Voter information becomes public

 

Sunday

I got up at 8, did some Sudoku and brushed my teeth. I rinsed the sprouts and stirred the vinegar and watered the plants. I checked e-mail and looked for fruit tree leaves online.

I made cheese squares, then Chris gave me a massage. I ate fiber gel, read e-mail, then made and ate breakfast. I got dressed for church.

I took cheese squares to the chapel and left them in the back. I put the hymn music on the stand. Jenni sat with me. We sang praise songs, then later I read the scripture readings. Chaplain gave the sermon. We played the hymns, then he gave the blessing.

I thought we were done so I was talking to people when he started gathering us into a circle for Communion which he had forgotten to do. So we had Communion. Then we chatted among ourselves. When I headed to the back to get the cheese squares, Anca came over quickly to get a few and then Bryce came over. He looked at me, then at the cheese squares, then at me again. I got the message. I put the cover on and handed him the container.

I called Michelle to come to the sauna. I called Steve to turn it on. I went home to change and check e-mail. I went to the gym and met Michelle there. We went into the locker room and Jenni showed up. We went in the sauna and chatted for over an hour. We were all upset about the letters we got saying that our voting info and addresses would become public information as of sometime in May. Then we got out and I rinsed off and redressed. We walked outside to our cars and I saw the crabapple tree had suckers. So I stripped some leaves off of one and drove home.

I washed the leaves and put them in the dehydrator. Chris had supper waiting for me. I filled a bowl and signed into the game. We chatted first then Chris read the particulars of the situation and we found ourselves in a most wonderful castle with drinks, food, massages, etc. Of course, while we were having dinner with the host, he got a message that someone he owed a favor to required proof of our demise. So we played that out for the rest of the game.

After the game, it was raining, so I looked for my keys to put my windows up, but they were not down as I thought. I unpacked my sauna bag. I worked on my blog while Chris helped Michele answer questions on her taxes. Then I made tea and we watched Criminal Minds. I went back to looking for fruit leaves and finally went to bed.

First 3-D printing class

 

Saturday

I got up at 7:30. I got ready for the day. Chris took a shower and went to Mass. I parsed supplements for the next week. I steamed in the sauna, then took a shower and got dressed.

Soon it was time to go to the ACS building for the 3-D printing class. The librarian explained that they got a grant to buy the 3-D printer and it stipulated that classes must be given and taken in order for people to use it. Although 17 people signed up for the class, only 10 showed up. We learned about the kinds of filaments, safety issues, and copyright concerns. Then she asked what people wanted to make and most wanted to make DnD or other characters.

After class, I went home, stopping at the post office. I ate fiber gel and read outside. It was windy and the sun kept going behind clouds. Then I came in to make and eat breakfast. Later I put some dust cloths in a bucket and went to Tina's house. She told me stories of old Dugway while I dusted shelves of DVD's. Then she showed me some quilt projects she had from before the accident.

When I got home, Chris told me that Michele and John were not coming over. I ate fiber gel, put ham and sauerkraut in the toaster oven and read e-mail. Later I ate supper. Michele came over to chat, saying John was asleep.

When it was nearly 7, I threw some projects in a bag and headed to the chapel. I unlocked the doors and put my stuff inside. I stood outside enjoying the last of the sun. Wilhelm arrived first and said his sisters weren't far away. John and Michele arrived. Then Saronna. So we went into the sanctuary to have rhythm class. But the music folder wasn't there. Accordingly, I got out the level two band books. We tried playing from them on drum sticks. Then I had them play sticks while I played Chopsticks on the piano. But some didn't get the rhythm. So I turned it into a dance. Some got it and some didn't, but Saronna appreciated the variety. Then her kids went home and we chatted about nasal surgery. John and Michele left.

I went back to the hall and it was just Casey and Cedric. Casey was tired so they packed up and we all left. I was home by 8:3 and ate more yogurt. I had to wrestle with Task Manager to get Open Office to work again in order to work on my blog. Then I typed up yesterday and today.

I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. Afterward, Kurt texted with me and I looked up tea leaves from fruit trees until almost midnight. Then I went to bed.

No notes for Game Night

 

Friday

I got up about 7:30. I stirred and rinsed and exercised, etc. I pulled up the recipe and proofed the yeast, then mixed in the rest of the ingredients. I went to Math Morning. The kids came with math, but getting them to actually concentrate on it was like pulling teeth. I've decided that I won't do it next year.

When I got home, I changed my shoes. I set the machine to mix the dough again. Then I went to garden clean up. I worked for over an hour. Michele happened to walk by so we chatted. Jenni as well. Then Mrs. Pace came by with her son. They helped me rip the chicken wire box out and she took it for her garden.

When I got home, I ate fiber gel and formed rolls from the dough. I put them in a warm oven to rise. I read outside for awhile. I came in to make breakfast. I baked the rolls while eating.

We went to the commissary for groceries. We took them home, then went to Tooele for things the commissary didn't have. I had a consult at Melanies and bought some Moon Drops that are supposed to help me sleep. I went to Macey's for organic apples. We went back to the base.

I ate fiber gel, read e-mail, then ate ham and potato. I listened to interviews. I threw the ingredients for beer bread into the bread machine. I walked to the post office for mail, walked home with supplements. I ate several yogurts. I formed rolls and put them in a warm oven to rise, then worked on my blog. I took notes for the game tonight.

I took some kimchi yogurt to Game Night for Casey. Michelle was at the prom with Isadora. I forgot my phone so I didn't have any notes. Things did not go well in the game. I got stuck and went to other versions of the game and tried to remember how to do those situations. At 10:55, I thanked Casey and went home. I checked two things to see what I missed. Then I went to bed.

