What does it mean when it says the temperature is 28 but feels like 15? I don't get it.

James's neck and shoulders hurt from the work he did yesterday, I gave him a heat rub and then he put the heating pad on. Mornings are a struggle for both of us, especially for James if he's worked hard the day before. 

We left for town around 10 o'clock this morning. We took a load of clothes to Goodwill and our next item of business was to wash the car. We went to Circle K to get gas and to wash the car but the carwash was closed for repairs. James dropped me off at Walmart while he went back to the "big" carwash to wash the car. He got back to Walmart in time to pick up his blood pressure meds and to help me check out. 

On the way home we stopped at Culver's for lunch. I had my chicken cashew salad and James had the cod fillet meal with a side of cheese curds and coleslaw. Those cheese curds are good, and the coleslaw wasn't bad either.

Before going home we stopped at the Halcomb's to say goodbye to Catherine who is going down tomorrow to stay in a senior living home in Mesa, Brooksdale North.

Catherine seemed in good spirits today and talked about the home she was going to. Kerri was running around packing things in boxes. Catherine said her dog, the great Dane, knew something was going on and kept laying her head in Catherine's lap. Part of me is sad this is happening and part of me thinks she will get better care and it is for the best. I wanted to take Catherine's picture, but she had a bruise on her face and her hair was affright. I promised her that when I was in the valley I would come and visit her. 

Back at home I blogged Saturday and Sunday. I am so close to finally catching up! I paid our tithing and made an appointment to go to the temple tomorrow to do my 30th endowment session of the year. James says he won't be able to go with me.

I ordered heart-shaped ornaments for my Relief Society lesson and made a schedule for wrapping gifts. If I wrap two a day, I will be finished by the 18th. 

I am worried about finances right now. Although James has two jobs we have not seen any income from either job.

Marvin Johnson has taken a turn for the worse and Paul is asking for continued prayers.

I want my Razr for Christmas.
