PA said I mostly likely had a virus, but to be safe she ran some bloods tests and then sent me back to the health center at RR7 to have a strep test run. Afterwards I went home and got some more rest. All the while Tara has been feeling like dirt and had the same thing that Zion and I picked up. Tara took Princess to the vet b/c she has been sick. Later that evening I had to pick up an Rx from People's Pharmacy that cost $42 that had to be compounded.
Tuesday - 22 May 2012 - Felt a little better on Tuesday morning and worked from home, but by lunch time my fever was 102.6 so I laid down again to get some rest. Got up later in the evening and finished working on my slides for Liz's Wednesday morning briefing.

Saturday – 28 April 2012 – Woke up at 5 am and took Princess
out and she finally went poop in the back yard.
I was so proud of her. Then I took her upstairs and put her back in her
kennel and then about 30 minutes Exodus actually used his words to say that he
was ready to get up (he normally just screams and throws all of his bedding out
of the crib). I then spent the morning cutting coupons and picking up around
the house. Zion got up about 6:30 and Phoenix got up about 7. By 8 am Phoenix
was tripping because he could find any of his other than his Crocs which he did
not want to wear outside. Tara got up about 9 and then took all the boys to Cat

manager that my skip level’s Wednesday morning briefing was optional for those
not presenting. I called in from the car for the 730 and gave my name and then
skip level made it very clear that she wanted all Austin personnel in the
office and at the meeting, so I high tailed into the office. Jamie and I went
to Pluckers for the March of Dimes fundraiser. After work,
Tuesday – 24 April – Received and email from an old friend
at DADS that Concordia was looking for PhDs who were Christian to teach in
their MBA program. I then obtained the MBA Coordinators phone number and left
her a message about 10am. At 12:30 she called me back and we basically had a
phone interview. It was evident that she
was about to pull the trigger on hiring me when she asked if I was a Christian
and I told her, “yes, I am a Mormon loud and proud,” in which she then
proceeded to tell me that she could not hire me because Concordia, a Lutheran
funded school, did not recognize Mormons as a Christian faith.
Monday – 23 April
2012 – Worked from home in the morning and then delivered Meals on Wheels at
1030. We had a quick family home evening
lesson where I showed the boys the difference between purchasing Kona Ice from
the school for $5 versus paying $1 for the same size Icee from the Signature
store. After dinner, Phoenix and I went to the YMCA fields for soccer practice.
Sunday – 22 April 2012 – We got up and I prepared breakfast
and got everyone ready for church. As we were about to leave Zion developed a
really bad nose bleed and so Tara stayed at home with him and Exodus. Phoenix
and I went to Sacrament Meeting and stay in the last pew with Jill Mast. Right before the start of the meeting I made
eye contact with Bishop Allison and made my way to the stand so that I could
bless the sacrament. Phoenix moved to the cheap seat and sat with Josh and
Xander. I taught my Sunday School class and then had to run home for a quick break
and then headed back to have Priesthood outside due to the floor in the
cultural hall being refinished. After church I went to home teach the Swans at
noon and the Kinchens at 1pm. Afterwards I came home and then Tara left to meet
up with Beth Delis whose brother had passed a few days earlier. For dinner Tara
made homemade cordon bleu which was yummy.
Saturday – 21 April 2012 – For some strange
reason I was up at 4:20 am and unable to go back to sleep so I decided to come
downstairs and work on the blog. Took Princess out for her morning sabbatical
and it was really cold…..only 48 degrees. Did some work around the house and
then got Tara up about 645 so that I could take The Beast to Sam’s to pick up a
new mattress. While there I asked about a desk that Tara and I had seen before.
The manager marked the desk down from $278 to $229. We got the mattress loaded
on the truck and then as they were loading the desk I noticed some damage that
we could not see when we in the store due to the location of the desk. We had
the manager come out and look at the desk and then I decided to return the
desk. The Beast got me and the mattress back home and then Tara and I were able
to use the furniture dolly to move it to the garage. Phoenix had a soccer game
at noon and I stayed at home with the two younger boys. Saturday night Tara and
I went to see Think Like a Man at Tinsletown which we bo
