Sauna and swap shop

 

Sunday

I got up at 9, having slept really well. I took supplement and did my squats. I practiced the hymns for today. I picked a splinter out of my foot. I picked up a pillowcase to mend, then realized there was dark thread on the machine so I mended a pair of his pants first. He came in then and asked if I wanted a massage, and I did.

After the massage, he took his shower and I took mine. I ate fiber gel, then made cheese squares with the bacon he pulled out of the oven. I made and ate breakfast. I got dressed, sliced up the cheese squares and put them in a container.

I went to church, and left the snack in the back. I worked with Keli on the hymns because she didn't know either of them. Then I assembled my trombone and sat down.

We sang three praise songs. There was a sermon about scriptures referring to the holy spirit. The band played two hymns, and then the chaplain gave out communion.

I talked to people, then went to the gym to turn on the sauna. On my way home, I unlocked the swap shop for Samantha.

When I got home, I read e-mail, ate nuts, and put on my bathing suit. I packed my sauna bag with a towel and two bottles of water. When I got to the gym, I found Michelle already in the sauna. We started talking. Janet joined us. The three of us talked and sweated for some time. Janet went home. Michelle and I stayed a little later, then got out and showered. We kept talking. We walked outside. She gave me a bag of jars. I went to the swap shop to lock up. I ran into a police officer who had just found the doors open and had locked them. We chatted and I went home.

I changed out of my wet suit. I hung up the towel and signed into the game. I ate fiber gel and chatted along with the others. Then I ate supper as we played the game. The GM threw a battalion or more of skeletons at us and we fought them for several hours. Then everyone signed out. Chris put supper away. I had been working on VMIS during the game and continued afterward for another half hour.

I posted to my blog and made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I put away a stack of laundry. We dressed the bed with clean sheets. We read on our laptops, then we went to bed.

Well-attended Project Night

 

Saturday

I got up at 8. I took supplements and practiced. Chris took a shower and went to Mass. I scanned some hymns for tomorrow and cleaned up the copy, then printed them out. Sounds simple, but with 20 year old equipment, it wasn't.

I went to the swap shop to open it for someone, then left to go clean at 650 for two hours. Then I went home to eat fiber gel, shower, and sit outside and read. Then I made and ate breakfast. I watched videos on cleaning fiberglass bathtubs and a video on a walkthrough of the game.

At nearly 3, I went back to lock the swap shop. I had to unblock a door that people had put stuff in front of. I also brought a toilet brush to clean pet hair off of a padded bench. But apparently someone already took it – as is. Then I went to 650 to clean the tubs like I'd seen on the videos, and mop floors. After two hours, I went home.

I ate fiber gel and read messages. I worked on my blog. I ate supper and read messages. Then I collected some spools of cotton thread and my two projects in a bag. I brought my sewing bag and my trombone to the chapel for Project Night.

I left my trombone upfront and went to the fellowship hall to get started. Michele and John came. Then Michelle brought Isadora. Casey came with Cedric and Anca came with her two little girls. Anca wanted to change the sleeves on a dress. Her two little girls asked for fabric to make little things. Casey set up Mario so Michelle could play. John worked on figs while Michele did something that didn't last long. Then she laid on a table and watched Michelle play. I cut and re-sewed a dress that came in the mail.

John and Michele left. Anca finished taking off the sleeves and they left. I packed up by 9, then Casey left and Michelle walked out with me. We agreed to go to the dry sauna tomorrow.

I went home. I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Then I added to my blog post for today and posted for yesterday. I was so tired, that I skipped the sauna and went to bed.

Trying a new game

 

Friday

I got up after 8. I got ready for the day, but there wasn't time to practice. I went to the chapel for Math Morning. Randy brought his four kids. They each had a book or worksheets. I mostly worked with Moira. Keeping them quiet and on task was not easy. I kept them a little after 10 to finish the problems they were working on. Then I dismissed them and we turned off the lights and locked up.

I went to 650 to clean for 90 minutes. I did baseboards and vacuumed walls. I also scrubbed tub walls. Then I went home to have fiber gel and read outside for 20 minutes. It looked to be about 50 degrees, which seemed warm compared to the teens in the morning.

I made breakfast and ate while looking up how to clean gray off of toilets, then verdigris off of trombones. Chris had a meeting online, then we went to get gas, fill two water bottles, and get food from the commissary.

Following that, Chris drove us in to Tooele and I slept on the way. Yay! We shopped at Luckeys. Melanie's and Maceys. Melanie's didn't have much of what I was looking for. And we drove back to base.

I ate fiber gel and made a supplement order. I read e-mail, then put eggs and cheese in the toaster oven for supper. I looked at niacin/sauna detoxes and took notes. I made a supplement order. I worked on my blog. I prepared for Game Night.

I went to Michelle's house. She and I talked while Casey queued up the game: The Lighthouse. We continued to talk for some time, and then I started to play. There was no game to load, so I had to wait through the opening sequences. I saved it when I got to the lighthouse. I didn't know what I was doing, but I looked in each room and picked up whatever I could. I went in the baby's room and saw the dark being take the child. I followed him through the portal, but ended up back in the bedroom for some reason.

