Finishing the dino head

 

Thursday

I woke up before 6:30. I opened the blinds for the plants and went back to bed. Sleep wouldn't come, so I got up before 7:30. I got myself ready for the day. I practiced and exercised. I ate some egg salad.

I went to Bible Study at the chapel. I carried in the eggcrate foam mat. We read through two chapters of John. As we were discussing it, my phone beeped. The signover I thought was at 11, was actually at 10. So I quickly packed up and drove over there. I had a contract in the car so I filled it out and had him sign it. He gave me cash which I put in an envelop. I chatted with the inspectors. They told me to pick up the key at the Housing office this afternoon.

I went home to drop off the envelop and contract. I ate fiber gel. I called John to help clean, but apparently I woke him up. I went to 628 to clean for 90 minutes.

At noon I went home to make breakfast and watch The Highwire. I paused it when Jamie called. She wanted to trade cleaning hours for raking leaves. I said ok, and we continued to talk. It went so long, that we were still talking when I headed to the chapel.

I arrived at 2:45. I started painting the unpainted spots on the dinosaur head. Then Isadora and Eryne showed up with paints and a glue gun and a drill. Eryne drilled a hole in each side of the head. We used straws to thread some twine through the head to make a hanging loop. Isadora painted eyes on separate pieces of eye-shaped cardboard. Eryne cut out some teeth and I painted them. Eryne mixed up some paints to get a deep green color. I slathered it on bubble wrap and dabbed the bubbles on the head to look like scales. Then we took pics and cleaned up.

I texted John to meet me for cleaning. I stopped by Housing to sign out a key to 83E. Then I went to 628. I called John and Michele answered. She said he would come later. I cleaned for an hour before he showed up. It got dark. Then we both cleaned for an hour.

We went our separate ways. I went home to make and eat supper. I finished watching The Highwire. I read messages and e-mails. I saw that Michelle had posted the pic of the dinosaur head on all three community pages. I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds.
