Hamilton, New Zealand
11th Temple
We left for the valley around 7:30 this morning. We went the Payson way because honestly, I still don't like going through Salt River Canyon.
We forgot to get gas at Splash n Dash and ended up paying more. Gas keeps going up everyday.
We got to AARA at 11 and my appointment for my infusion isn't until 11:30. Hopefully they can take me a little early. Frances came and got me and weighed me because it has been awhile. I weighed 120. She made a comment about how much weight I had lost.
James made a trip to Deseret Industries while I was getting my infusion. He brought the container of clothes we keep in the closet, and put it in the back seat of the car on top of the jacket he brought. Somehow the clothes spilled out and when he picked them up he also picked up his jacket and gave it away along with our castaways. He was quite distraught because it was his favorite jacket, the one we bought in December at Costco that has snaps instead of buttons. James has a hard time doing up buttons because of the pain in his hands. I tried to console him that we could get another one but it probably won't be until next winter.
Costco was our next stop. We got exactly six items: 2 cases of Fairlife shakes, one container of Perk, a container of dark chocolate caramels, some protein bars, and another bag of candy. Both bags of candy were for James although I did sample the caramels. They were very tasty. We both had hotdogs and a drink at the food court. The total cost for lunch was $3.25.
Sheri said she couldn't go to lunch with us because she had things going on at work. I really wanted to take Sheri to lunch to thank her for paying for my glasses. I should take her probably at least ten times.
We went on to Stacy's to take her the blue dress she left at our house and asked us to bring down. Nicole, Paul's sister's son Cannon is getting married on Saturday and I think she wants to wear it to the wedding.
We got to visit with Paul and Stacy, Joshua and Evan. Joshua, Evan, and two friends were playing video games. I gave both Joshua and Evan hugs. It was so nice to see them. Paul told me that he is now taking Sempia Aria, a medicine I was on before I went on Orencia.
Stacy told us that Vader needs surgery on his hind leg and also needs his teeth cleaned. The surgery would be $4,000 and the teeth cleaning, $1,600. I think they need some doggie insurance.
We left Stacy's and drove to Cathi & Terry's. As we came in Dawn was leaving to spend the afternoon with her friend Heather and her children and then spend the night with them. She gave us a hug and said she was sorry she wouldn't get to visit, but she seemed so excited to go. Cathi told us what a good friend Heather has turned out to be and such a help with Dawn. She helped clean out Dawn's classroom and bedroom at the Tempe house. Dawn thinks of her as a daughter but Heather knows she will not be inheriting the Tempe house.
James visited with Terry and I visited with Cathi and Mom. Cathi has new medication that hopefully will help with her "sweating" problem. Lois just got two new blouses from Amazon and she opened them. We talked a little about Dawn and I asked Mom how she was feeling. She says she is okay but she still has the "belching" problem. It was a nice visit and we were grateful we were able to visit.
We went home the Payson way. We didn't stop for gas. Gas was $3.95 at Circle K, $3.85 at Speedway and $3.73 at the Splash and Dash in Show Low where we finally stopped with our low gas light on for the last 20 miles. Splash & Dash was lower than Costco at $3.79. Little did we know that tomorrow would be 40 cents off day at Circle K.
