The situation

Wednesday

I got up late. I prepared for coffee morning. I meditated and tapped. I added H2 to the line-up, and listened to the CD's.

Chris came home for lunch with a package of supplements and flax/chia seeds. I cleaned in the kitchen and bathrooms. Brian called to chat. I got a text from the CSM that she needed an embroidered star on a flag fixed.

I vacuumed. I soaked my feet in epsom salts while reading a book. I took a shower, dressed and put on walking shoes. I walked with the other three ladies. Michelle told me about a problem she had and didn't know who to tell. I went to Headquarters and met the CSM. She gave me a flag with an incomplete star on it. I took it home to fix. I walked by Chris' office on the way in and on the way out, but he never noticed.

I read Telegram messages while listening to This Week with Mary and Polly. When Chris came home, I discussed Michelle's situation with him, and whether or not I am attending some function tomorrow. Then I made tea and we watched four episodes of Gomer Pyle. He went to bed soon after and I stayed up to listen to a commentary.

Vinegar and eggshellls

Tuesday

I got up late. After the usual morning routine, I took the roasted egg shells from the oven and put them in a baggie. Some went into a jar which I filled with distilled vinegar. I left them sit and the concoction frothed as the vinegar released minerals from the shells. The froth died back after awhile. The directions say to leave it sit for a week.

I read news articles. I came across a recipe for flax bread, which I want to try when my flax order comes in. I made and ate breakfast. Chris came home and put chicken in the oven at a low temperature.

I rested my right wrist on a bag of frozen lentils. I rubbed pineapple peel on my arm and forgot to wash it off. But it didn't make the skin on my arm look any better, which it did do on my face.

At 2:30 I went to Saronna's house with some egg white muffins leftover from Sunday. We played music and she took breaks to tend to the kids. Wyatt came over after school. He did a good job on the B flat scale.

When I got home, Jamie rescheduled our meeting so she could concentrate on swap shop items for the Ukraine refugees. I did more research online. I ate fruit, then Chris came home and pulled the chicken out. He said Faye wanted me to call her. He cooked mushrooms while I chatted with her. Then I called Kurt to tell him her news. Chris warmed up rice in the mushroom juice. I made tea and we watched four episodes of Gomer Pyle. We both stayed up. I went to bed first, and Chris stayed up to write an e-mail.

Another carton of eggs

Monday

I did not want to get up. My inner world seemed so much safer than the outer world. But eventually I did. After the usual first morning stuff, I read articles. One article explained that during Prohibition, the federal gov't ordered the poisoning of industrial alcohols, products stolen by bootleggers and resold as drinkable alcohol. This program killed at least 10,000 people in it's effort to get people to stop drinking.

Around noon I made breakfast. I watched a video on using a refractometer to find brix number. He also mentioned soaking egg shells in vinegar to get the nutrients out. Then somehow I was looking at FPJ, or fermented plant juice, which is part of KNF, or Korean Natural Farming.

LAB: 1 cup fermented rice water to 4 cups raw milk. Add 2-3 T raw sugar or molasses to keep for 15 days. 1Ml of LAB to 1 liter of water as seed soak. Drench soil in winter.

I noticed my mobile data was turned on, again. I keep it off so I wonder how it gets turned on. What else is getting turned on?

CJ came by with a carton of eggs. She took the bag of empty egg boxes that I left on the door. But she did not ring the doorbell, so when I spotted her, I had to run out with cash to pay her. We had a short conversation.

I put on walking shoes and went to the school. I walked with Diane, Jenni, and Michelle. We paired up for chatting purposes. Afterward, Diane went back to work and the remaining three chatted. Then Michelle went home and I went into Jenni's house to see her plants. I offered her a pineapple top once it roots and she accepted.

When I got home, I whipped up a batch of seed crackers with the new eggs. I made more ingredient mixes for the seed cracker box. I also refilled some of the containers in the breakfast box. I arranged egg shells on a baking sheet and put it in the oven with the seed crackers. I hardboiled most of the remaining older eggs. Jamie called and wanted to meet tomorrow afternoon. Chris came home from work. He wanted to take me to the community club to eat since they bought extra food for people who are here temporarily. But then that fell through. So I made a salad and ate the eggs that cracked during boiling.

