Tom was outside this morning. James said he hit Blackie in the face with his paw a couple of times. Sammy beats Blackie up. Blackie can barely eat. He gags when he tries to eat the kibble. I gave him some Churu which is soft and he eats it all. 

I sent scriptures to Adam at his request. Adam wants to come here on March 12-15 with five friends. We only know one of them, Kaitlyn. I said yes but I'm not looking forward to it.

We got a Reverse Mortgage proposal today. They said our home was worth $1,500,000. We would wind up with about $366,000 after the mortgage on our home is paid and closing costs and mortgage insurance. We were a little disappointed and James thinks we can get more. He talked to Bert and Bert said we could possibly get more after an appraisal. Before the appraisal we have to have reverse mortgage counseling.

We made a trip to town visiting Culver's, Walmart, Home Depot, the Book Barn, and the carwash. I got temple stickers at Book Barn and we used our free carwash. Yes, the other day James complained that when we came one early morning, the day we went to the valley, and there was no soap. The guy was aware of the situation and gave him a $14 carwash. 

James has been complaining about his back and neck hurting and I convinced him he needed to order a special pillow. We looked on Amazon and I told him about the Nuzzle and that's the one I wanted him to order. Instead he ordered a different one with the idea that if he doesn't like it we can send it back.

I mailed Harold's birthday card today. I got my social security card. Sheri sent me a bottle of Ashwagandha pills. At home my black skirt I ordered from Amazon was delivered, my fruit and vegetable pills, and my new purple grabber. 

I finished my six RS wooden heart handouts today and walked 10,565 steps. I did a blogpost and had scriptures with James, Book of Mormon and Come Follow Me. I guess you could say I had a pretty successful day. 

James sent the titles to the two lots we are selling to Molly Quintana to her today. When she receives them she will send us the $4,000 we agreed upon. The sooner the better.

Brian had the flu and so I put his name on the temple prayer roll. 

We are still trying to get rid of our timeshare. It is not an easy process. We have not paid the maintenance fees for this year.
