belly flops

mom did a great job on her lesson today. we got to church a little early so i could set up my laptop to run her presentation from. no problems. easy and cheesy. 

before the lesson started i was sitting with annabella. she finally got hearing aids. i'm sooooooooooo happy for her. no more not hearing grumps.  other grumps, sure. but not the hearing ones.

mom and i forgot it was a potluck sunday for brother gurney's 90th birthday. so after the lesson, i rushed home and grabbed two salads in a bag and got back in time to join in on ward choir. evelyn has a lot of plans for us. i think it's going to be fine. she's going to have me sing in swedish for ward conference but she's going to have others sing in different languages too.

the potluck was good. lots of yummy food and yummy desserts. especially the banana cake with chocolate chips. wow wow.

heather and i had a nice talk after i got home. i blah blah blahed to her all my things--as i do.

then mei-mei and i had a little snooze. she used her dresser top bed for the first time. sitting in the sun, watching stink bugs on the window. later she joined me on the bed.

mom made roast beef with mashed potatoes and honey carrots and a salad. delish.

after dinner we decided to do a different game and give boggle a rest. so we played quiddler. mom won once and i won once. quiddler takes a lot longer to play because you are trying to figure out how to use all your letters, and looking up words in the dictionary. is __ a word? no. is __ a word? yes!! mom looks at me skeptically. "use that word in a sentence."

i made mohammad say puddle in a sentence 5x on our saturday walk. he did some pretty good ones. but he only got a b+. better luck next time mohmmad. if you want an a+ you gotta do the work!

tomorrow is a big day. sam and i do our preliminary findings presentation. hope that goes well. and i fly to calgary in the afternoon. the next day i do my mock accreditation visit at the calgary clubhouse. butterflies. the report is due the next day at 12.

i'm flying westjet and i'm not allowed a carry on. only a personal item. i can't even pay for one. just a checked bag. but i dont' need a checked bag. airlines are so mean these days. 

gulp. g'night.
