I love trees!

 

I took two Tramadol this morning for pain and they made me so dizzy I spent most of the morning in bed.  I am wondering when the Actemra will start working. 

 

Joel, James, Alex, and Ben began working in the master bedroom this morning.  Stacy was relocated to the living room couch.  Joel knocked down the popcorn ceiling, Alex and Ben stared stripping wallpaper.  James got them started and then went to a meeting in Mesa about doing a tenant improvement project at some medical building for Jerod Bowen. 

 

When James returned from his meeting he went and got some hot and sour soup at my request.  This seems to be my food of choice when I am sick.  Lucky we have a Chinese restaurant close by. 

 

Joel worked all day and James went in and helped him paint the new ceiling. 

 

I paid bills this afternoon including someone else's car payment.  I co-signed for this person and when they can't make the payment, I have to. 

 

This evening James and I read from our new Julie Klassen book, "The Secret of Pembrooke Park."  I felt better this evening and I am looking forward to a good night's sleep.

Bishop Davis was a flight trainer for President Uchtdorf

years ago in Texas.  How fun for them to have their picture taken with him!

Amazing tree!!

Here are some notes I took this morning while reading Elder Callister's "Infinite Atonement." 

     "If the gifts of the Spirit are the medium by which we perfect ourselves, how can we accelerate our acquisition of such gifts?"

       1.  See all the best gifts of the Spirit orderly and persistently with all my heart.

       2.  We must ask so fervently that this pursuit is a constant unending struggle.

Even though James put a plug in my back driver's side tire last week, it is still leaking air.  We left a little after 11 to take it to Center Tire to be fixed.  We dropped Lexy off and walked over to Persnikkity's for lunch.  James had the green chili chicken sandwich with a side of potato salad.  I had the chicken salad sandwich with pasta salad.  We shared.  Everything was very tasty.  

We stopped at both Chase and National bank and then went on to Walmart.  James stayed in the car while I shopped at Walmart.  For a Good Works value experience I needed to make a two week menu plan and then shop and prepare the meals.  Today I did the shopping for one week.  

I read to James from the book The Book Thief both coming to town and going back home.  We still aren't sure if we are going to like the book but Kim liked it even though she said it was sad so I'm holding on to that.  Sheri said she wouldn't read it because she heard it was sad.  It's about a family in Nazi Germany during WW11.

We had salad for dinner and then watched Rizzoli & Isles.

Kim texted me from Oregon.  She said she had the ocean on one side of her hotel room and a herd of elk on the other.  I told her she must be in heaven.  She agreed.
