Family Meal
For several days I have wanted pizza. Stephanie and William came over today and I suggested Domino’s. Everyone agreed. I got a pizza, Alex got a pizza, William got a pizza, Ben got boneless chicken, and Stephanie got baked cheese pasta. We all got a soda. Brandon is in Indiana with Nevaeh today but he…

Ether at Rest
Ether is resting in my lap. He has been very affectionate since the veterinarian. The fleas are mostly dead but his head and neck are still knobby. But he can relax again and is mostly choosing to do so on me. He’s a good cat. I wonder how much of my life I could live…

Deep Cleaning
I’ve been reading up on fleas. Medicating the cats is only half the battle. The affected carpet and bedding needed to be cleaned too. I was already doing laundry today so I threw Ben’s couch blankets through the wash. I also moved a bunch of furniture and deep cleaned the living room carpet. I had…

Cat Naps
Last night I stayed up later than I should have playing a video game. I turned it off at about 11:30 and was settled into bed by midnight. But Magic wanted to be near me once I was settled. She jumped up on the dresser next to my bed and groomed herself. As she spread…

D&C 135
I like to believe I have an informed testimony of the martyrdom of Joseph Smith Jr. The basic fact that he was murdered in jail before he could stand trial for treason is uncontroversial. Whatever else you might think of his life and glory he was definitely shot to death before he could be tried.…

Airing the House
We’ve been running the new air conditioner everyday for several weeks. Today I turned it off, opened windows, and turned on the house fan. We needed the air and it was cool enough outside that the house didn’t get hot and muggy from the change. I should probably close everything up before I go to…
