Re-quote

 

Monday

I got up after the 7:35 alarm. I finished a puzzle, then started the morning list. I reset the gopher traps. I chose hymns for next Sunday, then posted for band and revival.

I went to the garden to water, to weed, and to pick any ripe cherry tomatoes. I went to the chapel to reset the ozone machine. Then I went to the library for copies.

When I got home, I ate yogurt and read. I made and ate breakfast. I read messages. I mowed till my hands hurt. So I put the mower away and came in.

Later I went to post office for mail and back to the chapel to reset the machine. I watched a video on humming. It made me sleepy so I laid on the floor.

Then the phone rang. Rod wanted a re-quote. So I drove over to his empty house and let myself in with the garage code. I walked around and examined the house. She did a lot of cleaning but not as thorough as will be required for inspection. When I got home, I called them to quote a lower price and ask them to weedwhack the back yard before they return the trimmer.

When I got home, Chris had supper on the stove. I ate a bowl of it and a hard-boiled egg. I went to the chapel for band. Keli arrived at the same time as a new family. The dad brought a guitar but we didn't have guitar music. The little boy wanted to play drums. His mother helped him find the beat. She also sang one of the songs.

When practice was over, we talked. The dad helped me set up the ozone machine in the computer area. We talked some more and he told me all about his flying lessons. Then we each headed home.

When I got home, I took supplements and ate chia seed with blueberries. I finished a podcast and worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched TV. I looked up some of the actors that seemed familiar. I spent the rest of the evening going through Day 1 presentations of the 18^th Annual Tapping World Summit. And finally – bed.

Running the ozone machine

 

Sunday

I got up late. I started on the morning list. I watered the indoor plants. I made cheese squares. I read e-mail then made and ate breakfast. I dressed for church, and warmed up on trombone. I took the cheese squares to church.

The service started with 5 songs which the chaplain played on his guitar. He got the kids involved in dancing or motions to go with them. Then we had our regular service protocol. Keli and Jenni and I played the last two hymns.

There was lots of talking afterward while I waited for everyone to leave so I could turn on the ozone machine. Then Keli came back to give a piano lesson. So I went home, vowing to return later.

I contacted Jenni and Michelle. Jenni suggested going to the pool at 4. I met Michelle at the swap shop. We stayed till 4. Michelle took me home, I changed into a bathing suit and drove to the pool. I showed Dave the inflatable that I want to buy for the pool. He said he would ask Ron. I got in the pool with Jenni and we swam and talked.

I left at 4:55, stopping at chapel to turn on the ozone machine. When I got home, I changed into dry clothes. I partook of supper that Chris cooked and signed into the game. We played. Everything went well, then we got into a fight...

Afterward, we went for a walk with John and Michele. I took a moment to check the garden, but it was too dark to find ripe tomatoes. When we walked past the chapel, I darted in to turn off the fan. We finished the walk and everybody went home.

I made tea and we watched TV. I read online, then wrote to my blog. I perused my Facebook feed and went to bed.

A rainy day in Dugway is almost as rare as a cold day in H...

 

Saturday

I got up at 7:30. Chris went to Mass. I worked on my morning list. When he got home, he gave me a massage. I took a shower and got dressed. It rained and hailed. I could hear it on the roof, but the plants seemed ok. I watered the plants that were on the front porch. Then I made breakfast mix.

I made and ate breakfast. Chris had started the laundry then gone to watch a movie with John and Michele. I emptied the dryer and threw the wet clothes in. I went to the chapel to run the ozone machine. I stopped by the garden to check for tomatoes and for beet sprouts.

When I got home, I read online. I might have fallen asleep. I read a book in the lounger. Later John and Michele came over for dinner. Chris made meatloaf and potatoes.

Then I went to the chapel for Project Night. I started cleaning. John and Michele were not far behind. She was working on a green silk dress for an upcoming trip. Then Michelle and Casey arrived. We talked, then Casey set up Tetris. I played a game, then John played one and then I played again. We packed up at 9.

When I got home, we folded laundry and dressed the bed. Then we watched Criminal Minds. He went to bed while I worked on my blog and read online. Then I got ready for bed.

Our new mower

 

Friday

I got up after the 7:35 alarm. I went through the quickest part of the morning list, then went outside to water and level gopher mounds and set traps. I practiced and finished the list.

I took bathroom cleaners and went to the swap shop. Steve had already unlocked it for the public. But someone had left a 'treat' in the tiny associated bathroom. It had molded and wouldn't flush. I pushed it with a toilet brush and proceeded to scrub the toilet inside and out. I also did the sink and window sill. Then I swept the floors inside the swap shop and in the hallway. Apparently this building is where pill bugs gather to die.

Then I went to the chapel. I called the chaplain about Revival sign which had fallen down. I moved the ozone machine up to a shelf. When the chaplain arrived, we put the Revival flag back up. We chatted for some time. Then I went to the garden to water. I saw that more cherry tomatoes were half eaten.

I went home and had lunch. I ran errands: I ran by the chapel to move the ozone machine to another location. I went to the gym to pay Steve for the machine. I went to the garden with a large net to cover the tomato plant. Finally, I ran by Self-Help but the door was closed. On my way home, I passed Richard who had just dropped off the lawn mower at my house.

I made a grocery list and we went to the commissary for food. Then we went to Tooele to get what the commissary didn't have. When we got back, I went to Self-Help to pay Richard for the mower. We talked for awhile, and then I went to the chapel to move the ozone machine to the sewing storage room.

