Largest rhythm class yet

 

Saturday

I got up just before 8:30, hearing Chris leave for Mass. I took supplements and prepared fiber gel and chia seed. I looked at Rama walkthroughs and made notes. I played my trombone, then made up a new batch of supplements for the week.

I asked Chris for a massage. He used up the last of the coconut oil. We had some snuggle time, and he took another shower. I took my own shower and got dressed. I ate some fiber gel and read online. Then I made breakfast and ate it outside. In January! I came back in for the fruit course.

After reading messages, I walked to the post office to get mail. I found a package. I checked out the swap shop and saw a light was left on so I turned it off. When I got home, I put together what I needed for class. Then I took all that, and headed out. I stopped on the way to return the shed keys to the gentleman, but he wasn't home.

So I proceeded to the chapel. I set up three machines and laid out the sample. I cleared the bells table and put all that stuff away. Then I called Saronna to see where she was. She said they were coming. So I waited in the back of the chapel till they arrived. They came with Randy. I asked him to help me carry the table back to the fellowship hall.

Then I showed the sample and told the kids what size fabric they needed. As each one got their piece ready, I ironed scraps of fusible interfacing to cover it. Then I had them fold it in half and sew around, leaving a gap. Wilhelm had like an inch seam allowance. They all opted for ties rather than a band of elastic. I showed Wilhelm how to top stitch around it and he stayed very close to the edge this time.

Moire finished first, then Wilhelm, and Sophia took longer. I'm not sure why. Isadora came by to sit with her. After she left, I took Isadora to 615 and we cleaned for a little over an hour. I had to climb on the countertop to reach the cupboards.

When it was time to go, I took her home, then went home myself. Chris made turkey soup. I ate fiber gel and entered my VMIS hours for December. Then I had a bowl of soup.

I took my trombone and headed back to the chapel. I unlocked it and turned on the lights. Saronna and three kids were right behind me. She brought them for rhythm class. So we got drumsticks and the first rhythm sheet. We played through it one measure at a time, then several at a time. Sophia already knew how, but the others seemed to catch on.

After they left, I went to the fellowship hall to find Casey and his kids working on computers. We talked for awhile, then I sat down with a machine to fix our kingsize mattress cover. It was like trying to quilt a kingsize quilt. I was glad for the table space, but it was still difficult.

When 9 came, I started packing up. They packed up and left. I made sure the lights were out. I heard water running and turned off the faucet. Then I went home.

I threw the cover on the bed. I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Then we made the bed with clean sheets.  I sat down to write my blog post.  Later we went to bed.
