Guest chaplain

 

Sunday

I got up before 9. I took supplements, practiced, exercised, etc. I watched video of gameplay on The Lighthouse and took notes.

I ate fiber gel, then sat outside but not for long because I got cold. I came in, read online, then started making breakfast. After breakfast, I washed up and got dressed. I took cheese squares to church.

As I greeted people, the guest chaplain came up to me and asked if I would end the service for him. All I could think of was “Go in Peace, Serve the Lord, Thanks be to God.” The last part is said by the congregation, but this congregation doesn't know that. So only a few said it – the ones I warned ahead of time. I asked CPL Popken about using the chapel on Tuesday nights for Magic the Gathering. He thought it would be ok.

After the service I went home. I changed into a bathing suit and packed a sauna bag, I called John and we worked on leveling up my character.

At 3:30 I went to the sauna. I sat alone for a bit, the Michelle and Jenni showed up. We talked and sweated. Then we talked as we got ready to go home.

Afterward, Chris had supper ready when I got home. I signed in for the game. We talked amongst ourselves for awhile. Then started game play: Astrid seemed bound on starting a fight but Rose insisted we play nice and make compromises.

After the game, I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched TV. I read and deleted messages. Then I got ready for bed.

Magic the Gathering?

 

Saturday

I got up after 8 when Chris left for Mass. I got ready for the day. I made more spice mix. Chris came home. I checked e-mail. I made yarrow tea. I asked for a massage and he gave me one. Later I turned on the sauna and steamed for 20 minutes. I took a shower and cleaned up. Chris started the laundry. I ate fiber gel. I checked e-mail and messages. I made and ate breakfast.

I put together a bucket of cleaning supplies for bathrooms. I went to Tina's house. I cleaned both bathrooms. Two ladies came to provide aid for one of her cats. The four of us chatted, then I went home.

I laid down for awhile but I don't think I fell asleep. I heard John and Michele come in. I got up for our dinner together. Chris heated up leftovers. We talked and ate. I went to the chapel for Project Night. No one was there, so I laid down.

Wendy came for yogurt so I gave her what I brought. It seemed runnier than it was supposed to be. She left. Casey and Cedric came and set up. Then Avery and two friends came.

Saronna came with her girls so we had Rhythm practice. They left at 8. I went back to the fellowship hall. I had two shirts: one to cut down and one as a pattern. I talked with John and Michele. Other people left. John told me he could run a Magic the Gathering group if I set it up. We locked up and walked out.

I went home. I made tea. We watched TV, then made the bed. I looked up some actors from Criminal Minds, then I watched gameplay of The Lighthouse. But I couldn't find the part I wanted. I posted to my blog and went to bed.

Tetris level 9

 

Friday

I got up at 8:15. I got ready for the day and checked e-mail. I opened the chapel for Math Morning. No one came so I started reading a book. Casey brought Tetris. I got up to level 9. I gave him yogurt to give to Michelle.

I went home. Chris and I went to get air in my tire. I made hot tea, then prepared the steam sauna. I steamed, cleaned up and took a shower.

I ate fiber gel and read outside. I came in to make and eat breakfast. I also read e-mail and listened to some podcasts. Then we went to the commissary and brought groceries home.

I put on a long podcast and pieced puzzles, solved Wordles, and deleted e-mails. I put supper in the oven, and later ate it. I finished the podcast. I listened to a dental podcast. He recommended zirconia if you have to have an implant. I looked up clues for The Lighthouse. Then I made tea, and went to Michelle's house for game night.

We talked for some time. She had bought little plastic cups with lids for me. I started the game and did not make much progress. Following the notes did not get the result I wanted.  I shut the game down and we talked a little more. I went home. Chris was in bed. I posted to my blog and got ready to sleep.

International Food Night

 

Thursday

I got up before 8, having slept ok. I practiced, etc. Then I went to Bible Study. I took yogurt for Janet and found out it was her birthday – perfect! We read from Genesis and discussed it. We lit candles in cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday. Wendy asked what I would charge for a jar of yogurt and I said I would just make it for her.

When I got home, I ate fiber gel. I made yarrow tea and put it in the dehydrator to keep it warm. Then I read outside in the sun. When I came in, I made breakfast and ate it while watching The Highwire.

Later I walked to the post office and back. I read e-mail and deleted a bunch. At 3 I went to a quote and knocked on the door, but no one answered. I waited, knocked again, then went home.

I drank tea. I turned on the steam unit and prepared the tent. I steamed for 20 minutes, then cleaned up and took a shower. I washed all the cloths plus some that Jamie had given me that smelled perfumed. I read e-mail, then put all the pickled eggs in a gallon jar.

Chris came home from work. He changed clothes and put the quiches in the car. We went to the ACS building where people were bringing in food and setting it on tables. There was a Greek table, Romanian table, Mexican table and a few non-descript tables. That's where our food went.