I went home raked and mowed the foremost parts of our yard. I ate supper, then mowed some more. I read online and listened to a podcast. Then I got ready for Game Night with some cheese squares for Michelle and a bottle of tea for me.

On my way over, I passed a man walking in the middle of the road. He seemed a little unsteady, so when I got to Michelle's house, I told her about it. She immediately called Dispatch. She was sitting outside and invited me to join her. So we talked for awhile. A policeman came by to say they checked out the man and he was ok. The three of us talked for awhile, then Casey came out and said the game was up.

So we went inside. I pulled up my last save and played to the end of that module. Then, the game gave me the opportunity to use the value of the treasures I found to buy things like ammo and med kits. But we couldn't figure out how to make the keyboard select the items I wanted. The game shut down several times. So finally Casey said he would run it under a virtual machine – whatever that means.

I talked to Michelle till 11:45, then I headed home. Chris was still up. He went to bed and I went through my bedtime routine before turning in.

The movie debuts

 

Thursday

I got up roughly on time. I went through the morning list. I went to the chapel for Bible study. We read chapter 4 of Genesis. I went to a quote on Pronghorn. I went home for fiber gel, then raked sticks in preparation for mowing.

I made and ate breakfast, then watched The Highwire. I looked for some interesting inflatables for the pool.

I went to see Emily in ACS. I showed her the movie and she gave me permission to post it to Facebook. I stopped by the library, talked to Melissa, then went home. I ate fiber gel and answered messages. I went to the club with Chris. He ordered pizza. We went upstairs and started the movie ourselves. No one else showed up.

Chaplain texted inviting everyone to come to the chapel to pray for Revival. On our way home from the movie, we passed the chapel and it looked like he was the only one there.

After the movie, I got a message that a family needed mattresses. I went to the garden, but it was too dark to find ripe cherry tomatoes. I watered the furthest tomato. I called someone who had mattresses and was assured that the family had some.

I went home and worked on my blog. I made tea. We watched TV. Michelle sent me the updated swap shop movie through Facebook. I showed it to Chris but it had no sound. I posted it to my personal page and the sound was there. So I posted it to the Community page, with a little trepidation. Will people like it?

Then I looked for pool water wheels. I looked up the actors in Sheep Detectives, then went to bed.

Chair aerobics and water aerobics

 

Wednesday

I got up after 7:30. I had a truncated morning list. Then I prepared for coffee morning. I spent some of my reading time outside watering plants and grass. I meditated and tapped. I took niacin and willowbark. I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. I washed dishes. I vacuumed, then laid out in the sun before taking a steam bath. I showered and got dressed. I ate some yogurt, then went to Rod's house at 3.

I got there just before he did. Bobbie called to say a couple from Germany just moved here with nothing and could I open the swap shop some time? Sure. Rod and his wife let me look around the house to come up with a quote. He talked about giving a bunch of stuff away. He was moving some heavy stuff so I called John to come help him. Then I got a call saying the German couple was at the swap shop. So I drove over there and unlocked the swap shop, but recommended that they go see Rod right away. So they did. Rod fixed them up with all kinds of stuff. They bought his washer and dryer. I gave them a box of cleaners from the trunk of my car.

I left around 5:15. When I got home, I made egg salad. I went to Self Help to talk to Richard about the mower. He said he would drop it off tomorrow after work. I went home. Chris was there. We chatted.

I put on my suit and went to the pool for chair aerobics and water aerobics. There were lots of kids in the pool and Michelle decided she didn't want to lead the chair aerobics with so many people around. Someone sprayed her from the pool. She gave me the sheet and she left. I led Jenni and Janet through the list of exercises. Janet took her kids home and Jenni and I got in the pool for water aerobics. After the boys finally got out, there was only 10 minutes left. Jenni and I got out and dried off.

I went to the garden to water. I picked some cherry tomatoes and saw one that had been eaten – sort of. Then I went to the swap shop to lock up. I don't know if the couple had ever come back to look around. I went home.

I read messages, then worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched Criminal Minds. I looked up the actors. I read articles and messages. Then it was time for bed.

Disinfecting with ozone

 

Tuesday

I got up at 7:30. I finished a Sudoku puzzle and went through the morning list. I dealt with gopher mounds and holes. I swear they are turning my yard into a 3^rd world country.

I read by the red light. Then Rod called to talk about his move and the cleaning needed. I went to Michelle's house to get my salad spinner and the recently freeze-dried contents. On the way home, I stopped at the chapel to set the ozone machine to run for two hours in the nursery. I saw that most of the small toys had been moved to the back of the sanctuary. So I guess that area needs to be ozonated as well.

When I got home, I made and ate breakfast. I read messages and hard-boiled two batches of eggs. I laid out in the sun. I wiped off and re-dressed. I jotted notes for my blog. I got a fan from the garage. It wouldn't turn, so I sprayed it liberally with WD-40.

I went to Self-Help to pay for the lawn mower. But he wasn't there. I went to the garden to weed and to water. Then I went to the chapel where I moved the ozone machine to the fellowship hall. I stopped by the post office for mail. Only junk mail.

I read e-mail and listened to a podcast. I went to the chapel to reset the ozone machine. I set up the fan to blow the ozone around.

Chris fixed leftovers for me and steamed a beet. I went to Michelle's house to see the movie she had made from the clips I gave her. We did some tweaking, then I went home for supper.

I checked messages, and worked on my blog. We watched TV. I went to the chapel to turn the fan off. When I got back, I read online some more, then got ready for bed. I jumped out of bed to rescue the yogurts from the dehydrator. Then went back to bed and eventually slept.
