Benson no longer likes his
rocking bear.
James insisted we go the Globe way because it would be closer to Erik's school. We had to leave at 6:30 because the road closes at Superior from 9-2. After we were on our way I reminded him that we could have gone the Payson way and taken Bush Highway down to Ellsworth Rd. Erik's school is on Pecos between Power and Ellsworth. He agreed and said he had forgotten. I think he just likes going through Salt River Canyon.
I ran out of chewing gum and James stopped at the Circle K in Superior to get me some. He came back with a package of Orbit gum. I told him that I only chew one kind of gum and he should know what it is. He went back in and came back with a package of Extra. I told him that wasn't it either. He said that did not have any Mento gum. He knows what I chew he just didn't know that was the only brand of gum I like. Sorry for being so picky, Honey.
The name of Erik's school is: American Leadership Academy Applied Technology and is located at 7729 E. Pecos Rd. Erik was in the back to show James where to park the trailer. He said last time he parked it in the wrong place. We will be back to pick it up this afternoon around 3:15 as Erik has a meeting at 4. I'm not sure where the meeting is, so he made need to allow himself some travel time.
When we got to Chandler we stopped at Walmart for Mento gum, a bottle of Smart water, some cough drops for James and some coconut/almond milk for him also. Afterwards we stopped at Chandler Eyecare to say hello to everyone and to ask Sheri if she would mail Jared & Kacey's anniversary card. We saw Cayli, Ben, Addy, Sheri, and Nancy. We gave everyone hugs, except Cayli who only smiled and said hello. Addy had her first day of school yesterday and she went to one of the wrong classes, an upper grade English class instead of math. Addy loves math.
From Chandler Eyecare we drove north to my AARA infusion appointment. Amanda drew blood and put in my infusion. Ang prepared the infusion and Frances scheduled my new appointments for the next three months.
When I went outside to look for James in the parking lot he was in the back with the truck parked against the fence and he was cleaning the windows and the inside dashboard. He wants it to be clean for me. How thoughtful.
He had already bought gas at Costco across the street for $2.69 a gallon. We went back over to get some shakes, Pom juice and Perk.
When we were finished shopping I called Kim and ask if she and Brian could meet us at Cheesecake Factory for our lunch date because James has tools all over in the backseat of his truck. She said they would.
Kim and I both ordered the same thing we had last time. James got the same thing I did, the steak medallions off the skinnylicious menu. Kim had the chicken parm with noodles in Alfredo sauce. They also ordered this to take home to Joe along with a peach smoothie. Brian got a burger and fries and peach lemonade.
Kim was telling me about Joe's social calendar, even though he really would rather stay home, he is too nice to say no to people. Max comes over one night and they work on music, another night he watches a show with Adam and then plays a video game with him. He is also scheduled to have lunch with Dallin this week.
We made it to Cath & Terry's right at 2:00. Cathi had said the nurse was scheduled to come at noon so 2:00 should work well. Laura met us at the door and said the nurse, Kimberly, was two hours late and had just arrived. Stacy showed up a few minutes later because we had told her about our visit. Well, we didn't get to do much visiting with Cathi, Laura, or mom because they were tied up with the nurse. We did visit with Dawn and Terry. Dawn told us about Aunt Faye falling on Sunday evening and hurting her leg. She is in the hospital and they are talking about her going to rehab. Uncle Paul stayed to be with her but he will be going home soon. He lives with his daughter and her family in Oklahoma City. Aunt Faye wants him to live here but so far he has said no.
We couldn't stay long and neither could Stacy. She had to go to work and we had to get back to the school to pick up our trailer and the Razr. We barely made it before Erik left. He called us from his car as he was leaving, luckily we were just coming in. He already had the Razr loaded. He and James secured it with some yellow tape. James gave him a Nutella bar that Kim made for him. So far James has two birthday cards, one from his mom, and one from Kim.
This time I told James I wanted to go home the Payson way so we went up Ellsworth Rd. to Usury Pass and Bush Highway until it hits the 260. I slept much of the way. We stopped at the Safeway in Show Low for some bread. James went in and picked it out, since he is the one who eats it.
We got home around 7. Tom was in the house all day and wanted to go outside. There are tufts of black hair all over the deck. I guess Sammy and Blackie, or Jet, whichever you want to call him, got in to a fight. Tom went in and out and finally decided he wanted to stay in for the night and sleep at the foot of our bed.
I think one of my back teeth chipped off as I ate a Wurther's caramel that I got at Kim's. I am too embarrassed to call Pierce. I am just going to live with it for awhile.
