Class sample: success or not?

 

Friday

I got up by 7:30. I did all the usual morning routine. I checked e-mail and headed to the chapel for Math Morning. I opened the chapel and the Clarks went in. I ran home to get the cards for the multiplication game. The kids quietly worked on their math assignments while Jedediah counted chairs in the chapel. Then we spent the second half playing the game. Moira joined late, but still came in second because Wilhelm kept guessing incorrectly.

After Math Morning, we locked up. I went to 628 to picked up the vacuum. Then I cleaned in 83. John joined me for 45 minutes. Went I got home, it was almost noon. I ate fiber gel. I made up a week's worth of supplements.

I made and ate breakfast. We went to the commissary for groceries. When we got home, I printed out the lab form for the hair mineral analysis. I put everything in an envelop and walked it to the post office. They said one stamp was enough.

When I got home, I took the fabric to the sewing room. I looked up a pic of a live turkey. Many had white tips on their feathers. So I cut a length of orange fabric and left the white selvedge edge on. I gathered the bottom and cut a half circle to stitch it to. But ultimately I didn't like it. I cut another length to made the body, gathered at both ends and stuffed. But it was too big for the tail. I also looked up a pattern for the head. I stuffed the head and added a felt beak and wattle. But it didn't look great either. I trimmed them down. I added a strip onto the tail to suggest feathers.

I was exhausted. I took pics of the turkey and cropped them, finally choosing a one. I posted to all three community Facebook pages. I heated bean soup and rice for supper. I read some e-mails and messages. I jotted notes for my blog and posted for yesterday.

I prepared for game night. I went to Michelle's house with cheese for her. Casey had the game up. I loaded my saved game. I played through what notes I had written down, which didn't take long. I expected to find stuff I could interact with that would progress the game. But that's not what happened. Eventually I tried to put the tuning fork in the statue and the game abended. Casey got it back and I caught myself back up and saved my findings. I tried other things, but nothing seemed to fit. I tried a different tuning fork and the game ended again.

It was almost 11, so I quit. Michelle and I talked a while longer, then I went home. Chris was already in bed. I got ready for bed and joined him.
