Brisbane, Australia
Temple #115


Kat & Larry came to work today. James had them sand the upper logs in the back. Why not finish the front. I don't know, but I would like one area finished.

I went to town while Kim stayed home with James and watered the backyard. I guess he slept the entire time.

First stop for me was the bank. $500 out. $400 for Kat & Larry, the rest for Stacy & Paul's anniversary, Summer & JB's, Max's and JA's birthdays. I got some more money out at Walmart.

I went to Home Depot to get log stain. I paid with my Prime credit card. After shopping at Walmart, including some things for Kim, I paid with my debit card so I could get some cash back. I didn't see my Prime card in its' usual place in my wallet. I thought I had lost it at Home Depot but when I went back to check it was nowhere to be found. I cancelled the card and ordered a new one. A few days later I found the card in the back of my wallet. Oh well, too late now.

I picked up some lunch at Culver's. Shrimp for James and a strawberry fields salad for me. James ate 2 or 3 shrimp and I ate the rest. I ate the strawberries off my salad and put the rest in the frig for tomorrow. James went back in to take another nap. I paid Kat & Larry their $200 for today.

I put groceries away, rested and red from Emma M. Lion volume 5. I ordered volume 6, a paraffin wax melter for my hands, and a patriotic puzzle.

This evening I cleaned the chairs and table out on our deck, getting ready for the rainy season. James is up. He visited with me on the back porch while I finished sweeping. He says he wants me to do a budget. I reminded him I gave him a budget when we were doing the reverse mortgage. I said I gave up on it because of all the upkeep expenses. He then informed me it was going to cost $40,000 by the time we are finished.

For dinner James had cottage cheese, pineapple, beets, and toast. After dinner we all wanted to watch a movie but instead I was on the phone with someone at Dish named Charlotte, trying to fix our DVR. She said we needed a new receiver and she is sending out a tech. He will be here Friday morning. It was after 9 when I was finished talking with Charlotte, no time for a movie.

And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
