Writing music for handbells

                                                                                                                                                         Sunday


I got up after 8, sort of, but which time? My old phone, which can't connect anymore, knew the time had changed. Anyway, I brushed my teeth and took supplements. While the B12 was melting, I did my exercises, then whipped up some seed crackers for church. I checked messages, then worked on a simple line for bells to accompany our Thanksgiving hymns. It took longer than it seemed it should. I practiced my trombone.

I got online and looked at thread prices. Sewing class is running low on white thread. I wonder if cone thread wound onto spools would work as well? Some sources say yes, but is the twist right?

I ate half of the fiber gel, then compared more thread prices. I made and ate breakfast, got dressed, put seed crackers in a container and went to the chapel.

I warmed up while the praise team was practicing. I talked to Jenni. Soon it was time for the three praise songs. Then Cpl. Popken spoke about giving and announced the things going on at the church. Then the chaplain gave his sermon and the band played two hymns. We had communion. I went to check on the dinosaur head and it was dry so I texted Eryne.

A new guy came up to help with the first kids choir. Keli told me he had a music background so I asked him and Chaplain if they would play bells with us tomorrow. He said he'd think about it. Chaplain said he didn't think he could.

I went home to change clothes and peel a grapefruit. I went back to the chapel and ate it while waiting for Eryne and Isadora to show up. Then we added more paper mache to the T-rex head. We agreed to meet again tomorrow to add treats to the top skull and glue the hole shut.

I went home. Chris was cooking bean soup. I deployed the stink bomb in a gopher hole and blew into the tunnel. Then, I could not resist pouring a 5 gallon bucket of water in. Nothing came out so I filled it up and did it again.

When I went in, I ate the fiber gel. We signed into Discord for the game. I ate a bowl of soup. We encountered evil skeletons and we diverted ships. Mostly, I watched short videos of Christmas crafts.

After the game, we put the food away. I worked on my blog, then made tea. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. I took the evening supplements. I watered the plants. I caught up on e-mail and messages then took charcoal and got ready for bed.
