Darrel took this picture of Lola. Trina's brother Bryce says she looks like Sherman from Mr. Peabody. 

 

Joel came to paint this morning and Alex, Ben, and Seth worked outside.  Seth got sick and went home early.  I think the heat bothers him.  James is remodeling the lights downstairs and left Skittles in the dark.  Skittles is the family love bird.  When Michael got home from San Diego he immediately brought her upstairs and put her cage on the floor by the fireplace.  She's been chirping and happy ever since.

 

Senor Tacos for dinner.  I wanted to go to Serrano's and get a chili relleno, but there was no place to park.  Senor Taco's chili relleno was okay but the thing that makes Serrano's so good is the sauce they put over it.  Maybe next week if I am feeling up to it.  I have felt a little better this week since my infusion.

 

James and I did a little grocery shopping at Walmart this evening.  He picked out a new watch for Father's Day since the one I got him isn't working.  I also got him some dark chocolate Hershey's Nuggets with almonds.  They are his favorite.  Walmart was crazy.  I wanted to come after dark when it was cooler and it looks like everyone else in Chandler had the same idea.

 

I also worked on our Primary lesson today which is on Repentance and the Atonement.

Michael says he's going to miss San Diego and the sunsets on the beach.

Lola and her cousin Ivy

 

I am miserable as I have been the last two Tuesdays and spent the day in bed.  I think it's because I take my 8 Methotrexate on Monday.  It feels like a string is running through me and someone is pulling it so tight that I can't move. 

 

Alex left on our wards high adventure today for the Priests and Teachers.  I am not sure why Ben didn't go.  They are headed for the Blue wilderness area in New Mexico.  As I predicted, Seth didn't show up for work. 

 

The new counters are corian, not granite, but I really like them because they are a light color.  Now we have to pick the pattern for the backsplash.  Michael helped us pick between the two that James brought home.  Michael also helped James put in the backsplash.

Somebody has to get back in that corner.



 

We had a flood in the laundry room today.  Someone pulled the hose out of the back of the washing machine while they were working and forgot to put it back in.  Stacy did a load of wash and didn't notice the hose was pulled out so the water went all over the floor.  Thankfully Paul caught it before it was too bad.

 

James brought me a meat toastado from Senor Tacos for lunch.  It was quite yummy. 

 

Amanda, Joe, and Michael had a jam session today as they did yesterday too.  Joe and Michael have written two new songs.  They harmonize very well together.

Amanda records them on her computer.  Alexus was here too.  She was studying for the SAT in the other room. 

 

All I accomplished today was doing a couple of loads of laundry.  I felt too miserable to do anything else.
