I recently shared a meme on FB about aborted babies not being able to march for their lives as the students were for theirs and gun control. Two comments were made - one claiming strawman argument and the other claiming two different issues let's not have any distractions.
Well, I am not so sure about two different issues. Gun control is about preventing mass murder. Abortion is murder and with the numbers done in USA and world it is mass murder.
I accept that there are others that do not think abortion is murder. I do not understand how or why anyone would think that it is not murder. To me there has to be some kind of disconnect not to think that abortion is murder.
People get upset about animal abuse and killing animals for sport. Those same people are for abortion which is killing human babies. How are those things not connected? How can one be ok and the other not?
People get upset about mass shootings and yet are for abortions and killing babies. How is that not the same thing? How can one be acceptable and the other not?
If you do not want to become pregnant, do not have sexual intercourse or use proven birth control method to prevent pregnancy. Anyone that is against abortion should be for easily available birth control.
Murder is murder. Be it a developing baby still in the womb or growing outside the womb for however long a life.

OPA 19 to 25 March 2018, Docent, driver's license
Monday: boring working on money books
Tuesday: Happy First Day of Spring! Another trip to Seattle to meet with fiduciary agents. Tried to get up early and going so had time before meeting to be tourist, didn't work. Early going doesn't seem to be in my make up lately. Good money plan. Took my time walking back to ferry. Took lots of architecture pictures. Then the ferris wheel and space needle.
Friend indicated possible visit in July. Guess need to set up a day bed for here.
Worked on the WiFi bridge on old computer, error message when try to use after turning it off. Called tech support, could not really understand the tech, put on hold and waited before hanging up. Then went to Office Depot for cable. Long cable. Need to look for photo program to use on the Dell computer. Really like the way Windows 7 organizes photos, Windows 10 not so much. Want to be able to have folders for the different cameras.
Wednesday: Moving boxes planning coming together. Stopped at local company to arrange for help on 30 March, since hadn't heard anything from ward. Let the storage comp know I'd be out of huge unit by 31 March. While there a man offered his son's help. Then Ward help came through. Then storage company called with news that the smaller unit was available now. So called the father & son helpers and arrangements made for this Saturday.
Thursday: Off to Port Angeles licensing office. Filled out on line form and have confirmation number. Office really tucked away in back of building. Walked in and no other customers. Amazing never seen a DMV office that wasn't crowded. In and out in about half hour. That was for new driver's license only. Have to go someplace else for car registration. Knew where that licensing office is in Sequim. Stopped there. Need title. Don't keep in car, don't know exactly where it is right now. Home and got info to order new one from California. In the mail later in day. Also got other mail finally into mail.
Friday: Up early and prepare to go to Forks and work as docent at the Twilight Collection. Lissy sent IM that schools were on 2 hr snow delay and suggested leaving later than original planned. I watched local news and weather last night, snow but not that low. Left an hour later than original planned. Did run into one lane delay for 15 min wait. Looking at mountains it was beautiful with fresh snow on trees. Initially didn't look like snow level got to level of Crescent Lake though. At the Storm King/Ranger/ LC Lodge turnoff there was fresh snow on ground at lake level and continued all the way to Forks. Pretty! Road was cleared. The passing lane at one point was not cleared, but didn't need both lanes. Would have liked to have stopped to take pictures, but turnouts not cleared and didn't want to get stuck and kinda late. Did stop at north Welcome sign and took a picture. Got gas and then to VIC. Bella's truck had snow and took a couple of pictures and posted to FB. Got training on being a docent. Then had to wait for time to open.
Worked with Julie Edwards. We had two groups of three come in. Otherwise we chatted. Sat down off / on to rest feet a little. Hard concrete floor walking around on. For snow and slush waterproof shoes would have been nice to wear, but they would not have been good on that floor. Turns out even with the shoes I did wear, my feet and legs were tired and sore. Save money to donate cushion mats to have in there.
Went home from there. The follow lead car portion wasn't active, just a much shorter stretch of one lane at a time via traffic light.
