We left around 7:40 for the valley this morning. I have an infusion and an x-ray at AARA. I failed to look at my calendar for the time of my infusion. I received a message that said I had an appointment at 11:30 and I assumed it was my infusion. In reality it was my x-ray. My infusion was scheduled for 10:45.
We went the Payson way and had to stop for road construction 2x between Heber and the rim. Still, we arrived at the office at 11:17 and I was pretty happy until I walked into the infusion room and Ang told me I was late. I told her I received a reminder and it said my appointment was at 11:30. She said, "yes, that was for your x-ray. Your infusion was at 10:45. If I had looked at my calendar I would have known. I apologized and said it would never happen again. Frances sets up the appointments and she is always careful to give me a card. I was so embarrassed!
In spite of my late start things went well. My infusion only lasted 30 minutes and then I went in to get my x-ray. It took about 15 minutes.
When I called James he said it would be about 15 minutes before he would get there. I told him I would be walking south on Arizona Avenue. I walked a mile and a half before he arrived. We headed for Sheri's office. Sheri is taking us to lunch.
You can see Michael's office from the Chandler Eyecare parking lot. I texted Michael to come out and give me a hug but I got no response. Later he texted and said he was in a meeting and was so sorry he missed me.
Cayli came to lunch with us and Sheri paid for everyone, including James. We went to Cafe Rio. I just ordered what Sheri had. A chicken tostado with green chili sauce and a drink. It was good, but I wish I would have had sweet pork instead of chicken.
I guess someone hacked into Cayli's bank account and pretty much wiped her out. Her dad is sending her some money but in the meantime she is broke. Ben probably would have come with us too but he was home sick today. He still has stomach issues.
Since Cayli and Ben are getting married on November 1st, I asked Cayli if she had picked out her wedding dress yet. She said she had and showed me some pictures. Her mom is going to come down and look at it before they actually buy it.
Sheri and Cayli needed to get back to work. We thanked Sheri for lunch and they were on their way.
We are staying at the Springhill Marriott which is right across a side street from Cafe Rio. It was 2:00 and check-in isn't until 3:00 but James asked if we could check in early and they said yes. We are on the ground floor in room 111.
Although I like the layout of the room it is in bad need of re-decorating. Oh well, it's convenient, right across from the mall if I want to do some walking, and the price was right.
James tried to take a quick nap before going over to his mom's to work on the roof but he just couldn't rest so he left. I took a nap and woke up a little before 5.
I got ready to go for a walk at the Chandler mall when James came home to go out. He had promised me a steak dinner and a movie tonight. I told him instead of eating I wanted to go over to Scheel's just to check it out. He got ready and we drove over. We did that instead of going to dinner. Afterwards I wished we had gone to dinner at Cheesecake Factory and gotten some crab cakes.
I had purchased tickets online for the 7:30 showing of the T.C. Christensen movie, "Escape from Germany." It's the story of getting LDS missionaries out of Germany before World War II started. We have heard good things about it and both of us wanted to see it.
The movie was clear over on Power Rd. It was playing at the Harkins near Chandler mall only the last showing was at 3:45. We were a little early so we walked around the theater until about 7 or so. I had picked the first two seats in the upper level so we could rest or feet on the bar. James took my phone and walked around the theater several times before anyone else came in.
The movie was done very well and we really liked it. I especially like the actor who played Elder Siebold who was given the task by the mission president of finding 20-30 missionaries who were still missing. He was great! Since this is a movie based on a true story, it was especially interesting.
On the way home we found a Chik-fila drive-thru and walla, dinner!
James got a chicken sandwich and I got four chicken tenders with the Chik-fila sauce. I ate two and saved the other two for tomorrow.
Back to Chandler and the Springhill Marriott room 111. I walked until I got 10,000 while James goes to bed. He is getting up early to work at his mom's in the morning.