Finally I get a nap

 

Thursday

I got up by 7:30. I watered the plants and exercised. I checked a ferment from last night. It had already separated. I took yogurt and went to open the chapel for Bible Study. Two ladies were waiting in their car. So we all went in together.

The three of us chatted then Tara arrived. We read from Ecclesiastes and discussed that chapter and more. I passed out yogurt to those who wanted it. We locked up and left at 11.

I went home and ate yogurt. I read e-mail, then ate fiber gel. I laid outside and read for over half an hour. I came in to make breakfast and listen to The Highwire. I ran the numbers for cleaning hours and payment. I went to the inspection for 211 and the occupant paid me.

I went by Saronna's house, but she wasn't home. When I got home, I made up more pay envelopes. I taped the rubber back onto the wheels of the metal lounge chair and rolled it toward the privacy wall.

I put on a video on VPNs. When I realized it was making me sleepy, I moved to the recliner and took a nap. Yay! After I woke up, Bryce called needing kitchen stuff, so I said I would leave the swap shop open. I took the key and walked to the post office to unlock both rooms. I checked the kitchen supplies and there seemed to be what he needed. I also check for shoes and cotton pants for me, but didn't find anything. I walked home and arrived just as Chris did. He was carrying a pizza. I talked to him about our excess kitchen stuff.

I ate fiber gel. I posted to my blog. I heated leftovers for supper. I read through a bunch of e-mail. We discussed issues of the day. I ran to lock up the swap shop. I got there just as the police were leaving. But they hadn't locked the doors. Odd.

I made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I watched the rest of an episode of Call the Midwife and started another. At 11, I shut it down and went to bed, but had a hard time falling asleep.  Was it the nap?

A typical Wednesday

 

Wednesday

I got up at 7:30. I prepared for coffee morning. After exercising, reading, meditating and tapping, I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. Not many dishes to wash since Chris ran the dishwasher.

I checked e-mail, then prepared the sauna and steamed. I showered and cleaned up. I checked more e-mail, then made and ate egg salad. I went to the post office for mail, and to the library to get another book. I stopped at the gym to pay Davis and went to 211 to make sure we hadn't missed any spots before inspection tomorrow.

I went home. I raked and mowed in the front yard and the enclosed back yard. I jotted notes for my blog. I read e-mail. I looked up some questions on the internet. I made tea and we watched Criminal Minds. I watched the last half from yesterday and started another episode of Call the Midwife. I paused it around 11 and went to bed.

Sucessful inspection

 

Tuesday

I got up at 7:30. I checked the ferments. I practiced and exercised just a little – too sore from shampooing carpet yesterday. I caught up on e-mail.

I went to 650 for inspection at 10:30. I had time to double-check everything and sweep bee hives out of the shed. The inspectors showed up at 11. They looked around, found some red flecks in the toilet. Then we signed papers and chatted. I went home.

I ate fiber gel, then read outside in the sun. I came in to prepare and eat breakfast. I got a call asking how I would clean certain things. So I threw together a bucket of supplies and went to her house. I spent half an hour showing her how to clean, but she seemed unsatisfied.

I went to see Saronna. We played and chatted for an hour. Her 4yo carried my trombone out to my car. I went to 650B with a pumice stone to get those flecks off the toilet. On my way home, I dropped off the garage remote.

I read messages, then looked at electroculture videos. I ordered 4 sprigs of copper wire. I looked for a video of magnets on a glass of water to mimic something I saw online for $50.

Chris came home. We went to the gas station for 3 jugs of water and a tank of gas. We replaced the porch lightbulb, with Chris grumbling all the way about inconvenient fixtures.

I mowed some high parts of the front lawn and the strip by the road. I prepared pay envelopes for my crew. I worked on my blog and ate some sleep yogurt. I made tea. We watched Criminal Minds. Later I watched one and a half episodes of Call the Midwife and went to bed.

Processing the milk

 

Monday

I got up before 8. I started to get ready for the day. I brought in the milk and eggs. I heated half of the milk to 180 and let it cool. I poured out the jars of egg colors and washed them, then put them in the oven to sterilize. I cheesed the half gallon of milk left from last week. I blended up half the leftover sprouts and drank it. I heated the other half of the new milk. I pulled out all the jars of yogurt and decided which ones to feed and which ones to let go (based on health effects. I strained the pineapple scraps out of the vinegar and tossed them in the compost.

I ate fiber gel, then read outside for almost an hour in the sun. I came in to make breakfast. I ate while checking e-mail and messages. I steamed two batches of eggs. I put some of them in a jar of kombucha to ferment. I made breakfast mix.

At 3:30 I went to 211 to clean. John arrived at 4 to move the furniture around so I could vacuum and shampoo the carpet. Right after he left, Isadora showed up to clean the bathroom. We finished up about 7:30 and carried all the stuff to my car. She walked home and I drove home.

I brought all my cleaning stuff in from the car. Rod was there talking to Chris. I was really tired and didn't feel like talking. After Rod left, Chris got out the ham and I fixed a bowl of supper. I ate it while reading messages and watching NWNW. I posted to my blog for yesterday. Then I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds.

Easter Sunday

 

Sunday

I got up after 7:30. Chris came home from the Easter sunrise service around 8. He said it was well attended but cold.

I rinsed the sprouts and stirred the pineapple vinegar-to-be. I looked for ph paper to check the acidity, but all I found was the box that the roll came in. I checked e-mail, then looked for more ph paper to order. I found a few other items to order to get free shipping, then realized the paper read values from 5.5 to 8. But I needed a lower ph reading for vinegar.

