Leveling up DURING the game

 

Sunday

I got up at 9, having wrestled with RLS during the night. I got ready for the day. I watched cheese-making videos. I heated half a gallon of milk. I poured in some vinegar a little bit at a time. I scooped the curds which were transparent and stringy. When I thought I had them all, I poured out the whey into the compost pile. I made and ate breakfast as I continued to watch cheese and yogurt videos. Did you know that you can ferment milk with a pepper or a lemon?

I called up the praise songs on my laptop so I could hear them ahead of time. I got dressed for church. I took cheese squares and music to the chapel. I talked to Keli and to the chaplain about playing for Easter. Then the service started with three praise songs. One had the same name but was not the song I listened to. Then the chaplain invited Dr Mays and his father to come forward. They are both studying the book of Job. The older Mays answered some questions, then the younger one read the scripture reading.

The chaplain gave the sermon and the band came up to play our two hymns. Then the chaplain gave the benediction. Afterward, we all talked together in small groups. Then I took my cheese squares and left.

I went to the gym to turn on the sauna for later. I texted Michelle. I went home to change into a bathing suit and pack my sauna bag. I drank water and filled two water bottles. I met Michelle at the sauna at 3:15. We talked and sweated for an hour or more. I think I sweat better in the steam sauna. We showered off and talked about the charcuterie boards for Galentines. Then I went home for the game.

Chris had my supper in the oven. I ate fiber gel and signed in for the game. We talked a bit, then started to play. We finished off the Lich and his men. Then we investigated his castle. Astrid tried to hire away the cook with no luck. We spent a lot of time leveling up with the experience points from the fight. Afterward, we tried to find the Lich's phylactery. Then we headed for a dragon's lair. AND the game was called for time.

I worked on my blog. I saw a short video about the company that does school pictures keeping those pics and student information in a large database which the pedophiles can access. I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Afterward, I looked up some of the actors and actresses. One of them I recognized from a soap opera in the 90's.

We read on our laptops too late and went to bed.

My duck is cooked

 

Saturday

I got up at 8, thinking it was later. I got ready for the day. Chris went to Mass. I practiced and washed dishes and read e-mail. Chris came home. He prepared a pot with spices and put in a duck. He cooked the innards separately. Then he gave me a coconut oil massage. Afterwards, he checked on the innards while I went in the sauna, then took a shower. He started the laundry.

I made and ate breakfast. I sat outside and read for awhile. Then I packed some dusting supplies and went to clean for the lady off post. She and I chatted a bit, then I started dusting. I also cleaned some baseboards by the door. She paid me and we chatted some more. Then I went home, stopping at the post office on the way.

Chris had the duck ready. But I ate fiber gel, then read e-mail for a while. John and Michele came over for a package and to pick up the glass recycling. I asked if they were coming to Project Night and they said they were.

After they left, I ate some of the duck over rice. I worked on a pair of pants I had cut out last week. I packed them in a bag to bring along. I jotted notes for my blog.

I took my project and trombone to the chapel. I unlocked the doors and turned on the lights. I set up in the fellowship hall. Cedric and Casey arrived and set up. Saronna texted me that she was coming to rhythm class. Michele and John had arrived. I worked on the pants until she came with the kids. Then we played with sticks what was printed on the rhythm sheets. Sophia chose not to participate. Wilhelm had a hard time sitting still.

They left about 8. I went back to the fellowship hall where we discussed stuff as we worked. About 8:30 Michele and John left. Then Casey and Cedric packed up so I did, too. We walked out, turning off lights as we left.

I went home. I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched TV. We dressed the bed with clean sheets.  I mended the comforter that Chris uses.  I started watching a cheese-making video, then went to bed.

No chamomile at Melanie's

 

Friday

I got up before 8. I got ready for the day. I signed up for customer service at Paypal, but it said there was a 9 minute wait period. So I practiced for a few minutes, then came back. It had timed out. I signed up again. I took a quick shower. It had timed out. I signed up again, and sat until someone responded. Then I responded, and had to wait for their response, etc.

