Caroling around the neighborhood

 

Tuesday

I got up after 8. Chris was gone to Tooele to get his car worked on. I took supplements and checked messages. I practiced the Christmas music. I looked through thousands of AI book titles on Brighteon for one on RLS. There wasn't one, so I wrote a detailed prompt and sent it in to be written. They are promoting their book-writing AI service. I downloaded some of the titles I saw.

I took stuff to the swap shop. I was hoping to find Christmas lights for MeryAnn, but they were gone. I pulled inside two large trashbags of clothes that someone left. I put some stuff away and took pictures of other stuff. I picked up my mail.

When I got home, the RLS book was written and the link e-mailed to me. I ate fiber gel and sent some messages. I read outside, but it was windy so I didn't stay long. I made and ate breakfast. I read the AI book on RLS. Seems like it could be a lot shorter.

I went to Saronna's house to practice Christmas music. I delivered cheese squares to Michelle. I dropped off a rake at Jamie's house. I went to 648 to roll the trash and recycling out to the curb.

When I got home, I took stuff out of my car and put it in the garage. I cleaned out two vacuum cleaners which were on the front porch. I hunted through my collection of attachments and found a crevice tool for the one that didn't have one. Then I took them to the swap shop.

I ate fiber gel, put supper in the toaster oven and worked on my blog. I called Chris and Michele answered, saying they were on their way back to post. I ate supper. I got ready for caroling by stashing the song sheets in my purse and waking up the tablet.

I went to Michelle's house to pick up Cedric. Then I drove to Pinyon and parked at the house I am working on. We walked to the park and met the Clarks standing under a street light. Others joined us and we walked to Janet's house. In the cul-de-sac was a truck pulling a trailer with benches and decorated with lights. We piled onto the trailer and some kids got in the bed of the truck. Someone had a bluetooth speaker and played music that we sang to. The truck drove down the street. We stopped here and there. Little kids jumped off to ring doorbells. We sang when people came out. Then we went to Michelle's house where she had a hot cocoa bar set up. After enjoying the cocoa, we thanked her and jumped back on the trailer. We stopped and sang at the commissary and at the firestation and at EMS. Then we went to my neck of the woods and sang for a few different people, including Chris.

I wanted to stop and sing at Keli's house, but for some reason we just passed her street. We went up the hill to sing for the Colonel and CSM. Then we went down Jamie's street and sang for her. She hugged a few of us who know that she's leaving. Then Cedric and I walked back to my car. I took him home, then drove over to Keli's RV. When Eryne arrived, we knocked on her door and sang two songs and wished them a Merry Christmas. Then we each went home.

I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Then I got on my laptop and read messages. Chris went to bed. I put on the leg massagers and the sleep track. I jotted notes for today's blog, then went to bed.
