October General Conference

"Humble to Accept and Follow" by Elder Joni L. Koch

Barb & Elaine

"Praise to the Man" by President M. Russell Ballard and

this week's Book of Mormon, Come Follow Me lesson

I woke up not being able to bend my right arm up to scratch my nose or touch my ear. I took a shower and had to wash my hair with just my left arm. It was difficult. I took some Tramadol and Naprosyn. By this afternoon I was able to bend it further and further.

I listened to Barbara & Elaine discuss President Ballard's testimony and conference talk. They both have met him personally and felt of his goodness. They also talked about this week's Come Follow Me lesson. 

I had shrimp linguine for lunch. I love it so much. It's a good thing it's going to be gone soon. James had some for dinner.

I'm washing the dozen or so towels before I wash the sheets. I think they may have used every towel we have. We found some out in the garage that they used to clean off the seats of the Razr.

James worked outside several hours today. I cancelled our reservation at my favorite Embassy Suites because my reservation was for a one room suite instead of two. I made a reservation at the Embassy Suites, Anaheim Orange. It was a little cheaper but it costs $30 a day to park.

I contacted Harold today about a blanket of his that Rita gave me. I guess she bought some furniture from him and it was wrapped in this blanket. I offered to bring it over this week and this is the response I got: 

 Karen, I have just gotten out of the hospital after a week. They said I had Covid and my small intestines are bad. When I feel better I will call you. 

I asked if there was anything I could do for him and he said no. I told him I was so sorry he was sick. James and I will pray for him.

Sheri is having a biopsy on February 7th and asked if I would be in the valley. I told her I could come if I was needed. She needs someone to take her to the appointment and bring her home. Alex will be driving people for the Phoenix Open and Ben will need to be at work at Chandler Eyecare. I told her I would be happy to come down and take her. I think I eased her worries.
