Hemming sounds so easy

 

Wednesday

I got up at 7:30, not having slept well. I prepared for coffee morning. After meditating and tapping, I cleaned kitchens and bathrooms. I washed dishes. I read outside in the sun. I checked e-mail. I had a steam session. I took a shower and laid down.

I got up, dressed and made egg salad. I gathered up dried leaves from the dehydrator and put them in a baggie. I checked e-mail, then took the mended comforter to Popken. I listened to his side of the story.

I went to the gym to pick up a pair of unhemmed pants. I stopped at the post office, then went home. I realized I didn't have the room to lay the pants out. I looked up hemming, and making a tote bag. I raked and mowed.

I read e-mail, then laid out the pants. I measured, marked, cut, then folded up the hem and basted. But the legs were not the same length. I removed the basting, measured again and again. It kept kept changing. I gave up and watched Call the Midwife, then went to bed.

Probiotic gummy yogurt?

 

Tuesday

I got up before 7:30, having slept well. I exercised, etc. I put leaves from the dehydrator in a baggie. I got a text about donating to the swap shop. I drove to the post office to unlock the swap shop. I found some probiotic gummies in my purse so I put them in milk to see if they will make yogurt. I rolled up plastic bags and stuffed them in containers to cut down on the bulk. I cut down lots of boxes.

I had a steam session and took a shower. I ate fiber gel, then read outside. I made lunch, ate, then walked to the post office to lock the swap shop and pick up the mail.

I listened to something that made me sleepy.  Before I fell asleep, I went to the library for copies and stayed to chat. I went by the gym to sign up the band for Talent Night. I cut some suckers from the crab apple tree at the front entrance. I brought them home and cut the leaves off. I washed the leaves and put them in the dehydrator.

I mowed in the back yard. I saw Chris was home from work. I raked and mowed in the side yard. I came in and he told me he has an interview on Friday for a job in Chicago. News to me.

I ate some leftovers. I checked e-mail. I listened to an interview Faye sent. I worked on my blog. I made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds and I watched some Call the Midwife before going to bed.

picking fruit tree leaves

 

Monday

I got up at 8. I brushed, etc. I processed the milk just delivered. I put sauerkraut in some of it to see if it would ferment. I washed jars and put them in the oven to sterilize. I made cheese with the second half of the milk. I washed, soaked and dried three packages of strawberries and threw them in the freezer.

I ate fiber gel, then read outside. I made and ate breakfast. I walked to the post office, where I picked up a package of shaped metal rods. I opened the package and put each one where it could help a plant.

I looked for leaves of fruit trees online. I found 8 kinds at one site and ordered them. I had to order blueberry leaves from a separate site. I listened to interviews online while I mended the comforter that Popken dropped off.

I went to pick pear, apple and peach leaves. I washed the leaves, then put them in the dehydrator. I jammed the leafless stems in a planter. I picked hymns for the band for Sunday. I jotted notes, then ate ham.

I went to the chapel for band. When I realized I had left my music in the driveway, I went back for it. We played through the hymns and then songs for Talent Night. I put a stick in the rod pocket of the Communion quilt.

I came home and mowed the lawn for 45 minutes. I worked on my blog. I watched a video on turning aspirin to dinitro-something. Lots of work. But I wish I could do the first part where he distills two bottles of aspirin into pure salicylate.

I made tea, and we watched TV. I took the leaves out of the dehydrator and put them in labeled bags. I put new leaves in the dehydrator along with some jars of yogurt-to-be. I watched some Call the Midwife and went to bed

Voter information becomes public

 

Sunday

I got up at 8, did some Sudoku and brushed my teeth. I rinsed the sprouts and stirred the vinegar and watered the plants. I checked e-mail and looked for fruit tree leaves online.

I made cheese squares, then Chris gave me a massage. I ate fiber gel, read e-mail, then made and ate breakfast. I got dressed for church.

I took cheese squares to the chapel and left them in the back. I put the hymn music on the stand. Jenni sat with me. We sang praise songs, then later I read the scripture readings. Chaplain gave the sermon. We played the hymns, then he gave the blessing.

I thought we were done so I was talking to people when he started gathering us into a circle for Communion which he had forgotten to do. So we had Communion. Then we chatted among ourselves. When I headed to the back to get the cheese squares, Anca came over quickly to get a few and then Bryce came over. He looked at me, then at the cheese squares, then at me again. I got the message. I put the cover on and handed him the container.

I called Michelle to come to the sauna. I called Steve to turn it on. I went home to change and check e-mail. I went to the gym and met Michelle there. We went into the locker room and Jenni showed up. We went in the sauna and chatted for over an hour. We were all upset about the letters we got saying that our voting info and addresses would become public information as of sometime in May. Then we got out and I rinsed off and redressed. We walked outside to our cars and I saw the crabapple tree had suckers. So I stripped some leaves off of one and drove home.

I washed the leaves and put them in the dehydrator. Chris had supper waiting for me. I filled a bowl and signed into the game. We chatted first then Chris read the particulars of the situation and we found ourselves in a most wonderful castle with drinks, food, massages, etc. Of course, while we were having dinner with the host, he got a message that someone he owed a favor to required proof of our demise. So we played that out for the rest of the game.

After the game, it was raining, so I looked for my keys to put my windows up, but they were not down as I thought. I unpacked my sauna bag. I worked on my blog while Chris helped Michele answer questions on her taxes. Then I made tea and we watched Criminal Minds. I went back to looking for fruit leaves and finally went to bed.

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?
