'Alarming' Project Night

Saturday

I woke up hearing the 8am alarm. I got up later, washed up and got dressed. I made hydrogen water, etc. I walked over to Mary's house to close the windows but noticed her HVAC system wasn't on. I picked up the modem and brought it home, as Lyn requested. I watered my plants and dealt with several gopher mounds. I put crayons on a black canvas on the front porch to see if they would melt in the sun.

I read some e-mail. I went to Mary's house for an hour, sprinkled baking soda and wiped surfaces. I came home for breakfast. Later I laid in the sun, then took a shower. I ran back to the house to get some cleaning supplies.

I drove to Tina's house and cleaned her kitchen. She paid me. I let her know I won't be able to come in two weeks because of a camping trip. When I got home, I ate fiber gel. I put supper in the oven. I made HOCL and read up on using the fog machine. Then I ate supper.

When I got to the chapel, the alarm was ringing again. I had forgotten my phone. I set up a sewing machine and put all-cotton thread in it. Michele showed up wearing her voluminous purple gown. Then Casey came with Cedric, and MeryAnn came with her husband. She showed me pics of her event, teaching women to shoot. Casey tried to plug the HDMI cord back into the TV. It was hard because the TV was bolted to the wall. I think almost everyone tried at some point. But finally, by the end of the night, he got it plugged in.

MeryAnn called Dispatch to call the fire department to come turn off the alarm. But they refused. If I had my phone, I would have called Chris and maybe they would have come.

Michelle brought two formal dresses, one for her and one for me. So we went into the bathroom to try them on. Hers fit perfectly, but mine was too big. She had borrowed it from a friend to test the size. She found a dress she thought would look good on me and I let her order it.

Michele worked on adding white lace to a white pattern piece for a new top. I sewed a stabilizing stitch around my facings, then started hand-sewing the edges of the shoulder seams on my nightgown.

When Casey got the HDMI plugged back in, he brought up Mario 2 and Michelle played it. When I finished my second shoulder seam, we packed up and went home, happy to get away from the constant alarm. It was after 9 when I got home. I read messages and worked on my blog, VMIS, and work hours. Then it was time for bed.
