"As the influences of the world increasingly embrace the evil, we must strive with all diligence to stay firmly on the path that leads us safely to our Savior."
James was frustratingly trying to send a message to all of the parents of the children in his Primary class regarding this week's "Come Follow Me" assignment. I was compelled to help him and I entered each of the parents names into his contacts and then he dictated the message he wanted to send to me and I texted it into the phone and sent the message.
Book Profits webinar led by Jim and Herman again today. While James was listening I was listening in the background as I made chocolate cupcakes for my friend Kerri's birthday.
At 10 a.m. I met with Catherine, Kerri, and Maxine at Catherine and Kerri's house. I came with a platter of unfrosted cupcakes. I felt guilty and brought a can of frosting. Catherine said, "You may as well take that can of frosting home because we won't be using it."
Our purpose for being gathered at the Halcomb's besides bringing Kerri cupcakes, was to work on family history.
Maxine helped Kerri who had a notebook full of PAF papers. Maxine did not even know what PAF was. PAF was the last great family history endeavor, Personal Ancestral File.
I helped Catherine, using the plan I made in the consultant planner. I then asked what else she wanted to do. She wanted to do her stepmother's temple work. She was not in the system. We entered her but because she has not been dead 110 years, Catherine needs permission from her closest ancestor to do her temple work. Catherine says she is the closest living ancestor, so she sent an email to herself asking for permission. Sometimes Salt Lake requires certain things and we have to jump through the hoops.
When I returned after an hour James was buying books. He spent a great deal of time buying books today. He called about getting a wheel for his skidsteer but there is not one available at Cat. I don't know how he's going to get the old one off and lift it anyway.
I spent most of the afternoon paying personal and Lambson Construction bills. I am grateful we have the money to pay our bills. James made more money on the Chacon job than he had planned. All of that waiting, and pulling of hair, was worthwhile.
I called Amazon seller support today. They showed us selling two copies of our most profitable book. Our profits were up past $200 because of this. I wanted to make it right. When our conversation was over, Nathan, the Amazon seller support member, said to me. "Thank you for your honesty. We need more sellers' like you."
I am in the process of stripping the wax off the wood floor in the family room. It is a long, and tedious, and messy process and won't be done any time soon.
I was not feeling well later this afternoon/evening so I took a shower, got a shake and tramadol, and relaxed in my recliner and watch some Hallmark after finishing my 12,000 steps.
Her name should be Joy because that's what she brings.

This is the book that Amazon sold twice when we
only had one.
