Spin class

Monday

I got up before 7:30, having had a rough night. I got up often to drink and rub magnesium on my calves. So much magnesium gave me gas.

I took supplements and drank water with hydrogen and electrolytes. I suddenly noticed that the sprinklers were going. So I walked out to check. A man came to the house to say he was checking the sprinklers and that whenever the power blips, the sprinklers go into rain delay mode.

I finished my morning routine and watered the plants. Then I turned my attention to the gopher mounds. As I was washing dirt down the tunnel, Jamie waved at me from Mary's house. It was 9 and she wanted me to come over. So I did. Mary was trying to pack her vehicle with last minute things. Jamie was helping her. I helped clean out the fridge. There was all kinds of stuff she had to leave behind.

We were still there when the inspectors arrived for the sign-over. I ran home for a contract and hex wrenches. They looked around. Jack took me aside and said we had to park the trash can in the garage to keep the crows out. He also said he would call ground crew to take out the saplings that were growing in the yard.

After the inspectors left, Jamie and I kept loading her vehicle. Then Jamie left to take one last look at 48 which was to be inspected soon. So Mary and I took down her Star Link with a hex wrench and packed it. She also got her ladder inside the Jeep-like vehicle. Just as she was pulling out, Jamie texted that 48 passed inspection. I rolled the trash cans into the garage and headed home.

I went inside to get water. Then I clipped old flowers from the petunias and tripped on the front step. I was going to go clean 204, but my back decided to be unhappy. So I stayed home, read e-mail and had breakfast early.

Later I went to Mary's house to put towels soaked in vinegar in the toilets. Then I went to 204 to clean in the kitchen. When I saw that the toilet was sitting on its side in the bathroom, I wondered if maybe they didn't want people using the water. (They are replacing a broken sewer line.) So I packed up and went home.

I drank water. I picked hymns for next Sunday and went through the Christmas music. Then I went back to Mary's house to clean in the kitchen. I worked on the fridge for most of an hour.

Then I remembered that I had band at 6. So I went home and put supper in the toaster oven. I made up 2 gallons of plant fertilizer and put that and the hymns in my car. I ate supper, then headed to the chapel for band.

When I got there, everyone was sitting in place, ready to play. That has never happened before. We went through the hymns and much of the Christmas music. It was familiar to most of us, but to the recent additions, it was totally new. Finally my lip went out. Caleb and Keli worked on Silver Bells, and then we played We Wish You a Merry Chrismas, and called it a night. They all left. I packed up, and turned off the lights.

I went to the garden to fertilize it. I also picked a zucchini and three squash. I left one at Michele's house. Then I went to the gym where Michelle was having a spin class. I hung out there, did some foam roller stuff. Then she adjusted a bike for me. But pedaling kept me awake. So I thanked her and went home. I ate the fiber gel, and the chia gel and worked on my blog.

I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Then he went to bed and I stayed up to read e-mail and listen to BWE.
