As I have mentioned the last couple of days, I’ve had a migraine and I woke up with it this morning after being awake half the night.

The Chosen, Season 4, episodes 7 and 8
The week I was staying with Dad and Elaine, I asked my friend, Wendy, if she would like to go see the last 2 episodes of season 4 of The Chosen in the theater with me. I could tell from the way she answered that she would do it for me, but if she were choosing a movie, that wouldn’t be one she would choose. When I moved to Mom’s house, I told her that I was able to get around some with Mom’s car and she didn’t have to see the movie with me, but she said she would still do it. It turned out that the closest theater was only going to be showing it through tomorrow, so we decided this morning to go this afternoon.

I mentioned a couple of days ago that when the electricity went off in the house, it fried Mom’s computer. A guy from Geek Squad came over to fix it. I told him that I had tried all the cords and rebooted the modem a couple of times. He looked on the other side of the desk and found a cord, unplugged it, plugged it back in and the computer started. Duh, Denise!

This morning, Mom was eager to go to the store so she came in to get me up. I’m not an early riser, but it’s not because I’m sleeping. I take that time first thing in the morning to read my Bible and pray.

At 3:30 in the morning this morning, the smoke detector in my bedroom started chirping. At 6:00, I finally crawled up on the dresser, took it down, put it in my bathroom, and shut the door, but I could still hear it.

This morning, I asked Mom if I could borrow her car to go get some cereal and she said yes, but I ended up getting more than cereal and was gone longer than Mom had anticipated, so she called me and asked if I was lost. I was just having way too much fun!

This morning, Dad wanted to walk back to his bedroom for a minute, but by the time he got back there, he was so winded that he had to lie down on the bed. Elaine said he needed oxygen, so I got out an extra long hose hospice had given us and attached it to his oxygen machine in the dining room, and it was long enough to go all the way back to his bedroom. He got nice and comfortable there and took a little nap.

This morning, my sister and her family came over to help take Dad to church along with his wheelchair, but by the time we finally arrived, the congregation was singing the last worship song, and then they were having Mission Sunday. Dad was disappointed that it wasn’t going to be a regular church service, so after about 20 minutes of being there, he decided he wanted to go home. There was a clan gathering to get ready for.
