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.

Power outage

 

Monday

I got up at 7:30. I did Sudoku, then started the morning list. There were some big mounds in the back yard to take care of. And others in the side yard: not so big, but I could not find an open tunnel. I also watered the yard.

I practiced and picked hymns for next Sunday. I ate yogurt and added milk to some of the jars which I put in the dehydrator to ferment. I read a book by the red light. I posted for band. I peled three fists of garlic and made a brine to cover them. I made up supplements for the week.

I made and ate breakfast, then read e-mail and listened to podcasts. I went to the library for large copies of the hymns. I stopped by Self-Help but Richard wasn't there. I went to the garden to water, weed, and cover the tomato and sweet potato with netting.

When I got home, I watched Indiana Jones walkthroughs. They made me sleepy. So I read a book outside.

I heated leftovers in the toaster oven. Chris came home from work. The power went out.  Lightning struck the substation.  I met Keli at the chapel and we played through two hymns by the light from the windows. Then we were going to leave, but the rain hit hard so we sat and talked until it ended. There was a really bright rainbow afterward.

I texted John and he said come over. So I went over to the apartments, and he changed my oil and filter. We talked, and Steve came over and joined in. Eventually it got dark outside so we all went home.

Chris and I talked in the dark livingroom until the power came on. Then I made tea and we watched TV. After that, I worked on my blog. I read other things and listened to a podcast, then got ready for bed.

Planning Revival week

 

Sunday

I got up at 8:30. I went through the morning list. I watered and fertilized the plants outside. I checked e-mail, then made a batch of cheese squares. Later I made and ate breakfast and got dressed for church.

I put the cheese squares in the back of the chapel. I went up front to assemble my trombone. The chaplain played some songs on his guitar and had the kids sing along. Then we greeted each other and the service continued. He talked about Isaiah and the revival that he has scheduled for two weeks from now.

After the band played their two hymns, he announced a meeting to plan the revival week. So several of us followed him into the fellowship hall and he explained who was coming to help and when and how we are going to feed them.

After the meeting, John gave me a ion machine and we discussed using it in the chapel to disinfect the nursery and the janitor's closet. Then I drove to his apartment lot to change the oil, but I had 10W-30, and he said my car takes 5w-30.

When I got home, I read e-mail, ate a grapefruit, and changed clothes. I put leftover cheese squares in the dehydrator to crisp. Chris heated leftovers for supper. I signed into the game. We played and chatted. It rained and the lightning started fires on post.

After the game, we went walking with John and Michele. But we didn't see any fires. I stopped to check my garden. Something had eaten the sweet potato leaves and two of my cherry tomatoes. Guess I'll have to cover them with more netting.

When we got home, I ate soaked chia seed with blueberries. I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched TV. I checked e-mail, I took the cheese squares out of the dehydrator and put them in the fridge. I put the egg money out for tomorrow. I looked up how to pickle garlic, then got ready for bed.

Michelle and Michele

 

Saturday

I got up early, thinking it was an hour later. I went through the morning list. Chris went to mass and came home. It was after 10 by the time I noticed. He gave me a coconut oil massage. Later I took a shower and got dressed.

I went to Self-Help to return the post hole digger. I secured a deal on a lawn mower, to be delivered Monday. I went to check the garden, then headed home. I made and ate breakfast. Jack dropped off two large zucchinis.

I took my cleaning supplies and went to Tina's house. We chatted about quilts and stuff. Then I dusted more of her impressive cookbook collection. I mentioned that Chris wanted beer bread, so she gave me a book of recipes that all use beer. I had forgotten the yogurt, so I went home and back with the yogurt and one of the zucchinis.

Back home, I read e-mail until Michele and John arrived. We ate what Chris cooked. I went to the chapel for Project Night (which I forgot to post for). I started cleaning the kitchen walls. Michele and John showed up. I helped her with the dress she was making and she sewed the elastic which became unsecured in the shorts I was wearing. Michelle and Casey showed up. She played Mario while I cleaned the coffee machines. We chatted. Michelle told Michele about the RenFaire and some other dress-up events.  Michele offered to help Michelle's daughter make a gown.  At 8:30, Michele and John left. The other Michelle stayed till 9. We packed up and walked out together.

I went home and made tea. We started watching TV, then stopped to have a discussion. We finished the show and dressed the bed with clean sheets. Chris went to bed while I stayed up to work on my blog.

