The patch was only part of it

Friday

I cleaned some old food from the fridge. It was pickled so maybe it wasn't bad, but no one was eating it and there was very little left. I went to Jen's house to turn on the self-clean cycle of the stove. I also looked through the rooms and cupboards to see what was left behind and to put it in piles of cleaners vs food. I was surprised to see a large foam mattress in the bedroom.

When I got back, I watered all the plants. The netting cover on the tower garden had blown off again. I refilled the water containers. I emptied the dead mice from the bucket in the back. Chris came home from his trip. His first act was to turn on the router. Then he kissed me and rolled his suitcases to the back.

He asked me to fix the iron-on patch on his sport jacket. I took it to my sewing room and did that. In the process, I discovered that the lining was torn under each arm. So I put together a small sewing kit with a threaded needle. Then I took it to the swap shop to pass the time. Bethany was there and I gave her the tour. There was a pile of stuff that was just donated and needed to be sorted and placed. We worked on that. Steve came in to take my place. She said she could stay as well. Then other people came and I headed home, not a stitch sewn.

I checked messages, then posted to my blog early. I made and ate breakfast. I added to the grocery list. When Chris was ready, we headed to Tooele, listening to the book on CD. We shopped at the usual places, and Cal Ranch. I got a 4-way splitter for the irrigation system. On the way home, we stopped at the commissary for a few more things. We went home and put the groceries away.

I had some ground beef for supper. I also made a carrot salad. I read messages and watched short videos. I got ready for Game Night by brushing up with clues (which I would later forget to use). I got the jar of cheese for Michelle and made tea for me.

At 8:30 I drove over to her house. I had to stop several times to take pictures of an incredible rainbow that showed up. When I got there, I gave Michelle the cheese and $10. She ate it right away. Casey put on the game. We talked. Michelle went to bed. I continued to play. I finished Tagira, the snow world and worked on Todelmer, the astronomy world. I made progress, then got stuck. I also worked on the beach world and made progress, then got stuck. At 11, I thanked him and went home.

Chris was in bed when I arrived. I took the evening supplements. I put on a meditation track and climbed into the recliner. I think I fell asleep for a bit. An hour later I got up and went to bed.