At 9, I went to Math Morning. I brought a book for Saronna to read. So it was more quiet. Then she and Jedediah went to count chairs. I helped Moira with her graded math papers.

At 10, we packed up, cleaned up nursery. I went home, called customer service at the bank. Back and forth, finally got some money in the right account. I removed all payees from Paypal.

I ate fiber gel, made more mix and parsed supplements. I made and ate breakfast. I read e-mail. We went to the commissary, then unloaded the food at home. We went to Tooele: Luckey's and Melanie's. Melanie's was strangely lacking in product on the shelves. We went back to base.

I read on my laptop while Chris prepared something. He went to his game night. I went in the sauna, then showered and ate supper. I prepared some cheese and sprouts for Michelle.

I drove to her house, gave her the jar of cheese. She showed me the houses in Europe that she is planning on staying at with the kids this summer. I loaded the game and played through the notes I took. We talked the whole time. And continued even after I quit the game.

When I got home, Chris was still up. I posted to my blog, then we went to bed.

Valentine's Dinner

 

Thursday

I got up at 7:30, Chris was still in the shower. What's up with that? I brushed my teeth and drank water. I stood outside for a minute, then did my squats. I practiced a little bit. I called the customer service number to activate a card and found out it was cancelled. So I ordered another one and she said it would be sent to me in a link on my phone. Sigh.

I watered the plants and did a few last minute things. I threw a load of small towels into the wash. Then I went to Bible Study. We read two chapters of Genesis and discussed them. We chatted and prayed. As the others left, Wendy helped me look for a lost earring. We even took apart the vacuum cleaner bag and I searched it with one hand as far as down as I thought it might be. Then we threw it out and she put a new bag in (which it really needed anyway).

I went home to get my magnifying glass, then to the swap shop to search through piles of pants to find cotton ones. I found one pair, and a shirt with tags still on. But the tags were in Japanese. I took them home. I tried on the pants and they were too small in the waist. Then I checked the tags and decided it was probably cotton. Then I looked up how to get the logos off. Heat was recommended.

I made breakfast and watched The Highwire. It was only about 90 minutes. I read some e-mail. I looked through the rest of my drawers. I marked some more stuff. I put some non-cotton tops in a bag with the pants that didn't fit. I took the bag back to the swap shop. Revonna was there looking for something. Then Jenni arrived. We talked for some time. I headed home.

Chris was waiting for me. So I changed into a black dress with gold earrings. We went to the Community Club for Valentine's dinner.  John and Michele arrived seconds later. So we went in and found a table for each couple. There were only two servers and I think they were serving at the bar as well. So it was slow. We got our drinks and I asked for music. It took awhile, and then they fiddled with the sound system. But nice music came out. It seemed like they had a list of songs prepared, but Chris said it might just be Charity's playlist on her phone. Anyway, it added a lot.

When our pre-selected meals came, they were about room temp, but the plates were warm. Chris mentioned it just so they would know. We ate them the way they were. I couldn't finish. So we got a to-go box and asked for the dessert to be boxed as well. Chris paid and we went home.

I changed into my nightgown. I pulled the towels from the dryer. I followed the link to the debit card and completed the steps, but it wouldn't tell me the number so I could use it. I tried to log in, but it would not accept my password or let me create a new one. Of course the customer service number doesn't work after hours.

I worked on my blog.  I made tea.  We watched one episode of Criminal Minds.  I didn't feel like going in the sauna, so I read on my laptop, then went to bed.

John's application was accepted

 

Wednesday

I woke up at 730 hearing Chris get out of the shower. When he was gone, I got up to prepare for coffee morning. I drybrushed and rebounded. I did the lymph-moving exercises. But on the last one, I leaned back to stretch and my back spasmed. I recovered quickly enough, but the shadow of it followed me around for the rest of the day.