I ate fiber gel, then read outside for too long.  I made and ate breakfast, then put eggs and sprouts on an aluminum sheet pan.  I got dressed and went to the chapel for bells practice.  John and Michele weren't there, so I called them. She said they forgot it was Sunday.  Arrgh!  So Saronna and Elizabeth and I practiced the songs until John and Michele arrived. But then it was time for the service to start. Chris had also arrived with the eggs and sprouts, which he put in the fridge.

The chaplain prayed and then the band went up front to play the two songs. Janet and Leilani did a dance by the cross and the kid soldier rolled the stone away to reveal the message that Chris is risen. Then Rod read the scriptures and the chaplain gave his sermon on why he became a Christian. At the end, we sang a praise song.

There was food leftover from the sunrise service so Chris put the eggs beside it in the fellowship hall. But most people did not go down there. Summer organized an egg hunt on the church lawn so that's where most people went. John and the chaplain went to have some pickled eggs and sprouts. So I sat and talked to them and Popkin. Chris took the eggs and went home.

Later I stopped by the gym to turn on the sauna. I went home to eat my grapefruit and change. I also texted Michelle. I went to the sauna with a book. Sadly I had to wear glasses to read it. Michelle came in later and we talked until after 4:30.

I went home for the game. I unpacked my sauna bag. Chris had supper in the oven. So I ate that as we talked until John and Michele woke up and joined the game. Then we picked up where we left off last week.

After the game, John wanted to go for a walk, so we all went to the school and walked around the school block: pretty close to a mile. Those two were on their phones catching Pokemon the whole time. Sheesh!

Afterward, I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. Then I worked on my blog.  It got too late to watch Call the Midwife.  I went to bed, but could not sleep due to RLS.  I got up around 1 and read a book by my red light.   I took some niacin and must have fallen asleep before the flush kicked in.

Hat decorating event

 

Saturday

I got up at 8. Chris was already up. I did the usual morning chores, like stirring the pineapple vinegar-to-be, but it should have been vinegar by now. Chris went to the Catholic service. I practiced and exercised. I checked e-mail. When he got back, he gave me a massage and we cuddled and talked.

When dressed, I ate my fiber gel. I collected up craft supplies that might be useful to decorate hats. I had Chris move some heavy boxes around so I could look for more. I brewed tea to feed the scoby that Michelle had given me.

Then I made and ate breakfast. Later I read outside because it was finally warm and sunny. It felt so good I almost fell asleep.

I came in and checked e-mail. I watched some videos. I posted for my blog for the last two days. I jotted notes for today. I carried most of my cleaning stuff to 211 and cleaned there for 2 hours. Then I went home to find Chris cooking ham. I helped with the garlic cream sauce for the potatoes. I texted John and Michele. They came over and we ate and talked. John LOVED the glaze on the ham.

Just before 7, I grabbed my bags of decorating supplies. John helped me carry them to the car. Saronna and her girls were waiting for me at the chapel. They helped carry bags in. I spread out the supplies on the tables in the fellowship hall and got out the hats. Several other people came, but they brought their own projects. I called Chris and asked him to bring me a glue gun that I forgot, plus a jacket. I thought he would send them with John and Michele, but he brought them himself. I was chasing down thread because it seems to have disappeared in the clean-up.

At 7:30, Elizabeth and Caleb arrived. So I went to meet them and set up the bells. When Keli arrived, we played through the two hymns for the following Sunday. Then Michele and John arrived. He laid down because he had eaten too much ham. But we got him back up so the bells could practice with the band. I dismissed the band and practiced with just the bells. After they left, I spent 45 minutes cleaning up all the hat-making supplies.

When I got home, we folded laundry, then made the bed. I rewatched a video on pineapple vinegar, then went to bed.

Good Friday

 

Friday

I got up by 8. I got ready for the day. I made up supplements for the week. I opened the chapel for Math Morning. Saronna brought her four kids. I sat with Moira and helped her go through missed problems while Saronna monitored the others.

Afterward, I went home. I prepared the sauna and steamed for 20 minutes, then cleaned up and took a shower. I ate fiber gel, read outside, then prepared breakfast and ate it.

We went to the shoppette to pick up a key for an apartment I am supposed to clean. Then we went to the commissary for the usual groceries. We also went to Tooele to get change for a $100 bill and to pick up some stuff for the hat decorating class. But the dollar store didn't have much.

When we got back, I went to 650 to finish the house and mop my way out. Then I went home. I put supper in the toaster oven. I made pickling juice and put the blue and green eggs in it. I got dressed for church. I read e-mail until the last minute, then jumped up to leave and Chris wasn't quite ready.

We walked in to the chapel late, heralded by Wilhelm who informed us that we were being waited for. The band played a hymn, the chaplain prayed, we played another hymn and sat for the service. The chaplain spoke about how Christ suffered in carrying the cross, being beaten, crucified, etc. It was graphic. There were readings. Then the band played again at the end. The service was not well attended: the chaplain, his assistant and the band members and their families. Again, we left in silence.

When we got home, we had a 'discussion' about how I handled being late. So I was late preparing for game night. When I got to Michelle's house, we chatted for a bit before I played the game. I followed my notes until I came to a part where I needed a remote that I didn't have. So I had to replay that part and asked Michelle to look up a few things. It was after 11 when I saved the game. But we chatted for another hour before I left. When I got home, I got ready and went to bed.

Maundy Thursday

 

Thursday

I got up before 8. It was raining again. I rinsed several jars of sprouts. I blended up a carrot and boiled it for more orange color for pickled eggs. I added beet juice to the red jar.

I went to Bible Study with yogurt. We chatted, read two chapters and talked about them. Afterward, I went to 650 to clean for an hour, then went home. I ate fiber gel, and read for 20 minutes. I made breakfast and ate while watching The Highwire until it glitched and was gone. I waited for it to come back on, but it never did.

