I did not feel well this morning, so I stayed in bed after taking some T&T (Tramadol & Tylenol). 

James had some bad news this morning. The water pump that provides water for the lawn and horses broke and drained 3,000 gallons of water from the tank. One more project for James to do. Luckily we still have water in the house because I really needed a shower this morning. 

We made a trip to town this afternoon. We stopped at Culver's for lunch. I had my usual chicken and cashew salad. James ordered shrimp. I had one of his shrimp and I wished I had ordered shrimp. Later I looked up the nutritional info and it seems they have more carbs than one would think. 

James went to Home Depot while I shopped at Walmart. When he was finished at Home Depot James came over and bought a cover for his phone at Walmart. 

On the way home I told James I was feeling sad and depressed. This was the advice he gave me: "Forget about what you have to do and just think happy thoughts." It sounds rather glib but for some reason it calmed me down and I felt like he really cared. For me, it was the right thing for him to say, at least today it was.

"Applying the simplicity that is in Christ makes us prioritize people over processes and eternal relationships over short-term behavior."
- Elder Michael Cziesla

Exodus 15:2
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
