The oven is on fire

Saturday

I got up around 8, having had a hard time getting to sleep. But no RLS. I took supplements, practiced, etc. I read e-mail. When Chris got back from Mass, I asked for a massage. Afterward, he took his shower and I took mine.

Then I went to 648 to make sure the stuff left behind was in the garage or laundry room. I started the self-clean cycle on the stove. I also cleaned up all the balls of fur. I picked up some of the dog poop and decided I was willing to pay someone to do it for me. I noticed that there was a small flame in the oven. It was not out of control or anything. So I called Chris to ask what I should do. He agreed that there was no reason to call the fire department. But I could not leave the house just in case. So I canceled the self-clean cycle and gradually the flame died out.

I went home and had breakfast. I posted for Project Night, the last one for this year. I put a vacuum and mop in my car and drove to Tina's house. She wanted me to sweep and mop the kitchen and dining room. I didn't think that would take two hours. But we talked first, then I vacuumed in and around all sorts of things. I mopped several times to get all the layers of dirt. Then I scrubbed the back door.

It was 4 then, and she wanted to share a cake she had made for the first time in 25 years. It was so sweet of her that I accepted even though I gave up desserts years ago. It was made with ouzo and mayo. It didn't sound good, but it really was tender and tasty. She gave me the recipe and half of the cake to take home.

When I got home, I told Chris and he said he doesn't like Ouzo. He had put the leftover turkey in the oven. I ate fiber gel, then read messages for awhile. I then ate turkey and some of the onions that were cooked with it. Soooo good. Michele and John came over with a philly steak pizza that Michele had made. I had a piece and it was very good too. John said he likes Ouzo, but by then I had decided to take it to church.

I watched short Telegram videos for awhile, then jumped up to get ready for Project Night. I took bags of stuff for making ornaments. I didn't have room for the trombone. When I got to the chapel, John and Michele were close behind me. We walked into the chapel together, turning on lights as we went. Then the Luna's arrived with his mother from Hawaii. Casey and Cedric came, as did Jenni. So it was a good turnout.

Stirling's mom shortened some pants and talked about wanting to teach a hula dance. Several people were up for that, and it ended up that she is going to come to band practice to hear the songs and pick one to teach hula to. And they are all coming to church.

I went home at 8:45. I worked on my blog and then it was too late to watch TV. So I read new messages and investigated ways to get oil stains off of concrete. Chris went to bed and I stayed up to listen to the sleep track before going to bed myself.
