First 3-D printing class

 

Saturday

I got up at 7:30. I got ready for the day. Chris took a shower and went to Mass. I parsed supplements for the next week. I steamed in the sauna, then took a shower and got dressed.

Soon it was time to go to the ACS building for the 3-D printing class. The librarian explained that they got a grant to buy the 3-D printer and it stipulated that classes must be given and taken in order for people to use it. Although 17 people signed up for the class, only 10 showed up. We learned about the kinds of filaments, safety issues, and copyright concerns. Then she asked what people wanted to make and most wanted to make DnD or other characters.

After class, I went home, stopping at the post office. I ate fiber gel and read outside. It was windy and the sun kept going behind clouds. Then I came in to make and eat breakfast. Later I put some dust cloths in a bucket and went to Tina's house. She told me stories of old Dugway while I dusted shelves of DVD's. Then she showed me some quilt projects she had from before the accident.

When I got home, Chris told me that Michele and John were not coming over. I ate fiber gel, put ham and sauerkraut in the toaster oven and read e-mail. Later I ate supper. Michele came over to chat, saying John was asleep.

When it was nearly 7, I threw some projects in a bag and headed to the chapel. I unlocked the doors and put my stuff inside. I stood outside enjoying the last of the sun. Wilhelm arrived first and said his sisters weren't far away. John and Michele arrived. Then Saronna. So we went into the sanctuary to have rhythm class. But the music folder wasn't there. Accordingly, I got out the level two band books. We tried playing from them on drum sticks. Then I had them play sticks while I played Chopsticks on the piano. But some didn't get the rhythm. So I turned it into a dance. Some got it and some didn't, but Saronna appreciated the variety. Then her kids went home and we chatted about nasal surgery. John and Michele left.

I went back to the hall and it was just Casey and Cedric. Casey was tired so they packed up and we all left. I was home by 8:3 and ate more yogurt. I had to wrestle with Task Manager to get Open Office to work again in order to work on my blog. Then I typed up yesterday and today.

I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. Afterward, Kurt texted with me and I looked up tea leaves from fruit trees until almost midnight. Then I went to bed.

No notes for Game Night

 

Friday

I got up about 7:30. I stirred and rinsed and exercised, etc. I pulled up the recipe and proofed the yeast, then mixed in the rest of the ingredients. I went to Math Morning. The kids came with math, but getting them to actually concentrate on it was like pulling teeth. I've decided that I won't do it next year.

When I got home, I changed my shoes. I set the machine to mix the dough again. Then I went to garden clean up. I worked for over an hour. Michele happened to walk by so we chatted. Jenni as well. Then Mrs. Pace came by with her son. They helped me rip the chicken wire box out and she took it for her garden.

When I got home, I ate fiber gel and formed rolls from the dough. I put them in a warm oven to rise. I read outside for awhile. I came in to make breakfast. I baked the rolls while eating.

We went to the commissary for groceries. We took them home, then went to Tooele for things the commissary didn't have. I had a consult at Melanies and bought some Moon Drops that are supposed to help me sleep. I went to Macey's for organic apples. We went back to the base.

I ate fiber gel, read e-mail, then ate ham and potato. I listened to interviews. I threw the ingredients for beer bread into the bread machine. I walked to the post office for mail, walked home with supplements. I ate several yogurts. I formed rolls and put them in a warm oven to rise, then worked on my blog. I took notes for the game tonight.

I took some kimchi yogurt to Game Night for Casey. Michelle was at the prom with Isadora. I forgot my phone so I didn't have any notes. Things did not go well in the game. I got stuck and went to other versions of the game and tried to remember how to do those situations. At 10:55, I thanked Casey and went home. I checked two things to see what I missed. Then I went to bed.

Finally I get a nap

 

Thursday

I got up by 7:30. I watered the plants and exercised. I checked a ferment from last night. It had already separated. I took yogurt and went to open the chapel for Bible Study. Two ladies were waiting in their car. So we all went in together.

The three of us chatted then Tara arrived. We read from Ecclesiastes and discussed that chapter and more. I passed out yogurt to those who wanted it. We locked up and left at 11.

I went home and ate yogurt. I read e-mail, then ate fiber gel. I laid outside and read for over half an hour. I came in to make breakfast and listen to The Highwire. I ran the numbers for cleaning hours and payment. I went to the inspection for 211 and the occupant paid me.

I went by Saronna's house, but she wasn't home. When I got home, I made up more pay envelopes. I taped the rubber back onto the wheels of the metal lounge chair and rolled it toward the privacy wall.

I put on a video on VPNs. When I realized it was making me sleepy, I moved to the recliner and took a nap. Yay! After I woke up, Bryce called needing kitchen stuff, so I said I would leave the swap shop open. I took the key and walked to the post office to unlock both rooms. I checked the kitchen supplies and there seemed to be what he needed. I also check for shoes and cotton pants for me, but didn't find anything. I walked home and arrived just as Chris did. He was carrying a pizza. I talked to him about our excess kitchen stuff.

I ate fiber gel. I posted to my blog. I heated leftovers for supper. I read through a bunch of e-mail. We discussed issues of the day. I ran to lock up the swap shop. I got there just as the police were leaving. But they hadn't locked the doors. Odd.

I made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I watched the rest of an episode of Call the Midwife and started another. At 11, I shut it down and went to bed, but had a hard time falling asleep.  Was it the nap?

A typical Wednesday

 

Wednesday

I got up at 7:30. I prepared for coffee morning. After exercising, reading, meditating and tapping, I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. Not many dishes to wash since Chris ran the dishwasher.

