Up at 5. Where's Tom? On the high chair at the high table near the entryway. He stayed in all night and was in no rush to go outside this morning.

After scriptures I had planned on taking a shower and washing my hair and spending a leisurely day at home. James changed my plans by asking me how soon I could be ready to go to town with him. He needs to go to Lowe's for some supplies for Hipps's. 

I took a shower, but didn't wash my hair. I will do that tomorrow morning. I was ready to go in 30 minutes. 

I drove James to Lowe's and went inside with him because he thought I might have to do some lifting for him. We looked at joist hangars. James chose two different types to take back to Brother Hipps to look at. One was over $6, the other around $3. We're hoping Brother Hipps will choose the $3 one...which he did!

James's thumb is really bothering him and he wanted to see if we could find a sling to stabilize it. He asked me to be quick and then followed me inside Walgreen's. I went straight back to where the pharmacy was and picked out the only sling they had which cost $15.99. I went to the front, checked out, and bingo we were done.
I think James was impressed. I helped him put the sling on. I hope he will use it all of the time, but I doubt it. It's too confining.

James was hungry and wanted to get lunch at LaCasita when I reminded him that it was only 10 a.m. He mentioned Burger King, so I took the shortcut over the hill and got in line at Burger King. The line was short, I was number one. I noticed that the Whopper Jr.'s were $4.19 on the menu. I ordered two of them without mayo and the guy said, "that will be $5.42." I reminded him that I wanted two. He said "yes, that will be $5.42." When I got to the window I told him why I was confused and he said, "Oh we have a special today, 2 Whopper Jr.'s for $5. Nice.

We noticed lots of smoke on the way home. I downloaded the fire watch app on my phone and we discovered there was a fire 7 miles out of McNary called the Brushy fire. The smoke is from that fire.

When we got home we took short naps and then while I was working on my blog, James snuck away to the Hipps's and the Tignor's. Brother Hipps chose the $3 joist hangar and James dropped a check off for T-Bo, only to find out that Barbara is not feeling well. James offered help but T-Bo said he was capable of taking care of her. 

This afternoon I worked out in the garage. I swept it out which made it look so much nicer. I straightened some things around and then I tackled the garage refrigerator. There was a rotten bag of salad which James got rid of. I sanitized the entire refrigerator and it looks and smells so much better. It's ready for Kim and Brian to come on the 11th.

James is disappointed because the Vernon Fire station will not allow him to burn his scrap lumber even though the fire restrictions have been lifted. 

He rested this afternoon and then did some walking and listening to his book, with my phone I might add. 

I did some blogging and reading and played with my Tomster.
