And now, Holy Father, we ask thee to assist us, thy people, with thy grace, in calling our solemn assembly, that it may be done to thine honor and to thy divine acceptance;

 I was up at 5 o'clock today. You would think I would have gotten more done. It took me most of the morning to do two blogposts. I am determined to get caught up. 

I watched Joshua on YouTube in his play Edgar Allen Poe's "Tell-Tale Heart." He was the main character and did an amazing job. I am not a fan of Edgar Allen Poe, but I am a fan of Joshua's. 

Stacy called today and said that Paul got a job offer with Sonoran Quest. The only problem is the starting pay is $30,000 below what he was making at Amazon. Paul is going to make a counter offer of $7,000 more than they offered.

Paul has not been taking his Methotrexate because they don't have insurance and it is quite costly. I told Stacy I would send her some that I have left.

James had a meeting with Jimmie Applegate this morning. Brother Applegate is a little discouraged because of how long the process of getting doable house plans read is taking. Tim Lambson, Gail's son has been helping. Tim is an architect who lives in Oregon so his advice comes over the phone.

I used all the beeswax I ordered on the wood floor in the main area of the house. The video advertising the beeswax shows the floor shiny. It goes on shiny but dries dull. I was a little deceived.

I listened to Elder De Feo's conference talk today. When he talked about getting shots directly into his eyes once a month, I thought of Kim and her eye problems. At least she doesn't have that problem!

I paid Rock Solid, the concrete company who did the pours at the Landings. James sent off a bill to the Landings. Hopefully we will get paid soon.

James is upset because he says that Tom is ruining his blanket. Before Tom lays down he pushes his claws into the blanket. I told him I would get him a new blanket but he said no, surely was have another one that Tom will like. After this conversation I was surprised to see Tom laying on the blanket next to James tonight when we went to bed. James is tough on the outside and soft in the middle, just like a Ding Dong.

After watching Joshua on YouTube this morning I started "going down a rabbit hole." I Googled "Phantom of the Opera" because that is the play Show Low High School did last week. I thought maybe they had filmed it on YouTube, but no such luck. I then started watching Emmy Rossum, who played Christine in the film production of Phantom doing interviews with Conan O'Brian and Jay Leno. She told Jay Leno that her kindergarten teacher recommended she go try out for the children's choir at the New York Metropolitan Opera. She tried out and made it, singing with them from the age of 7-12. I do love her voice!

James was priesthood protection at Young Women's tonight at the church. He happen to see Brother Peeler there and wished him a Happy Birthday. Brother Peeler thanked him again for the cake and said that it was delicious and it was half gone.






My kitty is so funny when he sleeps!