I read articles and listened to some videos while piecing puzzles. I also jotted notes to my blog. After posting for yesterday, I made tea. We watched Christmas in Connecticut, courtesy of Netflix. After a bit, Chris went to bed and I stayed up to finish watching something.

Egg white muffins

Sunday

I got up late. I read e-mail while resting my right wrist on a bag of frozen lentils. I made more green mix. I fixed breakfast and listened to an interview on soil health.

I got dressed for church (with my left hand). I put a few egg white muffins in a container. Saronna and Diane said they weren't coming so I figured it would just be Jenni and me. I arrived early, and the guest pastor wasn't there. I gave a muffin to the chaplain's assistant and he really liked it. Then the pastor arrived, but he didn't want to eat before the sermon. Diane came with her whole family. She and her husband each ate a muffin. Then Michelle and her family came. I wished I could run home for more.

We all sat down for prayer, stood for singing, then sat for the sermon. Afterward, there were 4 muffins left: the pastor got two and Jenni and her husband each got one. As long as the pastor got some, I was happy. We agreed to meet at the gym at 4:30.

I went home and changed my clothes. I put on my bathing suit and sat out in the sun, reading the book on uric acid. When my skin turned pink, I came in and read in a chair. I checked some e-mail, then got ready for the gym.

I got there a little late, just as Jenni drove up. Diane was waiting inside. We worked out in the second room. Michelle came and she worked on the machines in the first room. After half an hour they went to the sauna. I got my gym bag and joined them. We had a nice chat in the heat. We continued to chat after getting out of the sauna, at which point Heather went in. I left a muffin for Heather.

I stayed late to chat with the lady at the desk. Then I went home. I ate leftover fruit and such. I washed a napa cabbage and put it in the leftover kimchi juice. I read e-mail and listened to Dr. Berg videos. I made tea and we watched four episodes of Gomer Pyle. I rested my wrist on a bag of frozen lentils again. I got dressed for bed, then read e-mail for awhile. Chris went to bed soon after TV, but I stayed up till 11:30.

The greenhouse

Saturday

I got up around 8. I prepared for the day and read e-mail. At 10 Chris gave me a coconut oil massage. I took a shower and got dressed. I wrote a check to the church.

I went to the swap shop. A group of people were there with mostly kid stuff. They were moving in a day or two, but hung around to look at things. Jamie arrived before they left. Then she went home for more bags. She was collecting things for Ukrainian refugees. When she got back, we sat in the coat room and tapped together. Around 12:30, we finished up. She wanted the swap shop keys so I handed them over. I went home for breakfast.

I talked to Faye to find out when her mastectomy will be, but it isn't scheduled yet.

Chris put a sewing machine in my trunk and followed me to the chapel. I set up for sewing class. No one came, so I cleaned in the kitchen. The stainless steel fridge was hard to clean spotlessly. Diane texted that she was coming over for rocks.

I went home and collected rocks from various places around the yard. Diane came over with 5-gallon buckets. We half-filled them with rocks I have collected from gopher mounds. We went to the greenhouse by the garden. (One of the gardens was planted already! ) She had cleaned it up and covered the floor with red mulch. We made a rock path. I donated a shower curtain from the last apartment to cover the gardening table. We went back to my house for more rocks. After spreading them, she took me home. She gave me a package of strawberry starts.

Jenni texted about walking, so I suggested in 10 minutes. I put on my shoes and drank tea. I showed up at her house and we walked around the school block. I brought a plastic bag for picking up trash. I was surprised how much there was considering I had just done it a few days ago.

When I got home, I made a salad and read e-mail. I ate pineapple and noticed my mouth was bleeding. I checked online, and found out that bromelain digests protein, which is what the inside of my mouth is made of. Then I looked up pineapple facials, hair tonic. I rubbed pineapple peels on my face. I wondered if it would be good for that itch. But if it digests protein, it would break down my hairs.