I looked through a desk and found a puzzle box. I opened it and wasn't sure what to do with the puzzle inside. Casey, Michelle and I worked on the combination to the safe and were able to extract a bunch of sheets. I started reading them, then realized it was after 11. So I shut the game down and we talked some more. Finally I went home.

Chris was still up and we were both tired, so we just went to bed.

Focused on cleaning

 

Thursday

I got up after 8. I exercised and practiced, etc. I went to Bible study. We read and discussed two chapters of Genesis. Then I went cleaning at 650 till noon.

I went home to eat fiber gel and read outside. I made breakfast and watched The Highwire. I went back to 650, and cleaned upstairs till 5:30.

On my way home, I stopped by to Housing to return Jamie's garage opener.  I also went to 403 to put stuff on the oil spots in garage. When I got home, I ate the rest of the fiber gel and heated supper. I peeled the last of the eggs and put them in pickling juice. I steamed two more batches of eggs.

I rebooted my computer and finished watching some videos. I worked on my blog, then made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I looked up some actors, then prepared the steam sauna. I used it with a stack of towels to wipe sweat with, and listening to a CD. Then I went to bed.

Signing for the next house

 

Wednesday

I got up after 7:30. I prepared for coffee morning. I exercised and drybrushed and read with a red light. I meditated and tapped and prayed. I cleaned the bathrooms and the kitchen. I washed the dishes. I vacuumed the carpets and mopped the tile floors. I read outside till it got windy, then took a shower and got dressed.

I went to 403 for a quote. I was dismayed to see fresh oil spots on the garage floor. The rest of the house wasn't very dirty so I quoted him $300. Signover was in 45 minutes so I went to 650 to get some cleaners and to the post office. I went home for a supplement, then back to 403 for the signover.

When I got there, the lady I gave the honey to yesterday was there and she returned it with thanks. I thanked her for asking. Then Bobbie showed up. We all went in the house for the sign-over. They left and I stayed long enough to get the tub and the toilet soaking.

I stopped by Housing to return the garage opener for Jamie's house, but the door was locked and no one answered. So I went to 650 to finish the kitchen and dining room. I also did most of the livingroom walls and baseboards.

I went home and made egg salad. I read e-mail and messages. I tried to play Wordle but kept running into paywalls. I called Chris and we chatted for a bit, then I watched an episode of Call the Midwife. I rubbed my hands with coconut oil. I worked on my blog. Then I prepared the sauna again. After my sauna session, I went to bed, but it still took a long time to fall asleep.

Power outages, but no snow

 

Tuesday

I got up at 8am. I did squats, practiced, then parsed supplements. The power went out, so I washed dishes. It was scheduled but the base generators were supposed to kick in right away.

 When the power came back on, I went to 650 to clean. Then I took a break to go to the inspection of 627. One of the inspectors asked if I had honey. So after the inspection, I went home for honey, brought it back and put it in her truck.

I went back to 650 to work on the kitchen cabinets. I found some things left behind, so I texted pics to see if they still wanted them.

I went home for fiber gel, read outside, then made and ate breakfast. I went to play with Saronna. While we were playing, the power went out again. We finished playing and the power came back on.

I stopped to deliver milk to Michelle, then went back to 650. When I finished for the day, I gathered up all the used cleaning cloths. I went home and put them in the washer along with all the towels I used in the steam sauna. I ate fiber gel, then heated supper in the toaster oven. I listened to more sleep podcasts, then ate supper. I watched some sleep videos, and worked on my blog.

I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I turned on the sauna and got the towels and music ready. I was in for almost half an hour. Chris packed for his trip and went to bed. Later I did my stretches and joined him.

Trying liquid rennet

 

Monday

I got up at 8. I got ready for the day. I practiced and exercised. I brought in the latest delivery of milk and eggs. I steamed a batch of eggs. I made egg salad. I heated half of the milk to 100 and put it in the dehydrator with probiotics. I texted Michelle that her half gallon was ready.

I went to 627 to clean whatever spots might be left. Some guys came over to fix the screen door in back and to replace a fan in a bathroom. I went up to vacuum after them and to make sure the bathrooms were as spotless as possible. I moved some cleaning supplies to the garage and put some in my car.

I went home for fiber gel, then took the cleaning supplies to 650, stopping at the post office for mail (which included a bottle of liquid rennet).  I left some cleaning supplies in a group for Davis. I also vacuumed the fans.

I went home again for lunch. I texted Davis. I made breakfast and ate it while reading e-mail and listening to a podcast on sleep.

I went back to 627 to vacuum and mop the floors again. Dirt and dog hair keep reappearing.  I moved everything outside and mopped myself out of the house. Some things went in my car and others got thrown away. I went to 650 to clean in the kitchen for 45 minutes, then went home.

I heated supper and played hymns so I could choose two for next Sunday. I did not have large copies of any of the Holy Spirit hymns. I ate supper, then took my trombone and music to the chapel for band. Keli didn't come, so the rest of us played the hymns for Sunday and a few others. The Broadway tunes weren't as bad as I thought they'd be without the piano part.

We packed up and went home. I put rennet in the milk, then went through Telegram messages and e-mail. I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I read cheese recipes in the Granddaughter's Inglenook cookbook. No mention of adding rennet, just scalding clabbered milk. Chris went to bed. I used the steam sauna, then dried it out and went to bed myself.