I got my shoes wet pouring out SBO on the flower beds. I left the shoes to dry in front of a portable heater. I got a text for a quote so I stopped at the post office then ran over to the apartment and looked around. I texted back a price, then went home.

I read e-mail. I sliced up a pineapple and ate some, put the rest in the fridge. Chris came home from work early. He called in his pizza order. Later he went to get it. I refreshed The Highwire screen and was able to watch the rest of the episode. I wrote up my notes on the parasite cleanse. I jotted notes for my blog.

I got dressed for church. We went to the chapel at 7. The chaplain had set up 3 tables in a triangle. Pita bread and a cup were at each place. The band played two hymns, then we sat and read, and listened while he explained the last supper. Then we took a bite of pita bread and a sip of juice at the proper time. When the service was over, he asked us to leave in silence. So Saronna and I packed up our instruments but left them there and walked out.

When we got home, I ate a bowl of ground beef. I checked e-mail, then made tea. We watched Criminal Minds. Then I watched Call the Midwife and went to bed.

Her job is safe now!

 

Wednesday

I got up at 8. I prepared for coffee morning. I did 4 rounds of meditation and tapping. I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. I washed dishes. I checked e-mail. I used the steam sauna and took a shower. I started another batch of sprouts. I walked to the post office because it was finally sunny: just one piece of mail and it was for Chris.

I made egg salad with old colored eggs. I went to 650 to clean for an hour and 15 minutes, finishing the upstairs and some baseboards downstairs. When I got home, I ate some yogurt. I finished reading outside. I sat at my laptop with something cold on my arm while I read e-mail.

Chris came home from work. He looked for but could not find the shorts he was wearing this morning and I could not find them either. Then he told me that Michele was informed today that her position was no longer an overhire. I was so happy I started to tear up. 

 As I went back to listening to a podcast, Chris talked to me on and off. I worked on my blog. I made tea. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. I watched Call the Midwife at my laptop and went to bed.

Coloring fresh eggs for Sunday

 

Tuesday

I got up at 7:30, not having slept well. I got ready for the day.  I pulled out all the jars of colored eggs.  I checked to see if the colors had penetrated the white. The green eggs were blue inside. Anyway, I hardboiled more eggs and made three of each color. I put some of the original colored eggs in a clear brine to see of the color comes out or if it changes in any way.

I went cleaning for 90 minutes. I came home to have fiber gel and read outside for 20 minutes. I made and ate breakfast. I watched an episode of Call the Midwife.

I went by the chapel and picked up my trombone and the easels.  I went to Saronna's house.  We played and two of her kids drummed along.  Afterward, I went to the library to return the easels.  Then I went to 650 to clean.  Sophia and Moira showed up to clean baseboards.  Sophia worked upstairs and Moira worked downstairs.  I mopped floors.  Sophia picked up the golf balls in the back yard and they went home.  I mopped some more. It was after 5 when I left.

When I got home, I ate the rest of the fiber gel and walked the neighborhood picking up trash, hopefully before it gets mowed. Chris came home from work and made his supper. I put leftovers in the toaster oven. I read e-mail and messages. I ate supper. I worked on my blog. Took notes on parasite cleanse, I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds.  I started a batch of sprouts.  I worked on VMIS hours, then went to bed.

Don't take our piano player!

 

Monday

I got up before 8, having slept hard the last half of the night. Was the sleep yogurt responsible? I got ready for the day. I rinsed the sprouts and watered the plants and stirred the pineapple vinegar-to-be. I posted for band and bells. I brought in the milk and eggs. I heated half and cooled it, then added it to previous yogurts and made a new one – b. subtilus AB-22. I heated the other half, then left it to cool while I headed out.

I went to 650 and cleaned for 90 minutes. I went home to have fiber gel and to lay out in the sun to read. I made and ate breakfast. I made a copy of the hymn for Thursday night. I took it to the library to make a large print copy. The librarian told me that since Melissa was gone for Spring Break, Keli had to work till 7. Yikes!

I went back to 650 to clean for 2.5 hours. I took a break to call Keli and we decided to move band to 7pm. I texted Caleb to be sure he could do it. Saronna had already told me she was getting back too late for band.

I went home and ate fiber gel. I prepared supper and put it in the toaster oven. I read e-mail and messages. I jotted notes for work hours. I checked my ferments. I went to the chapel at 6:30 to set up bells. Elizabeth came and helped me. Right after we hauled out the boxes of bells. John and Michele arrived.

We practiced both songs in the fellowship hall. Keli came and stood in the doorway, so we finished our song and carried the table out to the sanctuary. Caleb was setting up. Finally the bells were able to practice with the piano and it went well. We did both songs, then I dismissed them. They were kind enough to pack it all up. Keli and Caleb and I practiced for Friday. Then Keli and I practiced for Thursday.

When I got home, I ate a carrot and checked Facebook. Something about a data center coming to Dugway? Then I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I looked up some of the characters. I watched an episode of Call the Midwife and went to bed.

Palm Sunday

 

Sunday

I got up around 8. I got ready for the day. I put the battery back in the mower and left it out front for Davis. I looked for a special strain of probiotic online. I made more breakfast mix. I ate fiber gel. I made cheese squares. I laid out in the sun and read a book. Davis brought the mower back.

I came in and made breakfast. I got dressed for church and put cheese squares in a container. I went to the chapel. Rick asked me about hats and showed me what Jenni told him to bring. I asked about a stack of plain hats and he said those weren't Jenni's.  I put our hymn music on the stand up front.