Saturday: Up early and very slow moving, was really sore. Met up with Brianna and went to visit teach two of our sisters. Then met up with a father son duo to move boxes. Nice and convenient that the smaller unit was four doors down. All that was left fit in and some room left over. That might be handy to put boxes currently in guest room here in the unit, so I can set up a day bed for visitors. They worked hard and all done moving boxes in less than an hour. It took me another two hours to move emptied boxes filled with packing paper to garage to slowly feed into recycle bin. All done by 4pm and before rain. Could see the curtain of rain, but didn't get to us. Got some food from Safeway deli and ate well to celebrate.
Sunday: woke up about 2am and couldn't go back to sleep. Tired but not sleepy - seems to be my nearly constant state. Didn't get to church. Lots of time in bed with heating pad on hips and drifting in/out of light sleep. Until eventually up and work on this off/on.
update not sure which night: woke up thinking I should add phone and cable outlets in both bedrooms. Might want to have cable connection for desk top computer. Eventual housemate/caretaker might want their own phone and cable line. Easier and less expensive to do now rather than later. Contacted LJM and added them. Hopefully no more middle of night wake up with ideas.

18 March 2018
OPA 12 to 18 March Ordered home, Forks, speeding ticket, watch dragon
Continued to move boxes from storage unit to garage. Opened some and found my convection/toaster oven! also found my dirty clothes sorting station. Have moved all the boxes I can alone, the rest are too big or too heavy to do alone. Can only fit two in car at a time. Hope to get some help from men in the ward. Maybe I should ask the RS Sisters.
Monday met with Visiting Teaching companion. Brianna is a nice young lady. She doesn't really know the sisters we visit. Nice that we had time to chat before going out as companions.
Wednesday I met with the ladies of LJM Properties and ordered my new home. Lots of options, but not as many as thought. Not totally happy with kitchen. There is a microwave above the stove. Guess I'll be finding new home for my by then six month old red microwave. A little sad about that. That also means the hood fan does not vent to outside, but just circulates the air, pointless. Really like that red in kitchen. The home will likely be delivered in July - August time frame.
I did find a new home for the two month old toaster oven. Happy to have mine back. One of sisters working on decorating for Relief Society birthday brunch tomorrow, will be getting it. It was fun helping to set up Friday morning.
Thursday, I got a free recliner from my landlord. The color doesn't fit me or my eventual color scheme. It is nice to have a comfy chair to watch TV or read in. The recline is even good for using the laptop and get off my feet. Avoiding buying furniture for here with move coming in five to six months. The large trunk was a sorta exception. Trying to just get smaller things to limit what gets moved. I don't want to overwork the volunteers or if have to pay to move, then less will save money. Hopefully I will be able to start going through boxes more and toss, shred, donate, sell items.
Found a couple of other things: TwilightMoms Snuggle and flower print comforter. The Snuggle is just the right weight for cover to take a nap under. Not sure how I came to have this comforter. Could be from my mother's home, don't remember buying and not my usual taste in the past. Nice change, with flowers on white background it is lighter than my other two comforter covers.It does fit the bed better than the down comforter. Hmm...might stick with this white print to counter balance the darker wood of bedroom dressers.
Saturday I went to Forks for auction to support the HS seniors. Very mixed bag of items donated and very interesting and very big! Some beautiful wood pieces, decorative and some practical bowls. A garden wood bench with planters at end each...tempted but no way fit in my car. There was a wood wall shelves of interest and then there was a beautiful stained glass butterfly, lots of purple. Bid on a couple of the wood bowls...very quickly outbid. The butterfly didn't come up until today and I took my 'call me' tag off. Lissy was the only I knew there. We chatted. She let me know Sunday that the butterfly went for $150. Another time, another butterfly for me. I left after about 4 hours. Tired after so little sleep lately.
Got pulled over for speeding on outskirts of Port Angeles. Guess good thing didn't win anything at the auction, save money for the ticket. Second speeding ticket in 52 years of driving, first one 38 years ago. Maybe I should have stayed in Sequim and attended the RS brunch.
Stopped by for quick look through of garden show in Sequim at Boys/Girls club. Wood carver and metal worker outside. The wood guy wasn't informative when asked about doing a dragon. Metal guy had two, one was a dragon in a rock that I liked, other one was wall mounted one - not for me. Inside not a lot of interest for me right now. Since I was so late getting there, I got a band for Sunday.
