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.
