New irrigation source

Friday

I got up at 8:30. I got dressed and went out to water the basics quickly. Then I took some supplements, and went to the chapel for Bible Study at 9. Jenni was right behind me. I brought a new tea from China. Three of us tried the Chinese tea using the tea balls that Janet brought. We chatted, then read through Luke chapter 22 and discussed it. We chatted some more. Summer asked me to open the swap shop. So on the way home I stopped and unlocked it. She and the kids walked there and manned it until noon.

I told Jenni that our gardens weren't being watered properly because they were on the same time schedule as one of the other gardens on zone 2, which meant insufficient water pressure. She told me we were going to get a massage today. So there wasn't enough time after Bible Study to go home and eat quickly. She wanted to go remedy the garden irrigation first.

So we went to the garden. We checked the other gardens to see who might be on the inground zone 3. Apparently no one. So we pulled up our line of hoses and attached it to the new hose splitter on zone 3. Then we went to her house. I wiped my legs off with a wet cloth. We got in her car and drove to the spa place past Tooele.

We got there just in the nick of time. The lady brought us citrus water. Then she led us to bathrooms which each had a number of lockers. I opened mine to find a robe and slippers. I changed quickly, then scrubbed my feet as best I could.

When I came out, the masseuse was ready for me. She led me to a darkened room down the hall. She left while I picked out an essential oil and disrobed and got under the sheets on the massage bed. Then she came in and gave me a full-body massage. It was lovely!

After the massage, I came out and went to the same bathroom to put my own clothes on. Jenni came out as well. The clerk had laid out a snack tray for each of us: chocolate, cheese, fruit and a muffin. I had tea and Jenni had wassail. As we ate, another lady came and sat across from us. She had a marked French accent. It turns out she is a massage therapist too, who evidently came for a massage. We talked to her about maybe coming to Dugway.

We talked to her for some time. Then we shopped at Hobby Lobby for needles and such. We also stopped at Harward Farms veggie stand and bought blueberries. Then we talked on the way back to base. I went home.

I put on my suit and read in the sun, such as there was. I had a mixture of supper and breakfast. I read lots of messages online. At 7:30 I realized that my irrigation was due to come on. I went to the garden to observe the new arrangement of irrigation. I turned off the inground line. I made some tweaks and was able to eliminate a hose or two. I came home after 8. I worked on my blog. I posted for Project Night on only one Facebook page. I poured myself a bottle of tea. Then I headed out. I locked the swap shop on my way over.

I went to game night at Casey's house. John didn't show up so I played Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I got really stuck around 10:30, so I turned on my data and looked up a walkthrough on my phone to see what I was missing. It was after 11 when I shut everything down and went home. Chris was still up. I took supplements and went to bed. I put on my mp3 headphones and fell asleep, but woke up later and could not go back to sleep.