Purslane

 

Friday

It was a rough night, not sure why. So I slept until 8:30. I went through the morning list. I was watering outside when the bank called to ask if I wanted to move funds to a CD because of the higher rate. Why yes, yes I do.

I read e-mail. I made and ate breakfast. I walked to the post office to get my hair cut and to pick up the mail including a package. I walked home and unpacked the box. I read more e-mail. Chris came home from the office.

We made a list, then went to the commissary for groceries. There was not enough left on the list to go to Tooele. After unpacking the groceries, I read online. Then I read a book outside. It was so relaxing. When it became uncomfortable, I came inside and kept reading,

I watched walkthroughs of the Indiana Jones game. I ate supper. I went to Self-Help for a post hole digger. I took it to the garden to dig up the wire-covered sticks that I put in. I also watered and pulled a few weeds. I came home and took yogurts out of the dehydrator. I looked up the video Richard recommended. I listened to part of a podcast, then worked on my blog.

I got ready for Game Night. I picked a bunch of purslane and rinsed it really well. I went to Michelle's house to ask her to freeze dry it. She chatted with me while I played. Most of the evening I spent trying to jump onto a pounder. I finally did, but then I had to jump off of it onto the second level. Finally Casey took the keyboard and futzed around with it. He figured it out and got to the second level. Then I was able to guide Indy around to pick up treasure and a med kit. Casey had to do another jump for me and Indy picked up more treasure and another med kit.

By then, it was 11, so I saved and exited the game. I said my goodbyes and went home. Chris was already in bed, so I went through my bedtime routine and climbed in beside him.

I Can Only Imagine 2

 

Thursday

I got up after 7:30. I went through the morning list. After watering the plants, I put on gloves to level a gopher mound and set the trap. I took off the gloves, washed my hands and stirred honey into some yogurt to make a dip. The yogurt was cold, so the honey just kind of balled up.

I got to the chapel by 9. Wendy had brought fruit and cupcakes for Eryne's birthday. Diane had a gift and card. Eryne was late. When she arrived, I got the yogurt dip out of my insulated bag. We gnoched on the fruit and cupcakes. (I just had fruit). Then Tarah arrived. We read through chapter 39 and discussed just a bit. We collected prayer requests and prayed.

Eryne and Diane had to leave. I started cleaning in the kitchen. Diane came back with Bill and they helped me get stuff down and wash it. Bill did the tops of the fridge and freezers. By the time I got home, it was 12:30.

I turned on The Highwire and made more breakfast mix. Then I made breakfast. Then I ate while watching The Highwire. Later I laid out in the sun and might have fallen asleep for a short period of time. Then I watched some podcasts.

At 5, I walked to the post office for mail. Nothing worth bringing home. I walked back. I put on pants and drove to the Community Club. Michele and John were just coming out with a pizza. I met the others upstairs to watch a movie called I Can Only Imagine 2. We had to wait for Eryne, then Karen started the movie. It was good and we all cried at times. Then we split up. I went to the garden and found only one plant didn't get watered. So I watered it and went home.

Chris had cooked fish for me. I ate that while catching up on e-mail. Michelle and Casey stopped by. Casey and Chris talked outside while I talked to Michelle inside. She brought me pumice stones. I gave her mimosa pudica seed and some bowel cleanse formula.

After they left, I made tea and we watched Criminal Minds. Tuvoc was in it. Well, Tim Russ. Then I read some more messages and remembered my blog. So I posted before I went to bed.

Chair exercises

 

Wednesday

I got up at 8, waking from a dream. I finished a Sudoku puzzle, then got out the coffee morning box. I made hot water and coffee. I watered all the plants and reset the traps. I exercised and read. I did four rounds of meditation. I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen.

I read out in the sun, then sat for a steam session. I showered, rested, and got dressed. I ate yogurt, then read e-mail. I made egg salad. I read Telegram messages. I shredded a zucchini and made zucchini kimchi.

I mopped the kitchen floor, then walked to the post office for mail. When I got back, I looked for a bag of grass seed but could not find it. Also could not find the UV wand. I posted to my blog.

At 7:30, I went to the gym for chair exercises. Jenni had requested it and Michelle agreed to lead it. It was just the three of us, which was good since the gym only had 3 chairs. After a late start, Michelle took us through all the exercises in her book, twice.  Jenni believes that she will lose weight if she does these exercises every day for a month.

After some ensuing conversation, I went home.  I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I looked up some of the actors. I went on reading until 11, then went to bed.
