5/29 LB Airport Trip and a Fun Tuesday at the Temple

Today was a good day. I was able to get up on time this morning to pick up Mom and take her to the Long Beach Airport so that she could get on a plane to Utah to be with Sarah and soon, Briana. She arrived safely. I was able to listen to Imagine Dragons with her. She's great. She guided me to the airport and I found my way back home rather easily. 60 to the 605 S then to the 91 and it was off the 91.

I had a whole day to relax. I decided to stop by where Sarah works at Niagara Water Bottling Company LLC. As I was waiting for her to get on lunch, I called Granny. Aunt Kristen answered the phone, What do you want? And then was like, oh, you're not Kathleen. I talked to Granny as well, and just shared all the news and my email with her. Then I called Aunt Kerry. She was very encouraging.

I met Sarah outside and we walked and talked. She brought out a bagel with cream cheese on it and a maple bar donut, my favorite. After her lunch break was over, she showed me the machine that reads her fingerprints. She said that she hadn't believed that such machines existed only in movies.

I came home, did the laundry, folded the laundry, made chicken soup, and washed the dishes. Throughout this time I watched the most recent episode and season finale of the Goldbergs (which I hadn't seen and which brought happy feelings in my heart when Lainey accepted Barry's proposal). I watched the Season Finale of The Middle again while I was folding. I watched I Love Lucy while I washed the dishes, the one where she accidentally gets drunk doing a vitamin commercial. And then I watched half of episode 100 of Seinfeld.

Sarah called me in the middle. And then she picked up Collin off the streets on Cedar and brought him home to help him. We let him use our shower and afterwards ate Burritos with him that Sarah and I made.

We then dropped him off and went to the temple, where I did four initiatories and Sarah did four. Then we greeted Shaunna Lee and gave her back her house key.

Then we went to Trader Joes to look for canolis but they were dicontinued. Then Sarah picked up ingredients to make me an ice cream cake tomorrow. Crazy. We even dropped by the redbox to see what movies were available because I get a free movie rental for my birthday. Sarah was telling me about how she covets food. But I don't believe that she does that really. It's just that we don't have money right now for all the food we need or want.

We caught some good pictures as we entered and left the temple today. It definitely turned out to be a pretty day.