I wrote down the events of the day. We watched four episodes of Gomer Pyle. Chris gets such a kick out of it. Then I read e-mail while Chris warmed up the sheets. I listened to an interview on soil. I expected to help him make the bed, but he did it on his own because my right hand is hurting. We both stayed up late, then went to bed.

Iridology

Friday

I got up before 7:30 to watch episode 12 of Covid Secrets plus the bonus episode. It was over 3 hours worth of content, but I discovered the player had an option to play it at 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, and 2x. That allowed me to go through it faster. Jamie called and wants to meet tomorrow. I had breakfast made by 10 and finished eating by 11. I also dressed and made a shopping list.

Chris had gone to work and the commissary and was back just in time for us to go to Tooele at 11. We listened to the book on CD along the way. We stopped at the bank to cash a check, then went to Melanie's. Chris dropped me off and went shopping by himself. I sat with Melanie for an iridology appointment.

She took close-up pics of my eyes, both pupils and whites. Then she had me fill out an intake form while she examined the pictures and made notes, frequently referring to a book. When I was done, she explained what iridology was and my results. We had a very nice discussion and then she gave me the three things I most need to look out for.

I shopped in the store, then checked out. With points, I bought a cheese snack. I went out to the car where Chris was waiting. We shared the snack on the way home, listening to the CD.

We stopped at the post office, then went to the house to unload groceries. Chris put most of them away. I checked e-mail, and answered texts from Michelle. We agreed to meet at the gym for a workout. I went outside to disburse gopher mounds and collect the stones for Diane. Then I prepped a sauna bag and headed to the gym.

When I got to the gym, none of the ladies were there. Thinking they were just late, I went to the cardio room to use some of the machines. Still no one showed. Afterwards, I went to the car for my sauna bag. I turned on the sauna and put on a suit. I sat some and stretched a little. Finally near the end, Heather came in. We had a nice chat before the gym closed and we had to leave.

When I got home, I ate some leftover veggies for supper. I read articles and listened to some podcasts. I made tea. We watched four episodes of Gomer Pyle. Chris went to bed and I stayed up to write to my blog, and put instructional pics on my phone.

One way to get rid of tumbleweeds

Thursday

I got up late because it was overcast and the daylight looked to be earlier. I rinsed and brushed. I resumed listening to the QnA. Phosphoric acid (Phosfood) and A-C carbomide are good for kidneys. He called out the leadership of the Catholic church for their 'social justice' program and for changing the catechism to eliminate the second commandment.

I ate a spoonful of coconut oil to see if I digest fats well. It was somewhat problematic. I made breakfast, and ate while watching The Highwire:

There are 10 new bills in Cal. pushing lockdowns and passports. The FDA is approving booster shots without going through their advisory committee. There are 2 protests coming up: VisforVaccine, and DefeattheMandates.

Chris came home for lunch, and put fish in the oven. I read outside in the sunshine. I listened to This Week with Mary and Polly. I took fish out of the oven at 3:15. I put on my shoes and went walking with Diane and Jenni. I took a plastic bag for collecting litter. That's how I found a patch. It had velcro on the back and numbers on the front. They told me to give it to my husband. So after the walk, I drove to Chris' office. I gave the patch to Charity who was training the new office manager. She was going to give it to the police.

I went home and read more articles. Chris came home with pizza. After supper he went to watch the controlled burn of tumbleweeds. I could see it at a distance from our house, both the flame and the smoke.

I wanted to go but I had 'homework'. I looked through all my files for a good project for Saturday. I couldn't choose between a basket or a hat. I decided on the hat because I found the right fabric for it. I pulled several fabrics for the project and posted a pic and write-up to the Dugway Facebook page. Then I worked on my blog.

It was dark, but Chris wasn't back yet. I made tea. It was upwards of 9 when Chris came back. He drove me down the street for a better view of the fire. He showed me a pic of a rabbit that ran out of the flames (and died).

We watched 4 episodes of Cheers. I got very sleepy so I went right to bed. Chris stayed up for a little bit, then came to bed. I had trouble falling asleep, so we snuggled. But the hot flashes put an end to that.