Stake conference Sunday meeting. Didn't feel up to driving to stake center last night for adult session. The Sunday meeting is streamed to the meetinghouses. [keep thinking 'we are not in Kansas anymore Toto'] The stake is rather large geographically. Good meeting. Keep it simple. Build it strong. Make it work. That was theme of General Authority's talk.
Went back to garden show after meeting. The dragon in rock was gone. But he had a tall watch dragon. $30 off...sold. My new home landscaping has begun. Barely fit in car. One vendor was covered up yesterday - hand made hats. Nice. Likely get one eventually. There was a purple plaid one...just not into it today.
Catching up on laundry this evening as watch some TV shows. One new one starts tonight. Another one has second episode - disgraced magician helping FBI. Will watch one more episode of NCIS:LA tonight, then may switch to Private Eyes on at same time. Watched first couple of episodes of Private Eyes while NCIS:LA was on break for Olympics. Think I like it better.
Next Friday I will be working as docent at the Forks Twilight Collection.

11 March 2018
OPA 5 to 11 March 2018 New Permanent Home closer, old trunk
Monday: Shopping day. Found a winter house robe, the only winter clothing I didn't have. Some warm slippers that I'm not sure I like, little arch support so feet may rebel. Found a green pj set on sale, have lots of red and blue and now a green pair. Then the prize of the day...a Tiffany style butterfly lamp on sale. Looked at the selection of recliners in the store. Think I will get recliner and couch from the local store rather than ordering from LazyBoy. Put my money where my mouth is in supporting local businesses.
Tuesday: Started moving file boxes from storage unit to garage. Moved about 60 boxes I think. Nice bright kinda warm day, except when in shade as I was working on the north side of the unit. Think I earned sitting for my three TV shows tonight. Things going faster than previous moving from Sacramento storage unit to San Jose with such a short trip between home and storage unit here. Even faster than moving from SJ home to storage unit there to clear way to pack as I'm just moving things already packed.
Wednesday: up early. Got a call to join a meeting this afternoon to help plan the Relief Society BDay brunch on 17 March. Moved more boxes in morning, finished north side and started on the south side. And third row in the garage, finishing that row may be all the file boxes. Not sure how many of the larger boxes I can move. Need to see about elders quorum help again. Don't think I can move all of it into rental and leave room for car. A smaller unit would cost less and save money. Meeting went well. Texted VT companion and meeting on Friday just us. Get to know each other and figure out how do this new VT.
Received call that my application to Heritage Park has been approved! A new permanent home is closer! After 1700hrs when heard message. So call tomorrow to see if they need anything else at this point. Then call the construction comp and set up meeting to give deposit and start order.
Thursday: Contacted LJM Properties and have meeting set up for next Wednesday afternoon. Moved more boxes. Opened up some to see what is in and found my convection/ toaster oven! Hope can find someone who needs the one I bought.
Friday: VT companion asked to delay our meet up until Monday, after I was all dressed and place cleaned up. Now my social anxiety has until Monday to play in backroads of mind.
I've been thinking about guest room decoration. Came up with nautical theme. I have some items from parents home that are nautical. So went looking initially for table lamps and some small items with nautical items. Not new, but thrift store looking. Saw an old large trunk/chest for $50. Started thinking of expansion to not just nautical, but travels in general. Have souvenirs from my travels that I can display. The trunk could be a place for bed linens for the guest room. Needs to be cleaned up a lot, most of leather straps are gone. Checked with my home decorator advisers, Carol H and Christine J, suggested to make sure it doesn't stink inside. It kind of stayed on my mind, arranging room with it there, how to clean it up, what color to paint it, etc.
I am not usually into decorating with theme and consistency in mind. Just what I like. This guest room is different. I want it to be nicely done. This is new territory for me.
