy a gift for that person and come to the party. She agreed. Now we have to see how everyone else feels about this change.
I finally felt good about 4 p.m. today. That's when I actually got out of the bedroom and did some chores. I made some dinner and brought some apples in from the garage to freeze. James and I got the turkey out and I put on a dry brine and then we wrapped it in Saran Wrap and stuck it back in the frig.
I got a text from Kim saying she was sick. Joe had it first and shared with her. This is what she said: "My whole body hurts like it's on fire. Massive headache, sore throat, congestion, chills. I did not do my lesson Sunday. I tried, but I had different issues last week - dizzy, off balance, my eyes kept blurring in and out. I tried, but I could not read or write anything for longer than 20 minutes."
She said she and Brian probably wouldn't come up until Saturday instead of Friday. They were bringing a big dinner: Ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, rolls, stuffing, gravy, punch, pecan pie and pumpkin dessert.
Joe says he doesn't think he and Michael are coming up because Michael wants to stay a week and Joe can't miss that much work.
So we went from company to no company, at least on Friday.
Listened to Lynne Hilton Wilson as part of my "Come Follow Me" study. James and I walked and listened to "A Not So Distant Love."