I checked e-mail, then prepared the sauna and steamed. I showered and cleaned up. I checked more e-mail, then made and ate egg salad. I went to the post office for mail, and to the library to get another book. I stopped at the gym to pay Davis and went to 211 to make sure we hadn't missed any spots before inspection tomorrow.

I went home. I raked and mowed in the front yard and the enclosed back yard. I jotted notes for my blog. I read e-mail. I looked up some questions on the internet. I made tea and we watched Criminal Minds. I watched the last half from yesterday and started another episode of Call the Midwife. I paused it around 11 and went to bed.

Sucessful inspection

 

Tuesday

I got up at 7:30. I checked the ferments. I practiced and exercised just a little – too sore from shampooing carpet yesterday. I caught up on e-mail.

I went to 650 for inspection at 10:30. I had time to double-check everything and sweep bee hives out of the shed. The inspectors showed up at 11. They looked around, found some red flecks in the toilet. Then we signed papers and chatted. I went home.

I ate fiber gel, then read outside in the sun. I came in to prepare and eat breakfast. I got a call asking how I would clean certain things. So I threw together a bucket of supplies and went to her house. I spent half an hour showing her how to clean, but she seemed unsatisfied.

I went to see Saronna. We played and chatted for an hour. Her 4yo carried my trombone out to my car. I went to 650B with a pumice stone to get those flecks off the toilet. On my way home, I dropped off the garage remote.

I read messages, then looked at electroculture videos. I ordered 4 sprigs of copper wire. I looked for a video of magnets on a glass of water to mimic something I saw online for $50.

Chris came home. We went to the gas station for 3 jugs of water and a tank of gas. We replaced the porch lightbulb, with Chris grumbling all the way about inconvenient fixtures.

I mowed some high parts of the front lawn and the strip by the road. I prepared pay envelopes for my crew. I worked on my blog and ate some sleep yogurt. I made tea. We watched Criminal Minds. Later I watched one and a half episodes of Call the Midwife and went to bed.

Processing the milk

 

Monday

I got up before 8. I started to get ready for the day. I brought in the milk and eggs. I heated half of the milk to 180 and let it cool. I poured out the jars of egg colors and washed them, then put them in the oven to sterilize. I cheesed the half gallon of milk left from last week. I blended up half the leftover sprouts and drank it. I heated the other half of the new milk. I pulled out all the jars of yogurt and decided which ones to feed and which ones to let go (based on health effects. I strained the pineapple scraps out of the vinegar and tossed them in the compost.

I ate fiber gel, then read outside for almost an hour in the sun. I came in to make breakfast. I ate while checking e-mail and messages. I steamed two batches of eggs. I put some of them in a jar of kombucha to ferment. I made breakfast mix.

At 3:30 I went to 211 to clean. John arrived at 4 to move the furniture around so I could vacuum and shampoo the carpet. Right after he left, Isadora showed up to clean the bathroom. We finished up about 7:30 and carried all the stuff to my car. She walked home and I drove home.

I brought all my cleaning stuff in from the car. Rod was there talking to Chris. I was really tired and didn't feel like talking. After Rod left, Chris got out the ham and I fixed a bowl of supper. I ate it while reading messages and watching NWNW. I posted to my blog for yesterday. Then I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds.

Easter Sunday

 

Sunday

I got up after 7:30. Chris came home from the Easter sunrise service around 8. He said it was well attended but cold.

I rinsed the sprouts and stirred the pineapple vinegar-to-be. I looked for ph paper to check the acidity, but all I found was the box that the roll came in. I checked e-mail, then looked for more ph paper to order. I found a few other items to order to get free shipping, then realized the paper read values from 5.5 to 8. But I needed a lower ph reading for vinegar.

I ate fiber gel, then read outside for too long.  I made and ate breakfast, then put eggs and sprouts on an aluminum sheet pan.  I got dressed and went to the chapel for bells practice.  John and Michele weren't there, so I called them. She said they forgot it was Sunday.  Arrgh!  So Saronna and Elizabeth and I practiced the songs until John and Michele arrived. But then it was time for the service to start. Chris had also arrived with the eggs and sprouts, which he put in the fridge.

The chaplain prayed and then the band went up front to play the two songs. Janet and Leilani did a dance by the cross and the kid soldier rolled the stone away to reveal the message that Chris is risen. Then Rod read the scriptures and the chaplain gave his sermon on why he became a Christian. At the end, we sang a praise song.

There was food leftover from the sunrise service so Chris put the eggs beside it in the fellowship hall. But most people did not go down there. Summer organized an egg hunt on the church lawn so that's where most people went. John and the chaplain went to have some pickled eggs and sprouts. So I sat and talked to them and Popkin. Chris took the eggs and went home.

Later I stopped by the gym to turn on the sauna. I went home to eat my grapefruit and change. I also texted Michelle. I went to the sauna with a book. Sadly I had to wear glasses to read it. Michelle came in later and we talked until after 4:30.

I went home for the game. I unpacked my sauna bag. Chris had supper in the oven. So I ate that as we talked until John and Michele woke up and joined the game. Then we picked up where we left off last week.

After the game, John wanted to go for a walk, so we all went to the school and walked around the school block: pretty close to a mile. Those two were on their phones catching Pokemon the whole time. Sheesh!

Afterward, I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. Then I worked on my blog.  It got too late to watch Call the Midwife.  I went to bed, but could not sleep due to RLS.  I got up around 1 and read a book by my red light.   I took some niacin and must have fallen asleep before the flush kicked in.
