Another extra practice

 

Wednesday

I woke up early, but tried to go back to sleep. I got up when the alarm went off. I prepared for coffee morning in the usual way. The exception was leaving my phone on. Just in case someone calls looking for a cleaner.

After meditation and tapping, I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. I washed the dishes and left them on the stove to dry. I took a shower and vacuumed and mopped. I put a contract and envelop in my car.

At 1:45 I drove to 5132 for a sign-over. I had been told the apartment was really bad. It didn't look that way on first inspection, but closer inspection revealed a lot. I was glad she had bid $500 on it. He gave me the money and key and we signed the contract. We stood around and chatted with the inspectors.

Everyone left and I locked the door. Then Jamie came back to pick up two things that the occupant had left behind. We talked some more. I went home to drink water and made egg salad. I checked e-mail and messages. I made laundry soap.

At 3:30 I went to 83E to clean for 90 minutes. I almost finished. I called Jamie and asked her to help me change out the toilet seat (that one is wood and my replacement one is plastic). She said yes, sooner rather than later.

I went home and tried again to file an ArMA report for the things that need repair at 83. Jamie called around and said /83 might work as a building number. And it did. But then the form wanted to know what kind of lock it was. It would not accept 'deadbolt', so I looked up some locks and tried all the brand names. Nope. But then it accepted 'bolt'. After that, I also reported the kitchen faucet. That report went better.

I checked messages again. Chris ran to the commissary to get milk for Michele. I went to the chapel to make the square of fleece into a rectangle. In my mind, the job took 10 minutes. But in reality, it took a lot longer because the fabric wasn't straight and stretched when I laid it out. Cutting wasn't too bad. But sewing was tricky. I had to shove it through with a pin and the machine skipped some stitches. But I finished in time. Chaplain arrived and helped me dressed the bell table with it. It didn't completely cover the foam on top. Sigh.

We got out the bells and I set them up by the music easels. I put out gloves too. Michele wasn't coming so I asked Jenni to play in her place. Elizabeth didn't come either, so Rod's wife played in her place. Rod moved Saronna and I to the other side of the podium. The guitar players didn't come. We played through the two pieces over and over. I had to sit down. I was exhausted. The Bible study people came in, but had to go to the fellowship hall to avoid the noise.

When practice was over and it was decided to play again on Sunday, everyone filed out. I packed up my sewing stuff and put it in the sewing closet. Michelle was still talking to someone when I put on my coat and headed home.

Chris was home on his laptop. I worked on my blog and drank water. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I looked up one of the actors. Chris went to bed, but I read e-mail and messages till 11. Then I went to bed, too.