The service kind of started with the chaplain teaching a circle of us how to dance the hora. Then he played a song on his guitar while we tried to do the dance. Then he had us line up behind Keli and he described a similar dance, but I couldn't see her do it. But we followed her the best we could and she led us down the aisle around the seats and up to the front. We waved our palms and sang the song on the overhead projector. Then we returned to our seats and sang along with a praise song.

Chaplain talked about giving, Rick said the prayer, and Caleb read the scriptures. Chaplain talked about Palm Sunday and what is going to happen at the chapel this week. Then the band went up front to play hymns. Chaplain ended the service with a benediction. I talked to him about hymns for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Saronna asked him if we could play at the beginning of the service because she has to be home by 2. Caleb talked to me about Michele. We all headed out. I picked up the cheese squares and went home.

I called Davis to get the number for the gym. I called the gym to have them turn on the sauna. Then Janet texted asking if she should turn on the sauna. I ate a grapefruit and some yogurt, then put on a bathing suit. I packed my sauna bag and put two bottles of yarrow tea in. Michelle texted that she wasn't coming.

I met Janet in the changing room. The sauna was hot so I went in and arranged my towel and two bottles. We talked and sweated for an hour – mostly about pregnancy since she is due in June. Then we got out. I washed off and went home.

Chris had leftovers in the oven for me. I took the wet stuff from the sauna bag and hung it up. The others signed into Discord for the game so I did as well. I ate my supper during the pre-game talk. Then our characters followed a lady to a cave full of animated skeletons. We sent Spilaro in to check it out. He traveled invisibly. He stole the scythe of the lady in charge. The rest of us teleported in and fought with her, chaining her with lights. The rest was a discussion of what to do with her now.

After the game, we met John and Michele on school street and walked around the school block. Then Chris and I went home. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I looked up several characters. I worked on my blog. I watched an episode of Call the Midwife and went to bed.

Chapel Clean-up Day

 

Saturday

I got up at 8. While I went through the morning routine, Chris took a shower and went to church. I checked e-mail. When Chris got home, I asked for a massage and he complied. After my shower, he got started on the laundry.

I went to the chapel to help clean for an hour. Eryne and I worked on the room where I store the sewing supplies. They wanted to store the Christmas trees in there rather than the shed so we were looking for stuff to throw out or store elsewhere. And the shelves had mice dirt, so had to be cleaned.

At noon they broke for lunch – boxes of pizza. I went home for fiber gel. Then I laid out in the sun and read for awhile. I made breakfast and ate it. Then I took a bucket of cleaners and a jar of yogurt and went to Tina's house.

My first task was to clean mold off the ceiling above the shower. I tried a mop, but it was too soft. So with a stepladder and a sponge, I did what I could. Then I dusted shelves and DVD's. We also talked about the cats and old Dugway stories.

On my way home, I thought about cleaning at the house I signed for. But Michele and John were there and Chris was helping Michele with her resume. He was also cooking dinner and we ate before 5:30.

I got a new strip of watch batteries in the mail. So I popped one out and put it in my watch. The watch did not work. I tested the battery and it seemed to be low. I asked Chris if I was doing it right, and he didn't know.

At 7, I went to the chapel for Project Night and realized I had forgotten my project bag. So I quickly drove home and back. By then there were two people standing at the door, waiting. So I let us all in. We walked to the fellowship hall and set up. I texted John that the Warhammer guy was here. Casey came and I asked him to help me test the watch battery. He showed me how he does it and it was full power. So the watch is bad.

Then Saronna came for Rhythm Class. But she didn't bring any kids. So we played around with the sheet of rhythms, playing it upside down, backwards, every other line, etc. It was fun.

After she left, I went back to the fellowship hall. John and Merrick were talking about gaming. I didn't understand much, but they were having quite the time. Michele was sewing and Michelle was playing Mario. So I worked on the waistband of a pair of pants. Later people packed up and went home. Just Casey was left to walk out with me. He said he enjoyed hearing the guys talk gaming.

I went home. Chris and I talked. We dressed the bed. We watched TV. I discovered I hadn't done my blog for yesterday. So I had to write two posts.

Tabletop music stands

 

Friday

I got up at 8. I could not find my wrist brace. I got ready for the day. At 9, I went to Math Morning. Randy brought the kids. Mostly they were quiet, though I think the girls didn't do much math. I guided Jedediah in counting the chairs.

After they left, I went to get the mail. The salon was open, so I got a hair cut. The lady told me about her new job. When I got home, I prepared the sauna and steamed for 20 minutes. I showered and ate fiber gel. I read outside in the sun – longer than I meant to. I made breakfast and ate while reading e-mail.

Later we went to the commissary for groceries. I ate a blend of my yogurts. I made blue tea and peeled some eggs to go in. Some were not so good, so I ate those. I also poured some of the blue tea into another jar and added turmeric until it turned green.

Chris went to game with the guys. I heated leftovers in the toaster oven.  After supper, I met Eryne at the chapel. We cut up a tri-fold display board and made it into 4 tabletop music stands. We painted the joints with black paint and left them in a room to dry.

I went home to prepare for Game Night. I brought Michelle some greens grown in my kitchen window. We talked for a bit and I played The Lighthouse according to my notes. And then my notes on the sub ran out. I tried playing the transporter vignette, but it still wouldn't work. So I switched to Dr. Brain's Castle. I got stuck in the clock room, making only slight progress. 

Since I arrived late, Casey encouraged me to play after 11. So it was close to 11:30 when I got home. Chris was asleep so I got ready and went to bed.

No package for me

 

Thursday

I got up before 7:30, having been awake for awhile. I got ready for the day, stirring, watering, practicing, exercising, etc. I made up a week's worth of supplements. I took yogurt from the dehydrator and put it in the fridge. I checked messages. I took the yogurt to Bible Study.

