Walking in the dark

 

Tuesday

I got up at 7:30. Chris came home to change his pants because they ripped. He put on another pair and asked how they looked. I said 'fine' and he said they were the ones I mended. They are ALL ones I mended!

I made up supplements for the week. I checked e-mail, then started two batches of yogurt to give away. I prepared the sauna and steamed, then took a shower. I ate fiber gel then read outside,

I made and ate breakfast. At the last minute, I fired up the copier to make copies for Saronna. Should have been quick but it gave me fits. Then I went to play with Saronna, and took her some yogurt. We played several pieces and her 4yo tried to play along.

Afterward, I took SBO yogurt to Michelle. We talked longer than I expected.

I went home to work on Chris' pants. I got sidetracked boiling eggs and peeling them to put in pickling juice. Chris came home from work. We took three water jugs to fill up. Then I mended his pants badly but he didn't care.

I heated leftovers and ate supper. I read e-mail and got the total unread down to 1150. I worked on my blog early because Jenni has decided to walk every night at 8.

I drove to the school and parked across from Jenni's house. She was waiting, then Ria and Eryne arrived. We waited just a bit, then Michelle and Davis showed up, each walking a dog.  Turns out Jenni posted the walk on Facebook.  So we all walked around the school block and listened to Ria tell her story. When we got back around, Davis went home and the rest of us talked. I left first and that seemed to break it up.

I went home and made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. Then I read more old e-mails and went to bed.

Making more yogurts

 

Monday

I got up near 8. I got ready for the day, rinsing sprouts and stirring the pineapple vinegar. I brought in the gallon of milk and carton of eggs. I heated and cooled the milk half a gallon at a time. Half went in the fridge for later and half went into several jars with probiotics to make yogurt.

I prepared and used the steam sauna, then showered and cleaned up. I ate fiber gel, then made breakfast.

While I was eating, I got a call to meet at the garden to discuss the plots. Steve had a list of who was assigned to which plot and the 4 of us checked out each plot.

I finished breakfast. Keli asked me to stop by the library so I did. She took me to see the CDC director who took me over to the CDC to see another supervisor. They asked me about embroidering names on smocks for the workers. I suggested embroidering the names on patches to be sewn or velcroed on the smocks. They liked that idea. We discussed the patches.

I went home. I read articles online. Chris came home and asked for soda bread for a luncheon at work tomorrow. But I had to run to band. We practiced all our music through Easter, plus a few other things. Then I dismissed them so I could help with bells. Saronna joined me because two people were missing. As we were leaving, I noticed Keli had left two dozen eggs behind. So I took one and Saronna took the other.

I went home and ate supper. We talked. He put a new battery in my watch but it still didn't work. I looked up a soda bread recipe and made buttermilk. I mixed up soda bread ingredients and put it in the oven. We watched TV, then waited till the soda bread was done. I worked on my blog and read e-mail, then went to bed.

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.
