 Breakfast was oatmeal as usual. I pray that I will sleep better tonight. I am trying to get rid of this cough and sore throat. Alan is getting things together to put in a box for his travel to Taiwan. I will hate to see him leave again. He was so good to make sure I had my meals and socks on and off. I am glad he worked on my computer; He was also teaching me all the NEW

things and it is hard for me to learn all these things as my mine does not work very well. Also it was great as he took me places. I know I am a problem as I am so crippled but he has patience with me. 

Jan. 31 morning

This was a busy, busy day. Breakfast was oatmeal as usual and check computer things then Alan and I went to Marie Callanders for lunch O what good food plus we brought home two pies lemon and banana pies and our leftovers from lunch. We went home and rested for a few minutes then off again to Wal Mart which Alan didn't take the walker so it was very hard as he had to push me in the wheelchair and push a basket for groceries. So he left me in the wheelchair while he shopped, so I could not shop me being in the wheelchair. I like using the walker then I can shop and just sit whenever I want to. Well maybe next time I will make sure he brings the walker. They had a lot of specials at WalMart.

I take two Acetaminophen at about 10:00pm but I still get pain at night. I am learning to live with the pain. I am reading the book of the life of Frank Dennis, it is very interesting. He is my age was born in September of 1929. I am a slow reader; I like to consecrate on what I read. Maybe Alan will be able to work on my computer things, as now he has finished working with the church things. It is nice to have Alan here, now Alden is back to teaching again. I stay in my room most of the time, as I can keep my room at a good temperature.

May be when Alan comes he can take me to Walmart to get a sweatshirt as I would like to have a sweatshirt now in this cold weather. It is almost 6:30pm and Alan has not arrived, I guess there is a lot of traffic, I pray for his safety when he drives down here. Goody he just came to give me a big hug.
