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.

Hat decorating event

 

Saturday

I got up at 8. Chris was already up. I did the usual morning chores, like stirring the pineapple vinegar-to-be, but it should have been vinegar by now. Chris went to the Catholic service. I practiced and exercised. I checked e-mail. When he got back, he gave me a massage and we cuddled and talked.

When dressed, I ate my fiber gel. I collected up craft supplies that might be useful to decorate hats. I had Chris move some heavy boxes around so I could look for more. I brewed tea to feed the scoby that Michelle had given me.

Then I made and ate breakfast. Later I read outside because it was finally warm and sunny. It felt so good I almost fell asleep.

I came in and checked e-mail. I watched some videos. I posted for my blog for the last two days. I jotted notes for today. I carried most of my cleaning stuff to 211 and cleaned there for 2 hours. Then I went home to find Chris cooking ham. I helped with the garlic cream sauce for the potatoes. I texted John and Michele. They came over and we ate and talked. John LOVED the glaze on the ham.

Just before 7, I grabbed my bags of decorating supplies. John helped me carry them to the car. Saronna and her girls were waiting for me at the chapel. They helped carry bags in. I spread out the supplies on the tables in the fellowship hall and got out the hats. Several other people came, but they brought their own projects. I called Chris and asked him to bring me a glue gun that I forgot, plus a jacket. I thought he would send them with John and Michele, but he brought them himself. I was chasing down thread because it seems to have disappeared in the clean-up.

At 7:30, Elizabeth and Caleb arrived. So I went to meet them and set up the bells. When Keli arrived, we played through the two hymns for the following Sunday. Then Michele and John arrived. He laid down because he had eaten too much ham. But we got him back up so the bells could practice with the band. I dismissed the band and practiced with just the bells. After they left, I spent 45 minutes cleaning up all the hat-making supplies.

When I got home, we folded laundry, then made the bed. I rewatched a video on pineapple vinegar, then went to bed.

Good Friday

 

Friday

I got up by 8. I got ready for the day. I made up supplements for the week. I opened the chapel for Math Morning. Saronna brought her four kids. I sat with Moira and helped her go through missed problems while Saronna monitored the others.

Afterward, I went home. I prepared the sauna and steamed for 20 minutes, then cleaned up and took a shower. I ate fiber gel, read outside, then prepared breakfast and ate it.

We went to the shoppette to pick up a key for an apartment I am supposed to clean. Then we went to the commissary for the usual groceries. We also went to Tooele to get change for a $100 bill and to pick up some stuff for the hat decorating class. But the dollar store didn't have much.

When we got back, I went to 650 to finish the house and mop my way out. Then I went home. I put supper in the toaster oven. I made pickling juice and put the blue and green eggs in it. I got dressed for church. I read e-mail until the last minute, then jumped up to leave and Chris wasn't quite ready.

We walked in to the chapel late, heralded by Wilhelm who informed us that we were being waited for. The band played a hymn, the chaplain prayed, we played another hymn and sat for the service. The chaplain spoke about how Christ suffered in carrying the cross, being beaten, crucified, etc. It was graphic. There were readings. Then the band played again at the end. The service was not well attended: the chaplain, his assistant and the band members and their families. Again, we left in silence.

When we got home, we had a 'discussion' about how I handled being late. So I was late preparing for game night. When I got to Michelle's house, we chatted for a bit before I played the game. I followed my notes until I came to a part where I needed a remote that I didn't have. So I had to replay that part and asked Michelle to look up a few things. It was after 11 when I saved the game. But we chatted for another hour before I left. When I got home, I got ready and went to bed.

Maundy Thursday

 

Thursday

I got up before 8. It was raining again. I rinsed several jars of sprouts. I blended up a carrot and boiled it for more orange color for pickled eggs. I added beet juice to the red jar.

I went to Bible Study with yogurt. We chatted, read two chapters and talked about them. Afterward, I went to 650 to clean for an hour, then went home. I ate fiber gel, and read for 20 minutes. I made breakfast and ate while watching The Highwire until it glitched and was gone. I waited for it to come back on, but it never did.

I got my shoes wet pouring out SBO on the flower beds. I left the shoes to dry in front of a portable heater. I got a text for a quote so I stopped at the post office then ran over to the apartment and looked around. I texted back a price, then went home.

I read e-mail. I sliced up a pineapple and ate some, put the rest in the fridge. Chris came home from work early. He called in his pizza order. Later he went to get it. I refreshed The Highwire screen and was able to watch the rest of the episode. I wrote up my notes on the parasite cleanse. I jotted notes for my blog.

I got dressed for church. We went to the chapel at 7. The chaplain had set up 3 tables in a triangle. Pita bread and a cup were at each place. The band played two hymns, then we sat and read, and listened while he explained the last supper. Then we took a bite of pita bread and a sip of juice at the proper time. When the service was over, he asked us to leave in silence. So Saronna and I packed up our instruments but left them there and walked out.

When we got home, I ate a bowl of ground beef. I checked e-mail, then made tea. We watched Criminal Minds. Then I watched Call the Midwife and went to bed.
