Humphries Family History

 Monday: This evening after work, I was making supper and suddenly I felt extreme fatigue, like I was an appliance and had just been unplugged. It was difficult even to lift my arms. Very weird, but it passed in a few hours. (I have felt stronger each day and am back to normal now (3-31) Tuesday: Busy day at work, still tired tonight, but nothing compared to last night. Wednesday: work, laundry, finished the online portion of the BLS class (CPR) Thursday:  In one of my pre-op cases today a strange thing happened. I called the number listed in the patient's chart, asked for her by name (Juana), told her why I was calling, got from her a list of her medications and then her health history (allergies, surgeries, etc.) Had a nice conversation, then entered the info in her computer chart. About 5 minutes later she called me back and said, "I don't have an appointment coming up; could it be my mother you wanted?" Turns out she and her mother have the same first name and her...

  Hi all,    In a recent meeting, we were challenged to spend at least one minute a day writing in a journal of some sort. So my plan is to make this email even more like a journal, adding a line or two each day. The speaker who gave that challenge used the diary of one of his relatives, born in 1884. He felt that because she had written almost every day, sometimes only a word or two, such as "canned peaches," he knows her, and she is someone he loves and that they have "a tie that binds." Monday: on the flight home, from Minneapolis, Dad and I were in separate seats, about 10 rows apart. When we landed in SLC, we discovered we had chosen to watch the same movie during the flight, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. I thought it was neat that we picked the same movie! While at Sam's and Nat's, I was introduced to juicing and the health benefits it can bring, many that I need. We discussed it and ordered one which should be here tomorrow! Tuesday: ba...

  Hi everyone,     It's been a great week. Dad got to Minnesota on the 6th, I got here the 7th and Natalie's mom, Nan, later that day, and the Colorado Humphries, including Brad, arrived on the morning  of the 8th. Friday was a pretty, sunny day. Lots of sledding down the hill and preparing for the baptism. One night we watched The Karate Kid (1984), and another night there was The Farming Game! The baptism was great and all went smoothly. Then after lunch, the guys went to a car show and the girls went to the Mall of America, where the highlight was Maddie getting her ears pierced! Overnight we got about 5 inches of new snow. Church in the Apple Valley Ward was very nice. They had Ward Conference. We had a nice afternoon, but then it was time for Bradley, Ben, Lynsey, and Joseph to head back to Colorado. Now there's a rousing game of Sleeping Queens going on!    That's all I have to say, but I do have one question: did James buy a tractor this we...

  Hi everybody,    I hope you're all doing well. Dad is in Washington DC for a NACO conference. Then on the 7th, I'll meet him in Minnesota for Maddie's baptism. It's always nice to make one trip and see two families! I think we'll get to see Nan too!     I apologize to the birthday people this week; I'm using my bad knee as an excuse for not having your packages in the mail yet. Anyhow, the first Happy birthday goes to Spencer, who will be 7 on the fifth! Happy birthday all. Hopefully you'll get something soon! :)    Jocie and Janie came out Friday evening and the four of us had a nice visit. Then last night, Gran and I had a birthday supper at The Hickory, in Rexburg, with Jim, Clark, and a friend of theirs, Nick Haws. Turns out we all 5 had birthdays between Feb 18 and March 13. We had a nice time.     My knee immobilizer wouldn't stay in place; it kept sliding down, no matter how tight I cinched it up. Gran and I came up with a ...
