In a class by myself

Saturday

I woke up hearing the sound of a car door slamming. I thought it was Chris coming home from his game. But it happened over and over. Finally I got up to investigate. It was coming from the direction of the barracks. So probably artillary practice. But really – on a Saturday morning at 7am?

I watered the plants. Chris came home and made coffee. We both read e-mail and checked messages. Chris gave me a coconut oil massage. While he took his shower, I watched video of Myst V for the parts I had worked on last night to find out what I missed - two very important things. I watched some bonus episodes from the Garden Summit. I made and ate breakfast.

We went to the commissary for groceries. Then we stopped by the library and visited with the librarian. When we got home, Chris put away the food while I jotted notes for my blog.

I got ready for Sewing Class. I took my bag of notions and patterns and beads and beans. I went to the chapel and set up the sewing machines and everything needed to make the frog. Then I realized I didn't have the frog. So I called Chris and he was kind enough to bring it to me.

Since he was there, I asked him to help me re-dress the altar because everything on it had fallen to the floor. Seemed a little odd. But we got everything straight and put some hymnals on it to keep the altar cloth and banner in place.

Chris went home. I stayed for class. I worked on my stack-n-whack project and no one came to interrupt. After two hours, I got texts from Michelle who was looking for a punch bowl. So I left everything there and went home to search. I searched. I didn't find the punch bowl, but I did find other nice bowls that weren't as large. I sent her pics and she picked one.

I read e-mail for awhile. Then I raked part of the lawn and mowed it. Repeat until after 6:30. I went inside to rest and drink. Then I went to the chapel for Project Night.

My machine was still set up. I brought out an iron and started ironing all the half hexagons I had made earlier. MeryAnn came and she talked as I ironed. Then I sat down and we chatted until her husband came. He joined in and then we all packed up to leave. However, after turning off the lights and locking the doors, we stood in the parking lot and continued talking.

It was after 9:30 when I got home. Chris was too tired to watch TV. I posted to my blog. Then I watched some documentary on the computer. After that, I queued up a sleep video and listened to it on headphones while reclining. Later I went to bed.
