Volunteering for the food closet

 

Tuesday

I got up at 7:30, having slept ok. No RLS. I did all the usual things. I fed the starter. Then I got dressed and went to the Keetch room at ACS. There were huge boxes of canned foods. Emily had posted saying they needed people to sort and date them. So she and I sorted them by type of food and put aside those that were badly dented. We wrote the date in large numbers on the top of each can. Other people dropped by to help from time to time. As we got down to the bottom of the box, it hurt my back to fish out cans.

At 11:30 I quit and went to the library to print out the new bells music. Keli reminded me of the shepherds hook for hanging the dino head. I went home and ate fiber gel. I read outside for 20 minutes. When I came in, I grabbed the tall shepherds hooks from the garage, thinking they won't fit in my car. Then I made breakfast, noting that I had run out of breakfast mix. Oh well. I ate breakfast while jotting notes because I had no connection to the internet. I checked the breaker box and none seemed flipped. I texted Chris about it. Then I looked at the outlet and things connected had no power. So I flipped the breakers off and back on. This time the internet came back up.

I tried to put in a work order for things broken at 83E, but the system required a building number. I counted the cash that Jamie gave me and calculated how much of it was hers depending on her hours at 628, 204 and 83D. I put hers in an envelop and some for John.

Then I got a call saying they wanted to inspect 628 early. So I ran over there and met them. Jamie came too. They were pleased and we signed off on it. I gave Jamie her envelop. She said people are afraid to call for cleaning when they see my last name. So she suggested I use my maiden name on the cleaning list.

Then I left. I dropped off a dozen eggs at Saronna's house. I went home to get my phone. I left a message for Keli about the shepherd's hook. I went to 83E to clean, stopping at the post office along the way. I cleaned for 90 minutes, then went home.

I ate fiber gel. I read some e-mail. I signed into Zoom for the quilt guild meeting. I put supper in the toaster oven. Chris came home from work and made himself supper.

After the meeting, I signed out. We chatted. I read more e-mail while listening to a video on something or other.

I worked on my blog. I sketched out how to turn the square of purple fleece into a rectangular table cover with even hangdown all around. Then I made tea. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. I didn't quite follow the ending so I had to look up a good synopsis online. Then I used my leg massagers.
