Monday
I got up at 7:45, after a long night of flipping back and forth, trying to get comfortable. I plugged in the tablet. I rinsed mung seeds and took supplements. I turned on my tablet and made sure the keyboard app was working.
I looked online for 295nm wavelength lights. I brought in the milk (no eggs today). I heated half of it to 100 F, then put it in the dehydrator. I put the other half in a jar for Michelle. I practiced a little, then looked for caroling song sheets. I found 5. I looked up the starting notes for each song.
I jotted notes. Kurt asked me for my blog notes to see if AI could make a post out of them. (Later I got a good laugh out of what it wrote). I went to the library to make copies of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. They gave me two cartons of eggs. I dropped off canned goods at the pantry door.
Then I went to 648. I was hoping for a better result in the driveway once it dried. But there were plenty of oil spots left. I tried to heat up the steamer, but the top wouldn't close all the way and no steam came out. I tried making a paste of baking soda and Dawn. People on the internet say it gets old grease stains out of clothes. I rubbed it into several grease spots. I also brought out some of my cleaning stuff and put it in my car to take home. I stopped at Housing to schedule the inspection for next week.
I brought in the shower curtain and hung it up. I read outside. I made breakfast. I read messages as I ate.
I went to 648 to get more cleaning stuff out and to do the last wiping and mopping. Then I went to the chapel to sew an extra strip onto the side of the bell table cover. But the extra strip was nowhere to be found. I went home.
I pulled some of the stuff out of my car. I put the eggs in the fridge. I ate fiber gel. I searched my sewing room for soft fabric to match the bell's table cover. I found 2 possibilities and put them by my music. I put supper in the toaster oven.
Chris came home from work. He wanted to go get water now that the Primo machine got moved to the shoppette. So we loaded up the three bottles and went to the shoppette. It was working. We filled them up and were able to pay by credit card. Then we took them home. Chris brought them in. My supper was ready so I ate.
Then I packed up my professional trombone and went to the chapel. Amazingly I was the first one there, although the others were right behind me. We went in and got set up. Sophia helped me carry the bell table back into the sanctuary. Michele and John helped place the bells back into position. The band played their two pieces for Sunday. Then we started on the Christmas music. When the first bell piece came up, Saronna and I put down our instruments and took our positions at the bell table. We played through O Come All Ye Faithful multiple times till we got it right. For some reason, my music had changed key so it threw me off. Then we practiced Silent Night on bells.
Finally the band got to play through the rest of their pieces and, after turning out the lights and humming Silent Night around the tree, I dismissed them. However Keli and bells had to stay and practice some more.
After the others left, I stayed to arrange the purple piece of fabric on the bell table to hide the foam that was showing. Then I turned out all the lights and locked up and went home.
I worked on my blog. I hydrated. I made tea. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. I went back to reading on my laptop. It was after 11 when I went to bed.