I took some Curamin and texted John to bring my Curamed back. I did my meditation and tapping. I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. John came over with the supplement. He asked if there was anything else and I asked him to refill the 5 gallon jugs. So he did and I paid him back. I also had him pull out the heavy glass dish from the back of the dishwasher.

After he left, I took niacin. I went to my laptop to order more vitamin E and saccharomyces. It took a long time to compare prices and options. Then I made some egg salad. I prepared the sauna again. I vacuumed the bedroom, hall and den. I did some stretches, then got in the sauna. After the sauna, I took a shower, and then some charcoal. I dried the sauna. I checked my phone and jotted notes to my blog.

I tried to verify when lipolysis from niacin hits, but couldn't find the info.

I walked to the post office for the mail.   Chris got home just before I did.  He made himself supper.  I kept searching for lipolysis.  Michele and John came over for him to finish his application for a position at the clinic. She laid on the floor the whole time because she couldn't sit. Guess she'll have to sit to go to the MRI on Friday.  Faye called to talk about Susan, who died at 61. We talked about other things as well. John and Michele went home.

I made tea and finished my blog. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. I read some e-mail and went to bed.

Everybody wants to be a cat

 

Tuesday

I got up before 8, got ready for the day. I started practicing and came upon Everybody Wants to be a Cat. I liked it so much that I turned on the old computer and scanned it. I also re-did the copy of Lord of the Dance to be used by bell ringers.

I ate fiber gel and went into the sewing room to mark more clothing for cotton content. Then I made and ate breakfast. I read e-mail. I started threading elastic through the waist of a pair of pants.

I went to Saronna's house. We practiced When the Saints, over and over. We also tried Everybody Wants to be a Cat. She really liked it too. Afterward, I went home to get some cleaning spray, then went to 403 for inspection. It passed easily and we all chatted a bit. We rolled out the garbage and recycling cans for collection on Thursday.

I went to the library to make copies. They gave me a dozen eggs. We chatted about this and that. On my way out, I passed Keli and gave her a set of copies. I went home.

I went into my sewing room and finished the elastic. I sewed a channel for it to ride in. I tried the pants on and the elastic made a big difference. Then I went through my other pants to see which ones were cotton. Like one. I ate fiber gel. I put supper in the toaster oven. Chris came home from work and prepared his own supper.

As I was reading messages, John and Michele came over. Chris helped John apply for a job at the clinic. They also talked about the next gaming convention. I paid John for his help on 403.

I worked on my blog. I made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. Then I prepared the sauna and did some stretches. I steamed for 20 minutes, then got out and wiped off. I hung up the wet towels and dried out the tent. I spent some time on my laptop while my heart rate decreased. Then we went to bed.

Marking the cotton

 

Monday

I got up at 8, having slept well. I got ready for the day. I did my squats and practiced.

I cleaned off my sewing table, having to patch a pair of his pants. Then I altered some of the cotton clothing from the swap shop.

I ate fiber gel. There was no sun so I marked my cotton clothing with red thread on the tags. Then I made and ate breakfast. I chose two hymns and pulled them from the binder. I also hole-punched the ones from last week and stuck them in the binder.

I went to the post office for mail, then went to Housing to return a remote and schedule an inspection. I went to 403 to make sure it was ready for that inspection.

I went home and pulled all my tops from the drawers and examined them, marking those that are verifiable 100% cotton. I ate fiber gel, then put supper in the toaster oven. I read e-mail and listened to a tapping audio. Chris came home from work.

 I went to band practice. We played the two hymns. We worked on several other pieces, then turned to the Broadway book.  At 7, I dismissed them. We packed up, turned off the lights and went home.

I finished listening to the audio. I read messages and listened to a discussion of the Epstein files. I worked on my blog. I made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I prepared the sauna and went in for 20 minutes. Then I wiped it down, showered and put on a nightgown. Chris went to bed. I stayed up to add up cleaning hours and figure out what I owe John and Isadora.
