So sweet, yet very sad.

 

James and Bob put trim on the outside of this door this morning before 7am.  Lots of pounding.  Poor Dallin and Michael.





Where's the window?

I had an appointment for my arthritis today.  Thank goodness!

Dr. Caldron and Tiffany consulted together and decided I needed to continue on the Remicade, 8 methotrexate, and they added Tramadol for pain because they said it is less harsh on organs than Ibuprofen or aspirin. They think some of my pain is caused from previous flare-up and probably from some osteoarthritis. 

 

It took two hours after seeing the doctor for my infusion so I was there for a total of 3 hours.

 

I drove back to Chandler and went to Jersey Mike's for lunch with James and Dallin.

 

At 2pm I drove to Darrel's to watch Lola while he had a meeting at Fry's.  She was asleep when I first got there and when she woke up and saw me she seemed puzzled and surprised.  We got along fine and when the kids got home from school she was very happy to see them.  Rowan wanted me to play chess with him.

Rowan told me I could go first but I told him I couldn't remember how to play.  Ruby was giving me instructions.  Thank goodness Darrel came home before we could actually play.

 

Back in Chandler James, Seth, Alex, and Ben finished cleaning up most of the mess from the storage shed.  Brent and his assistant are still working on the sprinkler system.  At least we are making some progress.

 

I  had a pulled pork sandwich from Boston Market for dinner.  It was quite tasty.  For FHE we listened to Elder Renlund's conference address: "Latter-day Saints Keep on Trying."  We both enjoyed it.  He has a very soothing voice.

 

I felt good when I went to bed this evening.  Here is hoping it lasts.