They were meeting inside today. Someone had already set up a cushion for me. We shared prayer requests. We read two chapters of Genesis and discussed them. We discussed other things as well. I handed out yogurt to those who wanted it.

I stopped by the post office to check on a package that Fedex says was delivered. They needed the tracking number so I went home and called them with the number. They said it was delivered to Santaquin, which is where my address always populates to. So they called the Santaquin post office and it had already been picked up.

I ate fiber gel. I wanted to sit outside and read, but it was too windy. So I sat in my car and read. Then I came in and made breakfast while watching The Highwire. I paused it at 12:45 to go to a sign-over. The inspectors were there but waited until 1 to come in. I had the contract ready. They came in and signed it. Then I signed and then the occupants signed and gave me a key and opener. We talked a bit and I made sure the placed was locked up before I left.

I went back to The Highwire and watched until almost 3. I gathered some cleaning supplies and went back to the house to spray the bathrooms and start cleaning the kitchen. John came over later to clean things I can't reach. I quit about 6-ish and went home.

I ate the last of the fiber gel and put ox-tails in the toaster oven. I read e-mail till they were hot and ate while reading. I went to the garden to rake the leaves around, like turning compost. Then I stopped at the gas station for a fill-up. When I got home, I watched The HighwirePlus, then worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. Then I took the evening supplements and watched an episode of Call the Midwife.  I got ready for bed.

I'm upset enough for both of us

 

Wednesday

I got up on time. I prepared for Coffee Morning still wearing the wrist guard. I exercised and meditated and tapped. I expected to hear from the first quote yesterday so I turned on my phone about 11:30, but she never called. I cleaned the bathrooms and washed dishes with a plastic bag over the wrist guard. I did not use the sauna in case she might call. I did lay in the sun for awhile since it was so nice outside.

I took off the wrist guard and showered.  I ate a bag of frozen watermelon which seemed to help my wrist. I checked e-mail. I used an egg from the yellow jar and one from the orange jar to make egg salad. Sadly both eggs were yellow. And only on the outside. The color did not seep in towards the yoke.  I sewed the waistband to the pants. When I tried them on, the waistband was too big. Sigh. 

Chris came home from work. He told me that Michele was notified today that her position is an overhire and will be eliminated. I was shocked! He changed clothes and explained more about it. Then John and Michele came over to hear more and ask questions. She has until Monday to decide if she wants to take the cash buy-out or sign up for the job they are required to provide – somewhere, doing something she is qualified for. Frankly I thought she'd be more upset. I guess they are resigned.

I worked on my blog. I made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I prepared the sauna and steamed for 20 minutes. Chris was in bed when I got out. I cleaned up and showered and went to bed.

Two quotes in one day

Tuesday

I got up soon after 7:30. I got ready for the day. I watered the plants and checked the ferments. I started one for Saronna. I exercised, and put stuff away. I prepared yarrow tea and used the sauna. Then I took a shower. I checked e-mail and ate fiber gel. I watched sewing videos.

I got a call for a quote so I ran over there to meet her on Mustang. While I was examining the house, my phone rang. Someone else wanted a quote too, so I told them I'd be there in a few minutes. I gave the first quote and said I'd like to clean it before she left so she could take it to inspection. She said she'd call me tomorrow.

Then I went to the other house. They were in the process of moving out. I walked around and noticed lots of dirty things. I quoted them $550 including the yard. They thought that was a good price.

When I got home, I laid in the sun for awhile, then made and ate breakfast. Saronna texted that she was unable to play. So I kept reading e-mail and articles. Then I delivered some yogurt to her on my way to the library. I found a book by Dean Koontz, but not the one I was looking for. Still, I checked it out.

When I got home, I made some mango ice cream (frozen mango and coconut milk). After I ate it, I made some more to keep in the freezer. I put frozen watermelon on my arm. I read online for awhile. I rubbed DMSO on my arm and continued to read.

Chris came home from work. He pulled oxtails from the oven (they had been slow-roasting all day). I ate that for supper. At 7, I went to Rod's house to take pics of stuff he wants to sell. We talked for an hour. On my way home, I went by Jenni's house to see if she wanted to walk, but she wasn't home.

When I got home, Chris apologized for the oxtails being so blackened. But I thought they were ok. I checked messages and worked on my blog. My wrist was hurting so I put on the wrist guard. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds, then I watched an episode of Call the Midwife, season 13. After that, I got ready for bed, still wearing wrist guard.

New batteries were bad

 

Monday

I got up after 7:30. I took supplements and brushed my teeth. I brought in and filled the water jug. I turned on my laptop and the pop-ups were still there. They reappeared as soon as I x'ed them. There was no milk nor eggs in the cooler I left out, so I messaged the lady that delivers. I looked up pop-ups and was told to cancel permission for notifications. So I did.

I practiced and did squats. I posted for band and bells. I mended a pair of jeans.

I opened both of my watches and tested the batteries. They were dead. I tested the new ones and they were all partly discharged. I went to the WalMart website that I had ordered them from to make a complaint. But it sent me to their AI assistant who wasn't helpful. There was no listed way to contact them, so I had to Google it. I called their 1800 number and got a very nice guy with a name I can't pronounce who helped me submit a message to the seller (apparently not WalMart) to ask for a replacement.

I used blueberry juice in a pickling brine to color some blue eggs. But it turned out to be the same color as the beets. I looked up what else is blue and there is a tea that might work. I tried adding chlorella to some water to make a green egg. The green color goes away if I add vinegar so I didn't, but I don't think its gonna work well.

