Sleeping my day away

Posted by 2DI4 at 7:00 PM

I hate how it looks late so fast now. I fall asleep at around 3pm after I get home from going to my optometrist CLOSED!!! then my dermatologist CLOSED!!! I get a $50 rebate for buying my year-supply of contacts only they sold me 6 boxes for my "year" supply and the rebate THEY SENT ME!!! says you need to buy 8 boxes. No biggie but why sent me the damn rebate AND receipt for 6 when it requires an 8-box purchase???!!! They are selling me a couple more. These are $40 a box and I need to still spend about $700 before the end of the year.

I also went to the library to borrow some Dr. Seuss books. I'm reading at least 1 story during my talk tomorrow. Horton Hatches an Egg seems the most appropriate for continually holding to the iron rod BUT I thought I'd read a few I'm not familiar with too.

I woke up about an hour ago and it was still dark.

Mosiah 10

12 They were a wild, and ferocious, and a blood-thirsty people, believing in the tradition of their fathers, which is this—Believing that they were driven out of the land of Jerusalem because of the iniquities of their fathers, and that they were wronged in the wilderness by their brethren, and they were also wronged while crossing the sea;
 13 And again, that they were wronged while in the land of their first inheritance, after they had crossed the sea, and all this because that Nephi was more faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord—therefore he was favored of the Lord, for the Lord heard his prayers and answered them, and he took the lead of their journey in the wilderness.
 14 And his brethren were wroth with him because they understood not the dealings of the Lord; they were also wroth with him upon the waters because they hardened their hearts against the Lord.
 15 And again, they were wroth with him when they had arrived in the promised land, because they said that he had taken the ruling of the people out of their hands; and they sought to kill him.
 16 And again, they were wroth with him because he departed into the wilderness as the Lord had commanded him, and took the records which were engraven on the plates of brass, for they said that he robbed them.
 17 And thus they have taught their children that they should hate them, and that they should murder them, and that they should rob and plunder them, and do all they could to destroy them; therefore they have an eternal hatred towards the children of Nephi.
22 And now I, being old, did confer the kingdom upon one of my sons; therefore, I say no more. And may the Lord bless my people. Amen.

 Everyone recognizes they are family BUT they still fight and kill each other. Very sad...

 Continually Holding Fast - Kevin S. Hamilton
Of course I'm going to listen to this again and finalize my talk!!!
