3D printing and the final shampoo

 

Saturday

I got up late. I did everything on the morning list. I turned on my phone and saw the class reminder that Keli programmed. It looked like it should have sound, but it didn't. I had to swipe it as acknowledgement in order to use the phone.

I got dressed and went to the 3D printing class. Attendance was low. We discussed supports and slicing and picking options. Mindy tried to create the fibonacci spiral I was looking for. Then she found it on the Bambu website. She sent it to her home printer and we got to see it get started.3D

I stopped at the post office on the way home. At home, I ate fiber gel, then read outside. I made and ate breakfast. I packed a bucket of cleaners and went to Tina's house.

I gave her some yogurt and we chatted. I cleaned her bathrooms and we chatted some more. She showed me some quilted stuff she had made before the incident.

I went home, ate fiber gel, and heated supper. I watched a long video on natural treatments for common ailments. I cleared the last two corners of the bedroom and shampooed them. I jotted notes for my blog, then went to the chapel for Project Night.

At first I was alone in the chapel, then Jenni came. So we got out a sewing machine. She was finishing the grocery tote and I was mending two pairs of Chris' pants. Then Casey and Cedric arrived. One played a game and the other was fixing his laptop. Then Casey went home for screw drivers and came back with a pair of shoes that Michele might like.

After Project Night, Jenni called Dispatch to open the gym. She and I and Michelle went to the gym to wait for the police to open it. Then I ran off to feed the cat. I came back to the gym just as the police were leaving. Erynne joined us. We sweated and talked in the sauna for over an hour. Then I rinsed off. I went home and put the bedroom back together since the carpet was dry. I posted two blogs and went to bed.

** I forgot to post for Talent Night.  Michelle sent me video as well, but I can't seem to download that from Facebook.   **

Day 3, also Baby Shower

 

Friday

I got up late after having RLS. I went through the morning list. Then I went to the chapel for Math Morning – no one came. So at 10, I went home, stopping to check for mail. When I got home, I prepared and completed a steam session. I read outside, then made and ate breakfast.

I shampooed another corner of the bedroom, then went to commissary and brought home groceries. I opened the box that Chris said had a nursing drape in it. It was a set of bottles for a breast pump. I found a gift bag to put it in and a card. I looked up what to write in it.

At 6 I went to the baby shower at the Colonel's house. I think we had more people than expected. The colonel's wife made enough food for everybody. We ate and talked. Then the games started. She put baby food in diapers and we were supposed to guess what the flavors were. Most of us just sniffed the diapers, but some were willing to taste it. There were some paper and pencil games, then we tore off strips of toilet paper as a guess of Janet's circumference. I used my own girth as a guess and it was too long! After we all tried to guess her weight, I bid them goodnight and left the party.

I stopped at Michele's house to feed the cat. I refilled the water bowl and scooped the litter box. Then I went home to prepare for game night.

I took some sprouts to Michelle's house. She wasn't home yet. I played the Indiana Jones till it crashed. I will have to look up the keyboard short cuts so I don't have to go through all the keys to try to figure out what they do. Then I played The Lighthouse and maybe made some progress.

Michelle came back from a ranch where she watch cows being roped, castrated, innoculated, and tagged. It sounded pretty brutal. We talked and I was late getting home. So I went to bed without blogging.

Shampooing carpets - Day 2 (and Talent Night)

 

Thursday

I woke up early in faint daylight to use the bathroom. I hoped to go back to sleep but it didn't happen. I got up soon after 7. I used my list of morning things and got it all done and thought of more. I also vacuumed the bedroom and moved some stuff so I could shampoo in the corner.

I pulled jars of yogurt from the fridge and one dropped. Sadly it was one of my best jars, which are squat and stackable. Glass and yogurt everywhere and me in bare feet. But I cleaned it up. Then got ready for Bible Study.

I went to the chapel and three ladies were waiting for me to open the door. We went in and sat for study. Then Erynne showed up while we were reading the 24^th chapter of Genesis.

Afterward, I went home to shampoo some more. I taped red film to the window so it will be dark at night. I went to help clean at the swap shop. I went home to make breakfast and watch The Highwire. I took a break to lay in the sun when it came out. Then I fimished watching The Highwire.

To replace the spilled yogurt, I used whipping cream because I was out of milk. I innoculated the cream with probiotic capsules. I added the remaining cream to other ferments. I made tea for kombucha. I went to chapel to help move stands to the club, but the stands and stuff had already been carried out. So I went home and shampooed some more. I also cleaned my trombone slide.

I got dressed in jeans and a t-shirt as the members of the band agreed. I went to the club. The other band members were there. We got ready to play. But first there were two Mexican dances. Then we played Everybody Wants to be a Cat while wearing headbands with cat ears. We also played Get Me to the Church on Time with the chaplain singing and wearing a suit and top hat. He also did impressions of Archie and Edith Bunker, a handful of presidents, and some Dugway people. The band played again, then someone sang a song in Spanish. We sang Happy Birthday to Elizabeth, our new violin player. After that, it was karaoke until 8 and we packed up. I helped put stands in Keli's truck. Others carried the keyboard. Chaplain and I followed her to the chapel and helped her unload.

I went home, put leftovers in the toaster oven. I watered the plants and changed clothes. I picked up the bedroom. I viewed the pictures that Michelle took tonight of the band. I took a book and went to Michele's house to feed their cat. I came home and watched Call the Midwife. Then I posted to my blog and got ready for bed.

Shampooing carpets - Day 1

Wednesday

I got up after the 7:30 alarm. No RLS during the night. I prepared for Meditation Morning with exercises and swishing. Then I meditated and tapped for over an hour. Chris stopped by to get his laptop before heading to the airport with John and Michele.