I ate fiber gel and laid in the sun. The lady delivered the milk and eggs. I came in and made breakfast and ate it while reading e-mail. I brought in the milk and started heating it. I worked in my sewing room and came out when I heard the temp alarm beep. I shut off the stove. I turned the oven to 180 and put washed jars and lids in there. When the milk cooled down, I added some to all the ferments in the fridge. I filled a jar and added some kimchi juice just to see what would happen. Then I heated the other half of the milk.

I made a waistband and encased elastic in it. I poured the milk into a half gallon jar and drank the bit that was left. I put all the ferments into the dehydrator. I ate the rest of the fiber gel, then ate some cold corned beef with cabbage and potatoes. Cold potatoes are a resistant starch. Chris came home from work.

Soon I had to leave for the chapel. Saronna and two of her kids got there at the same time. I got busy setting up the bells and Wilhelm helped me. Then we started playing The Sound of Silence without Keli. But then she arrived with 4 dozen eggs. We played through our hymns and other pieces. The bell players were really late and one didn't show up at all. So I dismissed the band 5 minutes early. Saronna and I went to help the bells. She wanted to play, so I directed. We all worked out the second song, much to my delight and surprise. I still think we'll need an extra practice.

They put their bells away and I cleaned up the music and the table. I took all my stuff and the remaining eggs home. I ate a pickled egg and read e-mail. Then I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. I put my ferments in the fridge. The eggs had to go in the garage to keep cool.

I read with a frozen pack on my arm. I think its tendonitis. At 11, I shut down the computer and got ready for bed.

I'll need more hymns

 

Sunday

I woke up in the dark thinking I heard Chris walking around. But then I discovered he was still in bed. It was the wind. I guess I went back to sleep. It was after 8 when we got up and found the back door slightly open. The house smelled fresh.

I watered and rinsed and stirred and practiced and mixed. I took pics of notes for the game. I wrote down instructions for colored pickled eggs. I made a batch of 3 red eggs, 2 yellow and 2 orange. Hopefully tomorrow I can work on green and blue.

I read messages and articles. I listened to the praise songs for this afternoon. I collected dead plant material from the sweet potatoes and the tomato plants. I trimmed the tomato plants and put the larger pieces in water to root. I ate fiber gel and laid outside in the sun. I came in and made breakfast. I ate what I could, then got dressed and took cheese squares to church.

At the chapel, I laid the snack in the back and picked up a bulletin. I went up front to assemble my trombone. I lost my glasses so I had to find a book to rest my feet on. When I got back from the library, Rod was sitting next to my seat. I greeted him and put my trombone together. Keli came up to start the praise songs. After singing three songs, the congregation went to greet each other. Summer told me how much her kids liked the yogurt and now she will make a gallon at a time.

Chaplain spoke on the book of Isaiah. He also talked about Holy Week and having services on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday – including hymns. I looked at Rod and he looked at me and said “this is the first you've heard of it?” So when the service was over, I asked the chaplain if he would like the band to learn some hymns for those days. Yes, yes he would. Ok then.

After helping Keli look for angel wings, I called Steve to turn on the sauna at the gym. I also texted John. I went home to finish breakfast and find some of last year's basil for Bryce who was proudly making his Nona's spaghetti sauce. But then John came over and we sat down with my character sheet to up-level it to 13. We ran out of time and I had to quickly change and pack for the sauna. John stayed long enough to update the numbers in the spells. I arrived late to the sauna, but was alone. I laid down and tried to sleep. Then Michelle arrived and we talked and sweated for awhile. It was after 4:40 when we got out and rinsed off.

I was in a hurry to drop off the basil, but Steve asked us to hold up a minute. He explained that the marines needed fans and wanted to make a post to that effect. But Michelle nixed that and said she could make some phone calls.

So I went by the chapel, let Bryce take some basil, and went home to hunt down our fan. Michelle came over to get it, but she said it was too far gone. I lent her the swap shop key so she could pick up that one. Then she left and we signed into the game.

I ate supper that Chris heated while the others signed in and began to talk. Finally we started playing. We went to a village where they were sacrificing someone's brother to a sea creature. We rescued the brother and killed the creature. We argued about what to do with the dead body. We took the brother to his sister in another city and she told us valuable information. Then we talked about what to do next.

 After the game, I put on shoes and we went to the school to meet others for walking. But the only people to show up were John and Michele. So we walked the walk with them, then went home.

I worked on my blog and made tea.  We watched an episode of Criminal Minds.  I tried researching probiotics that create butyrate, but kept getting pop-ups telling me my computer was infected and I should click the links to fix it.  I restarted my computer, but that didn't stop them.  So I shut it down and went to bed. 

Darpa created the game

 

Saturday

I got up at 8, feeling like I hadn't slept well. I started my day with the usual list of tasks. I checked my ferments. I took samples and put them in the fridge. Chris took a shower and went to the chapel but came home again to get my key because the priest forgot his. I ate blueberries and finished off a jar of yogurt, then checked e-mail. When Chris came home, I was making more breakfast mix. When I finished, he gave me a massage. Later I got in the sauna, then took a shower and got dressed. I ate fiber gel and laid out in the sun in a bathing suit.

I made and ate breakfast. I looked into pickling eggs of different colors. I read about fermenting eggs in kombucha! I went to the chapel for sewing class and discovered I didn't have my key. So I had to run home to get it from Chris. When I got back, the Clarks were right behind me. I unlocked the doors and turned on the lights. Wendy came to help. I showed the kids how to make the eggs. Jedediah made 3 of them, sewing the last one by himself (at age 4), The other kids ran home. I talked to Randy about Magic the Gathering and he said it was invented by DARPA to keep soldiers occupied on their off time.

