2. I had my last scheduled Iron I.V. treatment. I will go to the lab for another blood test in a couple weeks to see how my iron levels are doing. I've been feeling pretty good but still haven't been able to sleep without Ambien and don't feel completely normal yet. I never realized how wonderful "normal" could be.
3. When I got home from my treatment, both Adam and Robyn were at my house. Adam had come over to kill time for a half hour before a meeting in Orem, and Robyn was dropping off her kids (we babysit them every Tuesday). It was too bad that they were both leaving as soon as I got there, but I like they we live close enough to see each other often.
4. Whitney left this note on the counter the other night around 8:00 (weird timing just before bed). We had been hanging out together, so I thought it was funny that she was putting more suggestions out there AND felt the need to do so with a note.
5. Landon actually needed my help with math homework!!! I think this is the first time he has ever needed help, and it's only because he missed so many days of school and wasn't there for the teacher's explanation. I was relieved that I could help thanks to my current stint in the 7th grade...where math is concerned he's definitely smarter than me dang it.
6. Randy's latest lunch sack creation for Whitney.
7. I am made banana bread in memory of Michelle's wonderful grandmother Charlotte. She was always baking amazing things and serving others, so her family members are baking today and giving the items to someone. This is only the 2nd time I've ever made banana bread (what the?) and it didn't go so well because the outside is done and the inside isn't. I turned the oven down and covered the top in foil, but I don't think these are good enough to give away...oh dear, my best efforts for Charlotte have failed.
**Thoughts??**
Comment Window Tidbit: General Conference Weekend kind of snuck up on me so I don't have anything ready to give my visiting teaching people, bummer.

Gooey banana bread is awesome. If I lived close you could give it to me! That is a neat idea and special way to honor someone's memory.
Whitney's notes crack me up.
I am with you – I think normal is wonderful, too. My favorite.
I love Whitney's lists and notes!
Hooray for being able to help Landon with his math!
I think it's so sweet that you joined our baking brigade today. But I am always highly disappointing when something I make doesn't turn out right.
I made bread and am taking that and some conference note papers to my VT tomorrow morning!
Whitney's notes are hilarious! You'll get plenty of snuggling time this weekend with General Conference.
Is it a relief that your IV treatments are over? I hope you start feeling completely back to normal soon!
Don't worry about the failed banana bread attempt. Try again! Practice does make perfect, even if it takes several failures along the way.
I was thinking of you the other morning as I dropped off my daughter at the Jr. High. Was praying that you were feeling better.
I'm so excited that you joined the Bread Brigade!
And I love Randy's latest lunch bag!
I think your best effort would delight Charlotte no matter the result. What a fun way to honor their grandmother.
Have you considered redefining normal so as not to be too let down if you don't make it back to the old normal? Hoping every day that things get better!
I sure hope you get feeling better soon Jill. You've been in my prayers.
I look forward to seeing Whitney's lunch sacks! They are amazing.
Your unfortunate stint with poor health has made me realize how much I take my "normal" for granted. I hope you get yours back again soon.
And as far as the bread goes--it's the thought that counts! If it's any consolation I haven't yet succeeded in making good banana bread. I stick with banana chocolate chip bars.
hope you continue to feel better and that those darn iron levels increase! What an amazing thing to have a brother that wants to stop by when he has an extra few minutes before a meeting-it shows that you truly have a special relationship!
I think Whitney's sacks are amazing, too. I think it's great you joined in the Celebrate Charlotte day.
Conference snuck up on me too and this is the first year in years I had families that probably would have enjoyed a conference basket...
I love that they bake for Charlotte's birthday (we eat See's on my grandma's birthday...) Banana bread always takes soooo long to bake and is unforgiving if under or over cooked. I hate when things don't turn out! I think you still could have sliced it and shared it on a plate.
I'm glad your treatments are over, hopefully because you are healed and not just because you finished your appointments.
I really do hope you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
I have the exact same problem every time I make banana bread. I've started making mini loaves in those little pans and it comes out so much better, plus my kids love them.
I'm glad your IV treatments are over but I hope you get back to normal soon. Don't let this be your new normal--keep talking to drs until they get you back to your real normal.
I saw you today at the Jr. High. Was going to say hi, but the I took a few min longer than I thought needed in the office. You must have just finished lunch, because you were racing to get to class.
Hope your feeling and doing better these days.
I had a dream last night that I was in Utah and saw you as I was driving down the street. The window was down so I said, 'Jill' as I drove passed, you looked up and say me, then I kept on driving. Ha! The end.
I think Whitney's notes deserve a Blurb book, or at least some kind of scrapbook.
