Pain eased a little as I forced myself to get up and moving a little. Washed couple loads. Hung one load on line.

Joe informed me of funeral to attend Friday. Now have to reschedule Jordon’s Senior photos again. Plus it’s suppose to rain all day Friday. Ugh .

Ate lunch with Jakob at the college.
Dropped sister & kids off at hotel. Taking Jakob to get a car. I forgot how long the process takes. I’m so exhausted and hurting all over. Almost came close to starting all over – payments higher than they expected bc they forgot about interest rate. Jakob proud owner of 2013 Chevy Equinox.
Dinner at Cheddar’s restaurant. While waiting to get called in, stepped one step backwards not realizing there was dip in sidewalk lost balance and almost fell. Thankfully Joe caught me. Made rt hip hurt exponentially. Had to sit.

Thankful for the blessed day and amazing adventure.
Enjoyed spending the day at the Ark Encounter. I was awestruck to see the life-sized replication of Noah’s Ark.
It was encouraging and thought-provoking to see and hear not only of the amount of Noah’s faith, but also of all the people involved in the coming together of this exhibit.
I even enjoyed challenging a random teenager to a race while I was in the electric scooter (I won ). We all had a great laugh.
I’m exhausted and hurting, but thankful for this wonderful opportunity!
