I got up at 3:30 and felt pretty lousy. I ate something, took some Tramadol and went back to bed. 

James left for the valley around 8 a.m. He has a meeting about a leak in a building they remodeled for Greg Hatch a year or so ago. He then has a meeting about the Dr. Memon job and then the Ravi Gupta job.  Armando didn't make it to all of the meetings because of a prior commitment.

I took a shower after James left and got ready to go visiting with Kathy Crane. Kathy always makes sure we have prayer before we go. I love that about her. She also made a comment that I agreed with:
"They sure know how to ruin a beautiful fall day with these prescribed burns."

Our first visit was with Patsy Tedder. Kathy gave her some white chocolate dipped Oreos, and I gave her a candle. We both love Patsy and enjoy visiting her. Next was Catherine Halcomb and her daughter Kerri although we are not Kerri's ministering sisters, we enjoy visiting with her too. Same gifts for Catherine and Kerri as for Patsy and Cindy. Catherine gave me a dress she bought at Ross that she says doesn't fit her right. I took it but didn't think I would like it because I didn't like the design of the fabric. 




When I got home, I had a little lunch and then went to Wagon Wheel to sign Lambson Construction's quarterly payroll report. It has to be signed today and since James isn't here, Cheri, our accountant said I could sign. I was so tired I almost fell asleep a couple of times. 

Back at home I sit in my bedroom recliner with Tom on my lap, and watch a Christmas movie. This is the life. 

Sheri said Max has a job in Superior as a security guard and EMT. She is not sure what company he is working for. Superior is a ways to travel for work. Sheri is waiting to see what Max and Evan's work schedules are to see if they can come up for Thanksgiving.

James was home by 5:30. Kathy and I never had a chance to visit Chelsea MacArthur. Kathy took her cookies over yesterday and said Ernie, their dog, growled at her and tried to nip her on the wrist. He also jumps up on you. This made me hesitant to go to deliver my candle to Chelsea and glowstick necklaces to the kids. I ask James if he would go with me to deliver them as Chelsea is still not home. She is opening a store, Arizona Meat Market, and is getting it all set up this week. Of course, being the sweetheart he is, he said yes. James actually got out of the car, took the goods, dealt with Ernie, and made the dropoff. Happy Halloween MacArthur's!

When James kissed me when he first got home. I said to him: 
"You had a burger, I can small onions." He admitted he did have a Whopper Jr. in town. 

I didn't buy any candy for Halloween because we never get any trick-or-treaters. I did not decorate for Halloween either. I had 15 glowsticks left from the bag I bought so I hung them in the hallway as my attempt to celebrate Halloween.

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene!

Again, I worked on my blog this evening while watching a Christmas movie. Tom slept inside with us. We were in bed by 8:30.