Just as I was finishing, I got a sudden intense headache. Thinking it could be a stroke, I talked to myself out loud to see if my speech was slurry. It wasn't and I had no balance or vision problems. After a while, it subsided and eventually went away.

I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. I washed dishes. I vacuumed and shampooed the carpet in the den and livingroom. Then I sat for a steam session. Afterwards, I showered and read a book. I didn't mean to finish it, but I did, around 6:30. So I went to the library to check out another book and chat. I also stopped at the post office for a package and at the chapel to get my CD player.

I vacuumed the hallway. I put 5 kinds of yogurt in a bowl. I ate while reading the new book. Kurt started texting me. Jenni came over for a walk. So I put on a jacket and we walked around my neighborhood and conversed. After she went home, I checked e-mail and deleted over a hundred. I looked up a product called Tro+ Somna. But it had polyethylene glycol in it.

I worked on my blog. I vacuumed the hallway. I watched an episode of Call the Midwife. I got ready for bed, then shampooed the hallway all the way up to the bedroom. I went to bed, and thought of more things I should have done but I didn't want to walk on the wet carpet.

Apologizing profusely

 

Tuesday,

I was up by 8. No RLS. I went through my usual morning routine. I ate fiber gel, then put cleaners and a CD player in my car. I dropped the CD player off at the chapel, then went cleaning for 90 minutes. Michele texted asking if I can feed their cat while they are gone.

I came home. I made breakfast and ate part of it outside. It was too windy to wear a bathing suit. At 2, I went to Saronna's house with yogurt, then came back for my trombone and music. I went back. Sophia had made cat ear head bands. So we wore them while we practiced.

At 3, I went back to cleaning. Isadora came over to do the bathroom. While I was dusting, I broke a glass. When I got home, I texted her the final cost and said she could take off the price of the glass. But she replied that it was a cheap set from WalMart and not to worry about it.

I ate fiber gel and heated supper in the toaster oven. Chris laid down on the couch and went to sleep. Jenni came to trade for 20's. I started another batch of sprouts. I made tea and woke up Chris. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I showed him a boo-boo that seemed to suddenly appear on my leg.  I wondered if it was a bite, but he said no.  I retired to my laptop. He went to bed. Later, so did I.

He lost his head

 

Monday

I got up at 7:30, having battled RLS again. I went through most of my morning routine.

I ate lots of yogurts, taking samples and then emptying the jars which I washed and put in the oven to sterilize. I planted 2 sprouted cabbage heels. I looked all over for leftover headbands from a previous Easter project with no luck.

I changed clothes and went to ACS for the volunteer luncheon. Chris and Michele came. Several volunteers were missing. Miss Emily said nice things and passed out goodies to each of us. We also got a certificate and a picture was taken. After the luncheon, I went to the library to check out a book. I stopped at the post office on the way home and picked up a large box of teas.

I brought in the milk and eggs. I pasteurized the milk and put it in jars. I added the yougurt samples and left them in the dehydrator to ferment. I laid in the sun and read from the book.

I unwrapped the gopher that was in a trap. I released the body. It was a nice specimen. I cut off his head and threw the body where the birds could get it. I put the head in bleach water to clean the skull.

I picked hymns for Sunday and put away previous selections. I went to the library to make copies. I taped the music pages together.

I redressed and went to band. We played through the hymns for Sunday and the songs for Talent Night. Chaplain does really good imitations. He asked for a CD player. When I got home, I put the CD player where Chris would take it to work for the chaplain. I ate mushrooms and ham soup.

I went mowing down the street and across my front lawn. I checked the ferments, took some out of the dehydrator and put others in. I worked on my blog. I made tea, then we watched Criminal Minds. I looked up actors, then looked for refill supplements. Finally I went to bed.

Dinner with the Germans

 

Sunday

I got up after 8, thinking it was later, but having slept well. I went through my morning routine. Chris gave me a massage. He took his shower while I had a steam session. Then I showered. I ate fiber gel, used the red light for 15 minutes. I read articles online, then laid in the sun. I forgot to make up supplements for the week. I made and ate breakfast without them, then got dressed for church. I took the cheese squares with me.

The service started with praise songs, a prayer for the offering, two scripture readings, and the sermon. Then the band played two hymns. Afterward, people stood around and chatted. A few people ate cheese squares, but there were still some to take home. Jenni and I agreed to walk at 3.

I went home. I read online even though I should have been parsing supplements. I changed clothes and ate several kinds of yogurt. I met Jenni at the school and we walked almost a mile. Then I went home.

Again, I read online. I started playing Solitaire, hoping to get to the next victory image. At 5:30, Chris was ready to go, but we determined that the dinner started at 6. I changed clothes again. I took pear leaves from the dehydrator and put them in a baggie. I started parsing supplements.

At 6 we went to the LDS church off post. They were having a Mexican dinner for the German army and people from Dugway attended. We sat with Jenni. Michelle put on the party so she opened it, then let a man speak to the army in German. His wife said the prayer. Michelle invited the Germans to go first in line, since in their country the soldiers eat last. Eventually civilians got in line. Our plates were filled with food as we went down the line. Then we sat to eat and talk. Chris went over to another table to chat with them. Other people came to my table to chat with me. Eventually people started leaving. Chris introduced me to a few people and then we left.

When we got home, I took some charcoal capsules. I finished the supplements. We made the bed with clean sheets and put away the laundry. I worked on my blog and made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I did a deep dive on something, then went to bed.
