Equity Pricing

Tuesday

I got up about 7:45. I got ready for the day. I read messages online. Put on an audio and cleaned in the kitchen. Then I went out to water all the plants and level gopher mounds. I trimmed the onions and mint and tomato plants.

It was 11:30, so I started making breakfast. Chris came home early and moved the next jug of water up to the countertop so I could use it. After eating, I listened to a podcast on continuous glucose monitoring. I went to Saronna's house to practice Christmas music. Then I headed to the signing. He paid and we all signed. The inspectors left. He and I talked for some time. Even though he was leaving a bunch of cleaning supplies behind, he insisted on saying that we should contact him if we needed more money to clean the place. (It wasn't dirty).

After he left, I went home to drop off my trombone. I called Jamie to meet me at his house. Then I went to Housing to get more contracts. I parked at his house and looked through some stuff. Jamie came and we decided together what to take and what to give to the swap shop and what to save for Saronna.

I went home and logged into Zoom for the quilt guild meeting. They were doing some kind of tangram exercise. After that was the business meeting where the president presented Equity Pricing. It was an amazing presentation. So they will now have tiered pricing and people can pick which one they want to pay. Not sure that will work out so well.

Anyway, Chris came home for supper. I ate a steak. I listened to some podcasts. I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched 3 episodes of Taxi. I'm not loving it, but what else is there?  Later Chris went to bed.  I stayed up to listen to a podcast and play Solitaire.

How to Make a Sandwich

Monday

I got up hearing my 8am alarm. I brushed and swished and took supplements. I checked messages. I finished watching The Dimming (on geoengineering and the effects of nanoaluminum on the environment). Then I watched a series on How to Make a Sandwich. The man grew all the ingredients including wheat, milked the cow, killed and cleaned the chicken, pressed the sunflower seeds for oil to make the mayo, etc. Very interesting. Only took him 6 months.

I worked on my blog post. I went out to deal with gopher mounds. Still didn't catch any. Then I went to the garden. I dug up some potatoes. I watered Kenzie's peas and picked a few. When I got home, I mulched the garlic bed with hay. I put out some onions to cure. I put potatoes in a pile and the onions heads in a baggie.

I made and ate breakfast. I rinsed off the pickled eggs, beets and radishes and put them in a clean jar. I read messages and watched short videos. Denise called and we had a nice chat. I watered the tomatoes in pots with leftover whey. I mowed on the shady side. Then I chose some hymns for Sunday.

At 6 I went to chapel for band.  Keli was out of town.  We played two hymns and some Christmas songs.  I got home about 7. Chris had steaks in the oven. We ate steak and rice. I read messages and e-mail, then worked on my blog.

I made tea and we watched two episodes of Taxi. Michelle texted me that she was planning the funeral for the little girl who drowned. It will be Saturday at 1, right before sewing class. So I may have to move things around.

Afterward, Chris went to bed. I stayed up a little later to read and then I headed to bed, too.

New religious affairs assistant

Sunday

I got up late. I read some e-mail. I made cheese squares. I listened to a talk by a military man who had dreams from the Lord in which Chinese soldiers invade places in America and the people there didn't realize the danger they were in. He was quoting scriptures that he was given at each one. He said the red horse (war) is coming, This is retribution from God. In each dream, Chinese soldiers came and people greeted them as novelties, but they massacred them.

I watered the plants and leveled gopher mounds. Still nothing caught.

I made and ate breakfast, then got dressed for church. I took half the cheese squares and my trombone to the chapel. After service, I met the new religious affairs assistant and his family. They are Pentecostal.  I stayed to talk to Michelle. She was very upset about a local girl who drowned this weekend.

I went home, read messages, and changed my clothes. Chris cooked supper and then started the game: we explored the deserted kobold camp. We tracked the kobolds who were leaving for a safer place. John negotiated for half of their treasure, then we got attacked by 3 women. We ended the game there, to resume next week.

I texted Casey then gathered some tools. I invited Chris to help. So he came too. We went to the swap shop. We measured and marked the walls in the little supply room. The first wall turned out to be concrete so we switched to another wall. We put up two wire shelves with a little trouble.

When we got home, I made tea. We watched one episode of Taxi. I headed to the kitchen, then smelled something bad. It was gas from the stove. Chris opened the doors and windows to let the gas out while I hunted down some fans. One of them didn't work. I listened to The Dimming, while doing puzzles. Chris closed the doors and windows and went to bed. I posted my blog and got ready for sleep.

Making cheese

Saturday

I got up at 7:30, having had to get up several times during the night to rehydrate. I worked on the blog post about yesterday. Then I went through some Myst videos to see what I missed last night. I walked out to look for new gopher mounds and did not notice any. I did not catch any gophers either.

Chris gave me a massage, then we each took our shower. I covered a selection of nuts in hot water. I used half a gallon of goat milk to make vinegar cheese for Michelle. Then I started a half gallon of goat milk for fermented cheese.

I made breakfast, then read messages and articles. I dissolved rennet in some water and added it to the milk. At 2 I went to Keli's RV and cleaned for 2 hours. It took longer because she left a list. When I got home, I hydrated, then separated the curds from the whey of the fermented cheese.

I helped Chris fold laundry, then went to the garden. I watered Kenzie's peas. I planted 4 fists of garlic which only made one zigzag row. I wrapped up the watermelon in netting so critters don't eat it. I put out a dish of water for them. Then I went to Jenni's house. I watered in front and out back and changed the water in the bucket trap.

Chris had supper ready, so we ate. I read and listened to a podcast on health. I put away supper, and worked on my blog. Then I took the vinegar cheese to Michelle's house for a second game night. We talked about things to be ordered.

