Remember the toe accident yesterday? This is what my toe looked like when I went to bed last night. It was throbbing and I was glad to get off my feet. I really think I broke it...
Well, it was worse this morning. I painted my toe nails anticipating wearing some strappy sandals rather than shoes cause there is no way I can wear shoes. They just hurt too bad. Well, when I put on the strappy sandals, they hurt, too. I had to end up wear a stinky old pair of sandals with no heels and walk (limp) very carefully. I had to speak in church today, and it hurt to have any kind of shoe on, even the sandal. So I explained to the bishop what I had done to myself and asked if it was alright if I gave my talk barefoot because the shoes just hurt too much. No one sitting out there even knew, but I did give my talk barefoot! I just wonder what I am going to do tomorrow about work and shoes... I may have to wear stinky old sandals and not walk around too much!

November 26
I know I already posted for today, but it was an eventful day, and each event bears remembering:
Allen dropped in - Ava was fascinated with is uniform and equipment. He spent some time and explained the handcuffs to her. She was so interested in all detention officer stuff. She asked him if he worked for a policeman.
Becca and her friends were hanging out. They are such cute girls!
Becca and McKaela traded clothes. For some reason they thought this was something of note. I am glad Becca has good friends. I think I will call them "the Three Stooges."
I picked up Julie and Ava from the airport tonight. After Becca's friends went home, Julie paid her to rub her feet. Oh, brother!

November 20

Now for the story of the day: I sat a cross from Georgia. Our drinks were in close proximity. I reached out and took my glass (or so I thought) and sucked on the straw. I thought my face was going to turn inside out and my body did a shudder. I did not know what was wrong with that last few inches of my diet coke, but it was BAD! I then took a look and realized I had picked up Georgia's iced tea. They all laughed at me for sure. I don't know how people drink that stuff! Yuck! I thought it was a bad lime at the bottom of the glass or something.

and I was right! It was a stinkin' woodpecker. He has made this lovely hole into our attic on the west side of the house and has started two other holes. I talked to my neighbor about it and she said they have been all over the neighborhood and that several other homes have holes, too. Now we are on the rampage to get rid of woodpeckers!

Here's the recipe:
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (microwave proof)
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract. and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
the cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cook a little, and tip out onto a plate of desired.
EAT! (This can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous.)
And why is the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
Personally, I thought it was quite rich tasting. It is also more like a sponge cake texture-wise. I think the next time we try this, we will pour on chocolate sauce with whipping cream. Mmmmmm!

I know that she saw it from the other side of the sky and was equally thrilled. And now she is no longer in pain. Her body is at rest and her spirit is free! Thank you for helping me become who I am today, Carol. I love you so much, and miss you.

I got to spend some time with my precious grandchildren. I have missed them more than words can express. I had so much fun playing games with them, watching them ride bikes and skate board. They are brilliant and beautiful beyond description! When it was time to leave, Cooper and Savannah started crying. It was so hard to say goodbye. It made me cry, too!

Surprise! Heidi came, too!
Julie and I got to have lunch with LaRue, Janet and Heidi. It was so fun to see my niece! I don't get to see her that often. I really love my nieces and nephews!
