Bible Study outside

 


Thursday

I got up at 7:45. I got ready for the day and watered the plants and practiced. I checked e-mail. I made yarrow tea.

I took some yogurt and little cups and went to the chapel. They were having Bible study outside. Wendy had an extra chair so I sat by her. We read two chapters of Genesis and discussed them. Then they had a mini party for Tarah for her birthday. I gave out yogurt to those who wanted to try it or who wanted to take some home to start their own batch. Tarah gave me some all cotton overalls that she didn't want anymore.

I went home, drank some tea and prepared the sauna. After steaming, I cleaned up and took a shower. I ate fiber gel and checked e-mail. I made breakfast and ate it while watching The Highwire. I checked e-mail again. I went to the library to make some copies of music.

Then I parked by the chapel and walked to the gym for the awards ceremony. I had to sit on the bleachers because all the chairs were full. There were lots of awards handed out. Chris wanted me to be there because two of my circle were getting awarded. After the ceremony I talked to Gary about putting Steve in charge of the garden.

I walked back to my car and drove home. I looked up instructions for the fabric egg. I made a template, chose fabric, then made egg. I found a piece of candy to put in the egg pocket and I photographed the egg in several places. I posted to Facebook for sewing class and Math Morning.

I checked e-mail and Telegram. I worked on my blog and made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I read e-mail and articles after that. I massaged some lymph points and went to bed. Chris wasn't asleep, so we cuddled for awhile. And later I had RLS, but not so bad that I had to get up.

Writing up rules

 


Wednesday

When I got up, I brushed my teeth. I harvested yogurt for starters and put them in the fridge. I prepared for coffee morning with exercises and supplements. After meditating and tapping, I cleaned the bathrooms and mopped their floors. I took some niacin and cleaned the kitchen and washed dishes. I mopped and vacuumed. I checked messages.

At 2:30, I prepared the sauna and hot yarrow tea. I steamed for 20 minutes, then cleaned up and took a shower. As the water flowed over my head, I thought about all the things that should go into the garden rules. So when I got out, I wrote them down.

I made egg salad, then went to Housing to track down the guy who wanted a quote. I ate yogurt with frozen blueberries. I wondered if the coldness froze the microbes. Chris came home from work. He said they were finalizing their document on garden rules and to send mine to his deputy. So I did.

Steve called about picking up compost this weekend. I thought he said he would lend me a truck so I went to the gym to make sure he understood that I can't drive a big truck safely. We talked about the readiness of the compost and other garden issues.

Then I went home to hydrate. I talked to Chris about the EMS vehicles I saw by the school, but he didn't know what was up. So I called Michelle and she overheard that they were checking out a gas leak.

I went to the school. I walked with the ladies and we ran in to John and Michele. So they walked with us. After the post-walk chat, I came home and worked on my blog. Then I made tea and we watched TV. After that, I spent some time online looking up stuff and finally went to bed after 11.

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.