 I worked on the same things as last night. I was able to jump the rock wall but could find nothing else to do after that. In another world, I could not jump down at at place where I know I have jumped down before.

At 11, I shut down the game. I thanked them and went home. Chris was asleep. I got ready for bed and hit the hay.

cleaning at the swap shop

Friday

I got up at 8:45, rushed to get dressed, etc., then went to the chapel for Math Morning. Casey and the Clarks came. As usual, the kids did not want to work on math. Saronna talked about picking up furniture from a house on 1^st street. So I asked if she could get the vacuum someone left by a dumpster on 2^nd. I wanted it for the swap shop. She said she had other stuff for the swap shop, too.

After Math Morning, I went to the swap shop to clean the sewing machine and the microwave. Saronna came with bags of clothes and the vacuum. It worked. She made her kids hang up all the clothes they brought before they could pick out stuff to bring home. While they were occupied, I wiped down a box of DVD's and Game discs. I threw out the empty cases. I left with some movies, home copies of movies, and 2 power packs.

I went home for breakfast and plugged in the power banks. I watered the outdoor plants. After breakfast, we went to the commissary. We saw the chaplain and talked to him. We shopped and took the food home to put away.

Then we went to Tooele. While Chris shopped at Luckey's, I talked to the CBD man and he convinced me to buy his sleep gelcaps. I also talked to Melanie. Afterward, we went to Macey's, then back to base.

I picked some greens and hot peppers for Michelle. I dealt with some gopher mounds and baited traps with hot peppers. I picked greens for Chris to cook. He accidentally knocked over my pill minder, spilling most of it. I had to separate them all by color and size and figure out where they go.

I plugged my phones into the power banks to see if they work. The phones got recharged. But the large power bank did not fully recharge itself. After supper, I read messages, then worked on two blog posts since I didn't get to post last night. I put together stuff for Game Night, and headed out to the Cleggs.

When I got there, I showed them a pic of a potato I dug up. They thought it was hilarious, so apparently I wasn't imagining what it resembled. Casey had the game up so I started playing. Michelle told me about her day. She helped me find items I needed online.

I went through the game books one by one, getting frustrated in each world. I didn't have the notes I took two weeks ago. Finally, I turned it off at 11. Michelle gave me some goat milk and invited me back tomorrow for the game night I missed last weekend.

When I got home, Chris was asleep. I got ready for bed, then read a few messages before turning in.

Drinking and talking

Thursday

I got up around 8. I got ready for the day. I checked messages, then took my Bible and went to the chapel for Bible study. We read several chapters of Matthew. Then the leader had an appointment to go to.

I went home and made a batch of breakfast mix. I worked on choosing Christmas songs and picking the best version of 4 sources. Then I started making breakfast. Chris came home for lunch. I watched The Highwire which ran for over 2 hours.

I went to the garden around 4. I fixed the irrigation system to the peach trees. I picked most of my green tomatoes because something had pulled off several big ones and partially chewed them. Then I went to Jenni's house to water her plants. I picked her red cherry tomatoes. Finally I went to library to make copies from two of the four sources. Melissa and I had a nice chat.

I went home for supper. I posted to Facebook for Math Morning. I went out to mow and came in when it got dark. Chris was on the phone with Michele and John. He was also drinking wine. It made him very talkative. So after the call, he kept talking. No military secrets or anything, but he loved everybody. In fact, he talked till 1am, all the while insisting that he is the same whether he is drinking or not. Then I had a hard time getting to sleep. Sigh.

Update horks my laptop

Wednesday

I got up when I heard my alarm go off. I checked messages, then prepared for coffee morning. I watered the indoor plants. I read for half an hour. I tapped and meditated. Then I started cleaning. I washed dishes. Chris came home just as I was about to mop the kitchen floor. So I vacuumed carpeted rooms instead and emptied the vacuum cups. Then I mopped the floor.

I wrestled with the computer to read messages. It had updated and now everything works differently. I called the bank. I showered and got dressed. I watered the outdoor plants, then went to Saronna's house to play Christmas music and narrow down our choices. We talked as much as we played. We talked about cats and booing people. The kids came home from school. Then she got a phone call so I left.

I went home and my computer was unstuck. I jotted notes for my blog. I went through the loose music to organize it somehow. Michelle texted me so I texted back, it was about opening the swap shop for someone who posted on Facebook.

I went out to deal with gopher mounds. I found one trap where the peanutbutter was eaten and the trap was buried, but not sprung. I also watered the newly-planted garlic. Then I walked to the swap shop. Michelle was not far behind. She had some bags of clothes to donate. Then another lady came with help and they donated a bunch of stuff including a sewing machine and a microwave, but both were filthy.

Afterward, Michelle and I went for a long walk and she told me all the new developments in her life. Quite a few! She drove me home and we kept talking. Finally we finished. I went inside where Chris was on his laptop because Mass was canceled.

I mowed the back yard and part of the front yard. I plugged in the battery to recharge. I got on my computer to look up amortization schedules. The laptop was horked up. Certain things did not work, like the calculator and the sound bar. Chris told me to reboot it. I looked up how to uninstall Copilot, the Microsoft AI which it installed at some point. The directions said to run Powershell, but the bottom search bar didn't work. Chris got a drop-down menu to appear and I clicked on Powershell, then copy pasted the suggested info. Gobbeldygook came up and it seemed to be saying unauthorized. Copilot was still there, but for some reason everything was working.

I spent time comparing amortization schedules, then I worked on my blog, and made tea. We watched episodes of Taxi. Chris went to bed and I stayed up to read messages.
