Cleaning with John

 

Friday

I got up on time, feeling like I could use more sleep. But no RLS. I went through the morning list. I watered the plants and set the traps. I went to Rod's house to clean at 10. John joined me at 10:30. He did a lot in an hour, a lot of things that I can't reach without a stepladder.

I was home by noon. I prepared and ate breakfast. I made a shopping list. We went to the post office. Chris sat in the car while I went to pay Shelly. Lara was just leaving and the three of us talked. Chris and I went to the commissary and brought groceries home. I wanted to go to Melanie's for their Labor Day sale, but there was nothing I needed and I had other things to do.

I went to my garden and found that birds have been eating my cherry tomatoes again. I pulled off the black netting and re-did the configuration to make it harder for them to get into. Then I went to Rod's house to meet Isadora.

She cleaned bathrooms while I did windows and baseboards. Then I took her home and was home myself by 5:30. Chris got ready for gaming and left for ACS. I ate supper and checked e-mail.

I sewed a fabric cube and took a pic. I went through two tapping presentations, skipping the talking part and concentrating on the tapping part. THEN, I remembered to post the cube to Facebook for Sewing Class and to work on my blog.

I got ready for Game Night. I went by the chapel to put the cushions on the couches and made it nice for the Catholic service tomorrow. Then I proceeded to Michelle's house. I gave her some garlic and cayenne capsules. Casey had the game up. It was easy to pick the ammo and medicines I need to buy with the treasure found. Then I played the game till I got to a point where I could not make the required jump. Casey tried as well. I resolved to look it up.

Before I left, she gave me a container of kimchi fried rice. I took it home and put it in the fridge. I looked up the impossible jump and it certainly seems like the walkthrough has better jumping capability than my game. I went to bed.

Looking for a house

 

Thursday

I got up on time, having slept hard through the night. I went through the morning list and read the Chapter for today. At , I opened the chapel for Bible Study. It ran long. We talked about needed a place for Saronna's kids to go during her surgery.

I got a call from Michelle and went outside to take it. When I got back, they had disbanded, but a few were left. I set up the ozone machine and turned it on when they exited. I went home. I called Jack to see if we could rent a house for a week for Saronna's family while she gets brain surgery. He said no, then told me he would talk to Chris and get back to me.

I went home for breakfast. I started watching The Highwire. Jamie called me from Germany. We talked until I had to leave for a sign-over at 1. I went to 403, signed papers and chatted with the resident and Bobbie. When I got home, I called Jamie back and we talked till just after 2. Then she hung up and I went to 644 to clean for 4 hours.

I went home. Chris took a brisket to Gary. I filed and ironed a gopher ball. When he got back, he put meatloaf in the toaster oven, I watered, then came in and ate supper.

I picked up the ozone machine from the chapel. I went walking with Michelle. We talked about our frustrations. When I got home, I started another Sudoku puzzle. I made tea and we watched TV. I asked Chris how we get to 'yes' and he told me. Then I worked on my blog and finished another tapping presentation.

Mower needs repair

 

Wednesday

I got up before 7:30, feeling like I hadn't slept at all. I did a few morning things, then prepared for coffee morning. After 4 rounds of meditation, I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. I mopped and vacuumed. I laid out in the sun. I used the steam sauna, then took a shower.

I ate yogurt, then checked e-mail. I ate egg salad. I went to the post office to check mail, then proceeded to the chapel to move the ozone machine. Finally, I went to Self-Help to discuss the mower. He said he would stop by after work.

I went to the garden, then Rod's house to get things soaking and set out the router. I went home, chatted with to Chris. I listened to a podcast.

The Self-Help guy came by to look at the mower. He replaced the filter which had fallen off. When he started the mower, it made quite a racket. He said he'd have to order a new chute. We chatted. I noted that the sprinklers never came on. I put the mower away.

I went back inside, and jotted notes to my blog. I went outside to water the bare spots. I posted to my blog and made tea. We watched TV. As I left the livingroom, I felt like I had stepped on a piece of glass. Chris couldn't see anything in my foot. Later I pulled a splinter out of my foot, but in a different spot. Hm. I cleared two tapping presentations, and one meditation, then went to bed.

First sign-over in 3 months

 

Tuesday

I got up before 8 when nature called. I worked on the morning list. I went out to water plants and deal with gopher mounds. I also cleaned up the sticks and dirt on the sidewalks. Ok, not all the way to the border of our property, but I have to save some energy for later.

I spent an hour entering volunteer hours into VMIS for August. I went to the chapel to move the ozone machine to a new spot. I went to the library for books and a movie.

When I got home, I made and ate breakfast. I walked to post office for the mail. I laid out in the sun and read. Later I went to a sign-over on Pinyon.

On the way back, I stopped at Michelle's house for a chat and for the art that Isadora made for me. It was after 5 when I went to the garden to fertilize and water.

I went home. I ate fiber gel and made up supplements for the week. I ate soup for supper with hardboiled eggs in it 'cause there wasn't much meat.

I mowed the side yard and part of the back. I stopped when the mower made a terrible noise that I didn't understand. I put it back in the shed.

I listened to presentations from the Tapping World Summit. I worked on my blog, then made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I looked up some of the actors. I finished the presentations, then went to bed.

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.
