What to do when the resin doesn't harden?

Tuesday

I woke up when Chris got up at 4:30. I woke up again when Reveille played. I woke up again when he took his shower and went to work. I got up at 7:30. I got dressed, drank hydrogen water and went outside. I got the sprinklers running and then watered the potted plants by hand. I checked the gopher traps, but none were caught.

I went to 647 for a sign-over. They had cleaned so much that I asked Jack if they could pass inspection without signing to a cleaning team. He checked the place out and said they could. So papers were signed to that effect. I wiped a few things anyway. The occupant paid me $100, saying he appreciates professionalism.

After they left, Jack asked me to clean the tub. So I went up and sprayed ammonia on it, then texted Jamie. I went home to get a dust mop and wet mop. At 648, I swept and mopped the floors upstairs, the steps, and part of the downstairs. I also did the sliding glass doors.

Then I went home for breakfast. I left just after 1 to work on the windowsills at 109. The inspectors came at 1:30. They didn't look at the windowsills. The apartment passed and I signed the papers. I went home to get my trombone and music.

Saronna said they would be an hour late. So I went back to 647 to sweep all of those floors. I went to 648 to finish the floors and sweep the leaves out of the garage. Saronna asked if we should schedule for another day, so I picked Thursday.

I went to 147 to work on the kitchen. Jamie arrived and we chatted. She went to 647 and 648 to clean and weed. I did the windows inside and out. She texted me when she was done. I went to Housing to schedule an inspection for tomorrow afternoon, then went home.

I logged into Zoom for the quilt meeting. When Chris got home, he asked if I wanted to go fill up the water jugs. I didn't want to miss Show-n-tell so he went by himself. The meeting ended before he got back with the water.

We talked a bit, then I went out back to sit in the sun which finally decided to shine. When I came in, there was a message from Casey about going to the pool. I jotted some notes for my blog, then put on my suit.

I drove to the pool. There was a cookout going on at the pavilion. I waved to the new commander's wife. Then I walked into the pool area and joined Casey and Isadora in the pool. We swam and talked. Then the old commander came over and warned us he was going to do a cannonball into the pool, his last chance to do one. Actually he did several, including with his family. Then they left. We continued to swim and talk. Isadora asked the life guard to play some Al Yankovitch songs. That lasted till after the closing time, so we got out, toweled off, and walked to the parking lot.

I went home. I put the resin mold in the oven. I took a shower. I looked up baking resin to see if it would help harden it. Survey said yes, but only for a few minutes. So I turned the oven off. I made tea and we watched one episode of Longmire and read one chapter of the devotional book. We discussed it a bit. Then I sat to catch up on e-mail.

Lastly, I went to bed.