I sat with Michelle, then Michele and John showed up. The room slowly filled. The CSM got everyone's attention and the religious affairs officer said the prayer. People lined up to get food at each table. I got kimbap and japchai … and some other foods. The kimbap was really popular. My eggs were not. Lots of conversation. Then we sang Happy Birthday again as a cake was brought out for Janet.

Later people picked up their food and left. We helped put up tables and chairs. We took a plate of food to Cedric, then went home. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I posted to my blog and deleted e-mail for awhile before having some SBO yogurt and going to bed.

Create an AI avatar?

 

Wednesday

I got up at 8. I prepared for Coffee Morning. After the tapping and meditation, I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. I was washing dishes when Chris and Michele came home during lunch and looked up recipes. 

I took niacin. I finished the vacuuming and mopping. I read e-mail, then made yarrow tea. I read outside, then came in and prepared the sauna. I steamed for 20 minutes. I showered, then laid down for awhile.

I answered phone and the man wanted a quote, so I scheduled one for tomorrow at 3.  I listened to a summit episode. I ate some of 5 different ferments. I made egg salad.

 Michele came home with Chris to get some alcohol and toothpicks. I watched a Mike Adams interview with an AI expert. They talked about creating an avatar that does videos for the creator. I jotted notes on my blog, then looked for a probiotic that contains a strain of bacteroides. It was a long search, and then it was mixed with other strains and very expensive.

Chris made two quiches and put them in the oven. I made tea. We watched the first episode of season 8 of Criminal Minds. Later, I read Telegram messages. I posted to blog and went to bed.

New craft project - stands

 

Tuesday

I got up at 8:30. I did all the things I have decided to start each day with. I stirred the pineapple vinegar and checked my ferments. I added more milk to some and put some in the fridge. I read e-mail and messages. I started a ferment of l. reuteri in coconut milk for Michelle.

I tried on a pair of pants from last night. I decided to baste it even smaller. I made two bottles of yarrow tea, then drank one. I got in the sauna for 20 minutes. I think I did sweat more this time. When I got out, I cleaned up and took a shower and hung up the wet wash cloths.

I ate fiber gel, then read outside in the sun. I made and ate breakfast. I checked e-mail. Saronna messaged me that she wasn't feeling well. I peeled more eggs for pickling. Chris said he wanted to make quiche for same event.

I walked to the post office to get the mail, then walked home. I tasted some of the SBO ferment. It smelled bad, but tasted ok.

I listened to several audios by James Corbett, and nearly fell asleep. Chris came home, heated soup on the stove for me. I placed a mirror on the shelf in front of me so I can look out the window easily to rest my eyes. I ate supper, then put on an episode of Beyond the Diagnosis. As I listened, I read posts of OneGoodThing and played the Wordle game at the end of each.

I worked on a wish list of items for chapel to buy. I looked into making table top stands for bells music and decided a black display board would make 4 nice ones. I had to order it from WalMart. Sigh.

I worked on my blog. I made tea. We watched the last episode of Season 7. It went twice as long as normal. Then I watered the tower garden and we got ready for bed.  I did not sleep well.

Ramping up the ferments

 

Monday

I got up after 8. I brushed my teeth in the unusually low sunshine. I exercised and practiced. I made fiber gel. I brought in the milk and eggs from the front porch. I heated half of the milk to 180, then cooled it to 100 while reading e-mail. I made slurries of different probiotics and put them in the dehydrator to ferment. I heated the other half of the milk. Some of it became cheese. The rest got stored for yogurt later.

I made up supplements for the week. I ate fiber gel.  I sat outside and read in the sun. I came in and started making breakfast. I compared supplements on two different websites and placed two orders.

I went to the garden with an old ferment that was questionable. I poured it under the leaf layer.  I stopped by the post office, then went home. Another old ferment went bad so I poured it on a part of the flowerbed where almost nothing grows. I steamed two batches of eggs while I peeled the previous eggs and put them in pickling juice.

I went into my sewing room to work on alterations. Chris came home and made his supper. I went to the chapel to set up the bells. Only the band members showed up. We played through all our hymns till Easter. That's when John and Michele showed up. But they just laid on the tables till Elizabeth arrived. 

The band played on. Then Kim came with her son. She had one knee strapped to a rolling unit. But she joined the bell players. When I finished with the band, I joined the ringers to see how it was going. John asked me to play Kim's part so she could hear the song. So I did. Her son knew how to read music, so we sent the music home with them to practice. Then we put away the bells. Elizabeth helped me clean up the music and table padding. Then she and I walked out together.

I went home. Chris had my dinner in the toaster oven. I read e-mail as I ate and listened to JP. I deleted e-mail. I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds.  I read some e-mail, then went to bed, forgetting to eat some sleep yogurt.  But I slept anyway.  I woke once in the middle of the night, then slept through till morning.