When I got home, I read e-mail. Chris made corned beef and cabbage. I fixed four gallons of diluted LAB and poured them on my garden. At 6 I got a bowl of the beef and cabbage and just then John and Michele arrived. We ate and talked. I went to the chapel for Project Night. I waited for people to show up. Casey and Cedric were the first. Then Moira and Sophia came for Rhythm class. I had to be very flexible to get through the class. But they did well.

They left at 8. I joined Cedric and Casey. Later John and Michele came. Then Casey and Cedric went home. The rest of us conversed, then I packed up and swept the hall floor. We walked out and I got home at 9:30.

I made tea and we tried to watch Criminal Minds, but the CD was messed up. Then we dressed the bed and put away laundry. I worked on my blog. I looked again at recipes for colored pickled eggs. I copied some to my Open Office document and went to bed.

Frustrating game night

 

Friday

I got up about 7:45. Chris was getting ready to go to the office. I did the usual first of the morning things. I made yarrow tea. Then I got dressed and went to Math Morning.

I unlocked the chapel. The kids came without any math books, but they had two math games. One was like scrabble but you have to make equations rather than words. I thought it was fun but I am not sure they did.

When I got home, I drank the yarrow tea and went in the sauna for 20 minutes. I took a shower and cleaned up. I ate fiber gel then laid in the sun – it felt so good I nearly fell asleep!

I made and ate breakfast. I made a grocery list. We went to the commissary for most of it. But they didn't have corned beef. So then we went to Tooele. Chris shopped for the beef while I went to Melanie's. They were having a detox special. I got an ionic foot soak for 30minutes. Then I made a detox tea mix from a selection they had laid out. Then I got 10 minutes with Melanie who is a master herbalist. She told me about a spike protein antibody test and also an eye wash with cayenne in it that helps vision by increasing circulation.

When we got home, I laid down. Later, I checked e-mail. I put supper in the oven. While I was eating, Angelina texted me about opening the swap shop. So I went there and cleaned it up a little. Then she showed up and looked through clothing. We talked. She left with a pile of clothes and I went home.

I made two more jars of yogurt and put them in the dehydrator to cure. I ate some yogurt and had to run to the bathroom. I got ready for Game Night and jotted notes for my blog. I prepared a yogurt starter to bring along.

When I got there, Casey was still at work. So Cedric put the game up. I had notes from watching gameplay, but doing what they did didn't work. Michelle called up a walkthrough on her phone. I watched it, then did the same thing. But it still didn't work. We chatted and I got frustrated. Finally I felt I had tried everything, so I quit that game and started one called Dr. Brain's Castle. I had played it before so I knew I could do it, even if it was hard. Michelle seemed to like it too. But it was after 11, so I saved it. She showed me her back yard. She gave me some kombucha that was too vinegary for her, but I thought it was great.

I went home and found Chris asleep. So I got ready for bed and joined him.

Bible Study outside

 

Thursday

I got up at 7:45. I got ready for the day and watered the plants and practiced. I checked e-mail. I made yarrow tea.

I took some yogurt and little cups and went to the chapel. They were having Bible study outside. Wendy had an extra chair so I sat by her. We read two chapters of Genesis and discussed them. Then they had a mini party for Tarah for her birthday. I gave out yogurt to those who wanted to try it or who wanted to take some home to start their own batch. Tarah gave me some all cotton overalls that she didn't want anymore.

I went home, drank some tea and prepared the sauna. After steaming, I cleaned up and took a shower. I ate fiber gel and checked e-mail. I made breakfast and ate it while watching The Highwire. I checked e-mail again. I went to the library to make some copies of music.

Then I parked by the chapel and walked to the gym for the awards ceremony. I had to sit on the bleachers because all the chairs were full. There were lots of awards handed out. Chris wanted me to be there because two of my circle were getting awarded. After the ceremony I talked to Gary about putting Steve in charge of the garden.

I walked back to my car and drove home. I looked up instructions for the fabric egg. I made a template, chose fabric, then made egg. I found a piece of candy to put in the egg pocket and I photographed the egg in several places. I posted to Facebook for sewing class and Math Morning.

I checked e-mail and Telegram. I worked on my blog and made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I read e-mail and articles after that. I massaged some lymph points and went to bed. Chris wasn't asleep, so we cuddled for awhile. And later I had RLS, but not so bad that I had to get up.

Writing up rules

 

Wednesday

When I got up, I brushed my teeth. I harvested yogurt for starters and put them in the fridge. I prepared for coffee morning with exercises and supplements. After meditating and tapping, I cleaned the bathrooms and mopped their floors. I took some niacin and cleaned the kitchen and washed dishes. I mopped and vacuumed. I checked messages.

At 2:30, I prepared the sauna and hot yarrow tea. I steamed for 20 minutes, then cleaned up and took a shower. As the water flowed over my head, I thought about all the things that should go into the garden rules. So when I got out, I wrote them down.

I made egg salad, then went to Housing to track down the guy who wanted a quote. I ate yogurt with frozen blueberries. I wondered if the coldness froze the microbes. Chris came home from work. He said they were finalizing their document on garden rules and to send mine to his deputy. So I did.

Steve called about picking up compost this weekend. I thought he said he would lend me a truck so I went to the gym to make sure he understood that I can't drive a big truck safely. We talked about the readiness of the compost and other garden issues.

Then I went home to hydrate. I talked to Chris about the EMS vehicles I saw by the school, but he didn't know what was up. So I called Michelle and she overheard that they were checking out a gas leak.

I went to the school. I walked with the ladies and we ran in to John and Michele. So they walked with us. After the post-walk chat, I came home and worked on my blog. Then I made tea and we watched TV. After that, I spent some time online looking up stuff and finally went to bed after 11.
