Fern's delivery service

 


Monday

I got up at 8:30, having been awake for no discernible reason in the middle of the night. I took supplements, then got ready for the day. I practiced and exercised. I ate pickled egg salad. I pulled beef heart out of the freezer to thaw.

I met Casey at Jenni's garden. We picked the broccoli (most of which had flowered) and cabbage. I took it all home. I made up week's worth of supplements, then made and ate breakfast. I cut up the broccoli plants into stems, leaves and heads. I made up bags of them to give away.

I went to library for eggs. I delivered greens and eggs to Saronna. She gave me bobbins and two decks of cards. I delivered cabbage greens and cheese to Casey. I delivered cabbages and broccoli heads to Jenni. I hung a bag of broccoli greens on Michele's door.

I chose two hymns for next Sunday. I cleaned the shallow bin from the back porch. I jotted notes for my blog, and put the bin in my car. I looked at Halloween costumes online.

At 5:55, I got in the car and went to the chapel. I unlocked the door so people could go in, then ran home to get my forgotten music. When I got back, Saronna and Caleb were set up. Keli couldn't make it because she had to sub at the library for Melissa. So the 4 of us ( including Caleb's son) played through the hymns and some of the Christmas music. When my lip wore out, just before 7, we called it a night. We packed up, turned off the lights, and locked the door.

I went home to find Chris had fish on the stove for me. I prayed and ate. I looked at the rest of the costumes. I posted to my blog. I read e-mail and messages. I took the leg massagers out of the box and read the instructions. I strapped them to my legs.

Chris came into the kitchen to put away the leftovers. I took the massagers off and made tea. Then we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Afterward, I put the massagers back on and plugged into a power strip. Then I sat back to experience the squeezing and heat. It lasted 30 minutes. Then I took them off and went to bed.
