When James went to Chandler last week he got a request for an MRI from the doctor.  I called to schedule him an appointment for next week while we are down there.  It took several calls and lots of questions before I finally got an appointment for next Thursday.  During this process we found out that it will not be covered by workmen's comp because in January he cancelled coverage for himself. James is so miserable I hope he can wait until next Thursday.  He took a long valium induced nap today.
I found this information on Pinterest today:  " Seventeen year old Brittany Wenger won the Google Science Fair.  Her grand prize computer program can diagnose breat cancer with 99.1% accuracy.  It took her more than 600 hours to code.  Impressive.  I wonder what I was doing for those 600 hours.
I talked to my friend Karen Schneider today and we made plans for lunch next week while I am in Chandler.  I am looking forward to it!
James and I read 2 Nephi 23-24 today and I also read to him from "Secret for a Nightingale." 
This evening I went on a walk.  Here are some pictures I got of the moon.  I wish I had a better camera.


The moon was actually a beautiful yellow-orange color.
While watching TV tonite I walked over to turn the fan on.  As soon as I sat down I saw something crawling on the floor coming from the direction in which I had just watched.  It was a BAT crawling across the floor.  I am so thankful that James was here to take care of it for me.  Just earlier today I did some cleaning upstairs.  I swept lots of moth wings and dead moths up.  I asked James where they came from.  He said the moths lay eggs in the house and then lots of moths hatch.  The moth wings are the remains from the bat eating the moths.  Thanks little bat for getting rid of the moths, but from now on you need to feast outside and not in my house!
