I got up at 3:54 and didn't stop until about 6 p.m.

Catching up on my blog is taking much longer than I imagined. Part of the reason is my photo app doesn't work right half the time. I need to do two posts a day to catch up. Today I did June 30th but I only did one day. In my defense I was gone for six hours today.

I had an eye doctor's appointment at 11. Cynthia was the person who called me back and prepared me for the doctor. She was very cute and had a tattoo on her arm that looked like a tree. I asked her: "Can you tell me about your tattoo?"

She said: "Oh, it's the Tree of Life." She didn't know that the Tree of Life represents the love of God. To her it represented the love she had for her partner who passed away in 2020. I am glad I asked because we had a nice conversation.

 Dr. Palmer says I don't need yag surgery in my left eye. He says I have floaties behind my eyes and that's what's causing the blurry vision. The only way to correct it is with surgery and he doesn't recommend that right now. He asks if I have been using eyedrops and I told him about my eye mister. He said to use it often throughout the day.

I had lunch at Culver's, my strawberry chicken salad. The place was packed. Georgia Jameson delivered my food. She didn't recognize me as a member of her ward but she said she would look for me at church from now on. 

My appointment at Walmart to get my oil changed isn't until 1:30 so I had some time to shop at Dollar Tree where I bought all of the birthday cards I need for August. I also bought two baskets and began making "care" baskets, one for Cress Miller who recently had knee surgery and one for Pam Giles who recently lost her dog of 13 years. 

While my car was getting the oil changed I did my grocery shopping. On my way home I stopped at the Virtuous Pain Center and picked up the paperwork James needs to fill out before his appointment on the 22nd. It was hot outside. I checked my car thermometer and it said it was 95 degrees. We need some rain.

I also stopped at the post office and there was a manilla envelope from the Registrar of Contractor's with papers to fill out for James hearing with Darryl Johnson on August 6th. 

After putting all of my purchases away I needed a little R&R. 

After resting for awhile I listened to my book, "Royal Intrigue" and went outside to plant flowers. 

James used my phone to listen to his story while walking when he got home. I had a shake for dinner.

"Essential to God's great plan for the mortal growth of His children was for them to experience "opposition in all things."
