Today was an interesting day. We arose at 6:00 a.m. and read scriptures and conference talks and said prayer for an hour. We then had breakfast and I went to Physical Therapy. I still was not feeling well. In addition to my hip hurting from the Sciatica I was aching all over which I think was Fibromyalgia but it is hard to tell sometimes. Larry said that his feet were hurting so he did not want to exercise.
It took me about and hour at PT and we did not do traction because I am thinking that may be what has been making me worse. I came home and we got ready and went to Weight Watchers. We both lost 2 lbs this week so we were feeling good about that.
After eating lunch at the apartment we went to the Mission Office. Larry had a guy flying in to buy a car from him from Utah so he was focused on that and getting the new cars ready for Tiwis so he was in and out going to the DMV and the Airport and the Post Office. I was working on my referrals and supply orders but most of the time wishing that I could go home and go to bed because I felt so awful. I also called and got and appointment with a Chiropractor to see if they could help because it seems that the PT is making me worse. I was also trying to work things out so that we could get the boys pinewood derby cars finished because Nathan was not able to get the help to finish them before he left.
About 2:30 p.m. I realized that I could not go any further with the supply orders until I went home and looked for my clip board that I had not been able to find in the morning. I use a clipboard to take referrals and orders when I am out of the office. So I went home. I said a prayer on the way that I needed some help with my pain and that it was hard to function with what I was experiencing. I went home and got the clipboard and got me a Weight Watchers ice cream bar and on the way back to the office I realized that I was feeling fine. And I have felt fine for the rest of the day. I know God answers prayers.
About 5:00 p.m. we left to go to Converse to meet Sara with the kids and work on the cars. She had the cars. She also had a play practice this evening so we took the kids while she was at play practice. We stopped and ate at Jack in the Box, one of Larry's favorite places to eat.
We asked Doug Emmett to meet us at Nathan's apartment so we could get some tools because he had the key. He agreed to meet us at 6:45 p.m. when Sara wanted to meet us. When he had not got there by 7:00 p.m. I texted him and he was on his way to get them from his son who took them to work with him. He said he would be there in about 30-40 minutes. We had been planning to take them to orange leaf for a treat after but we decided to go then.
Orange leaf is a fun frozen yogurt place that you can dispense your own yogurt and add your own toppings and make your own sundae. I helped Maggie make hers and she always makes a lot. She adds chocolate ice cream with pink lemonade and gummy bears so it is not what I want to eat then she sits down and takes one bite and is finished. She has done this for about three times now. Tonight she decided that she wanted a drink after getting her sundae and we said we would not buy a drink before she ate her sundae so she just sat and complained about needing a drink. Finally she went into the restroom with me and drank water from the sink. When we came back Larry was eating her sundae because he, "was not going to throw it away after paying for it." So he got his sugar for the night. Next time I will buy her a juice box. Larry says there will be no next time.
When we got in the apartment we began to look for the tools for the derby cars. We found everything except the dremel tool box was empty except for the handle . We looked everywhere we could and could not find the parts to it. I don't know where it went because when we worked on pinewood derby cars for the Elders vs. High Priests it was full and had all the parts in it. We were frustrated. Larry wanted to give up but I suggested that we say a pray that we could figure out how to finish the cars. I ended up saying the prayers and got emotional while I was praying. We made a few phone calls and Brother Smith in our ward said that he would help us on Wednesday before the pinewood derby contest at 5:30 p.m. That seemed good but I guess that Larry realized how important this was to me because of my prayer and when we got home he agreed to try to find a dremel tool tomorrow and get some polished nails and work on the cars tomorrow. So again I am feeling like God answers prayers.
Kirsten called tonight when we got home. I talked to Kyle and explained to him that we would not be able to make it to his graduation but we would like him to come down to Texas after and spend some time with us. He agreed to come on June 1-8th and so we will need to get the ticket purchased soon. I also talked to Kirsten and Taylor for a while.
Well past time for bed. Pleasent dreams.