Saturday: Went to thrift store and the trunk wasn't where it was yesterday....deep breathe and went looking for it just being moved within store. And found it. Inside doesn't stink. Inside tag says built in Salt Lake City. Cool. The inside paper will need replacement. There is a ledge for a tray on top. Work on a new wood one eventually. I was able to drag the trunk to car and a gentleman helped me lift into car. At home I was able to lift it out, but not carry far due to weight and large. Again I've not been one to do a lot of DIY projects or at least not complete them. Fixing up my old military trunk and now this one has caught my fancy. Something I can work on while wait for home to be built. I went around rest of Saturday with big silly grin on face for finding this treasure. Looking forward to fixing up both trunks. New territory for me.
Back to storage unit and boxes. Finished moving all the file boxes and started on odd size boxes. Found hangers! Now to unpack more clothes and use those boxes to repack some of larger / heavier boxes.
Thinking about the wood tray in trunk - put all the places I've lived around the edge of tray.
Got tired / sleepy and headed to bed with idea of Spring forward. And then got not sleepy. Tried to fall asleep and no luck. Tried quiet relaxing music, Serenity oil, nothing got me sleepy again.
Sunday: Ward conference and couldn't stay awake seating still. Spirit willing to listen, but body not so able. There is only one priesthood holder that I really know, just happens to be member of Bishopric. I gave him a note with info on moving boxes help. Not best timing with today being Ward conference and next Saturday & Sunday is Stake Conference. Hopefully calls can be made and help will be found and arranged. Once home, nap time. Then some TV while write this up. And hung up five boxes of clothes.

Review of Dragon Knight's Axe by Mary Morgan, no spoilers
This is the third book in the Dragon Knight series, about the youngest brother Alastair. His power came from land so he ran to the sea after their sister's death. He became captain of a Viking trading ship.
Fiona was a research assistant helping translate ancient languages in Ireland. She is working on a stone tablet and visits the dig as part of Rory MacGregor's staff. She soon finds a sacred place and finds herself in 1206 Ireland on a slave block.
There are a couple of things that don't work well for me in this story. They kind of disturbed the suspension of disbelief for me. The story is good, just not as enjoyable and satisfying as the previous two stories. I am willing to discuss particulars with anyone after you've read the book. I have exchanged messages with Mary Morgan about my issues.
Their paths cross at the slave block where Alastair buys Fiona with plans to return her to her family. And thus begins their quest journey together.
Each brother had a part in the circumstances surrounding their sister's death. Each feels responsible and guilty and unworthy of redemption. Alastair's pain is spiritually deeper than the others. The healing is harder for everyone to endure as most of it is done separated from Fiona and family. The others had a period of separation, but circumstances are very different between Fiona and Alastair. He is eventually successful in his quest and returns.

OPA 1 to 4 March 2018 side by side refrig
Nothing new, just continue the new home application work. Delay in getting new preprinted checks from local bank. Finally they arrived Saturday. Got counter checks at the bank on Thursday for MH park application and rent.
Went around Saturday and found a few little things to make a thank you gift bag for the realtor I had worked with. She showed me around and helped narrow what size home and where I wanted to live. Subject on my message to her was 'good news, bad news'. The gift bag won't make up for no commission, but better able to express my thanks.
Saturday realized that as much trouble as I had deciding which model and which lot, decision making is going to be greatly multiplied with all the decisions in setting it up. Hopefully I will like most of the standard features. Except no side by side refrigerator. The one in rental is so hard to get into and get things in/out. Whoever came up with that design had to be crazy. What do you do with a frozen pizza?
Saturday morning I started bringing over boxes from storage unit to the rental home. Hope to move most if not all into rental and save that money until permanent move. If not all at least into a smaller unit.
After exchanging messages with Mary Morgan, decided I needed to read Dragon Knight's Axe a second time, I missed something first time going through too fast perhaps. Started it Friday and finished it Saturday evening. The review is hard to write. Good story, just something not as good as others to me.
Looking forward to the continued shifting of priorities away from home search to other things. I've never been good at multi-tasking and during this home search it has been hard to think about anything else or do much of anything else. It was just so big, it took up almost all time and energy. Now with smaller things to think about and decide and work on, I can spread out time and energy.
Have a great week. Take care.

I've never been good at multi-tasking and during this home search it has been hard to think about anything else or do much of anything else. It was just so big, it took up almost all time and energy. Now with smaller things to think about and decide and work on, I can spread out time and energy.
Have a great week. Take care.
