Woke up at 2;30 am and decided to wash out my only pair of garments.  I laid them on the air hockey table and turned the fan on to dry them.  I tried to go  back to sleep but had a hard time.  The last time I looked at the clock it was 3:30 am.  The next time was 7:05, time to get up.  I got up and went through our pile of mail.  I got a note from our dental insurance that they didn't cover my crown because my insurance expired.  (I looked in to this and it was a big mistake.  I am no longer under James's policy but under my through Cobra.  They did end up paying for my crown and now I need to schedule to have another one. )  I think I may wait until next year to get my next crown.

Before I leave for the hospital I drag the air mattress in the house and fill it with air.  Just as I was ready to leave I got a call from Sheri asking me if I could take Ben to school because his bike has a flat tire.  Ben asks if we can take Ian Wanlass too.  Sure, but he will have to ride in the back on Grandpa's bed.  I drop Ben and Ian off at Bogle Junior High and make a deposit at Chase bank.  While there I see that a new cupcake place is opening on Queen Creek and Alma School near Pei Wei.

After leaving the bank I drive across the street to McDonald's to get some breakfast, a diet coke and a bacon egg biscuit.  James can't eat until the doctor reads the results of the MRI and lets us know if he needs another surgery.  He will need surgery if the infection has reached the metal in his leg.  As I'm driving towards the freeway I decide to go get gas and wash the Vernon mud and dust off Lexy so I head for Sam's Club.  It is after 9:30 before I arrive at the hospital.  James is asleep but when I give him a kiss he wakes up and asks me if I will help him email payroll to Stephanie at Comprehensive Business.  We have at least five people we are paying 40 regular hours and twenty overtime hours for the Desert Highlands job.  Payroll was over $5,000.

Good news!  James's leg looks much better and he won't have to have surgery to wash it out.  Thank goodness!

I was leaving to do some shopping when James called and said he could eat, so I went back in to the grill and got him a grilled ham and cheese on rye.  I never did go shopping.  I went home around 6:30 and watched Masterpiece Theater "The Execution" on Hulu Plus.

I went for a walk this morning for about 35 minutes.  I am gradually working up to 1 hour and hopefully will be able to go 3 miles and burn 300 calories.
James gets up in the morning and after breakfast and scriptures he takes his meds and lays down for a nap.  This morning he slept until 11 and then decided it was time to get up and work on payroll.  It took a long time because he had to email about sixteen pages to John at the payroll company.  We have two new guys who are not in the system.
The weather is absolutely gorgeous.  It clouds up and rain s and cools down to 70 degrees.  I feel like I am in heaven.  James took me to lunch at El Rancho today and I discovered their shrimp tacos.  Delicious!
Some of the things I did today: made chocolate chip and peanut butter chip cookies using a new receipe that calls for pudding.  They were quite tasty.  Talked to my friend Karen Schneider.  Played Scramble on my phone, watched Foodnetwork, and watched Misty Mae and Kerri win another volleyball match.  They play for the gold tomorrow against the other team from the US.  Go Misty and Kerri!

My yummy cookies.  Thanks Marci Coombs for the receipe!
