Darpa created the game

 

Saturday

I got up at 8, feeling like I hadn't slept well. I started my day with the usual list of tasks. I checked my ferments. I took samples and put them in the fridge. Chris took a shower and went to the chapel but came home again to get my key because the priest forgot his. I ate blueberries and finished off a jar of yogurt, then checked e-mail. When Chris came home, I was making more breakfast mix. When I finished, he gave me a massage. Later I got in the sauna, then took a shower and got dressed. I ate fiber gel and laid out in the sun in a bathing suit.

I made and ate breakfast. I looked into pickling eggs of different colors. I read about fermenting eggs in kombucha! I went to the chapel for sewing class and discovered I didn't have my key. So I had to run home to get it from Chris. When I got back, the Clarks were right behind me. I unlocked the doors and turned on the lights. Wendy came to help. I showed the kids how to make the eggs. Jedediah made 3 of them, sewing the last one by himself (at age 4), The other kids ran home. I talked to Randy about Magic the Gathering and he said it was invented by DARPA to keep soldiers occupied on their off time.

When I got home, I read e-mail. Chris made corned beef and cabbage. I fixed four gallons of diluted LAB and poured them on my garden. At 6 I got a bowl of the beef and cabbage and just then John and Michele arrived. We ate and talked. I went to the chapel for Project Night. I waited for people to show up. Casey and Cedric were the first. Then Moira and Sophia came for Rhythm class. I had to be very flexible to get through the class. But they did well.

They left at 8. I joined Cedric and Casey. Later John and Michele came. Then Casey and Cedric went home. The rest of us conversed, then I packed up and swept the hall floor. We walked out and I got home at 9:30.

I made tea and we tried to watch Criminal Minds, but the CD was messed up. Then we dressed the bed and put away laundry. I worked on my blog. I looked again at recipes for colored pickled eggs. I copied some to my Open Office document and went to bed.

Frustrating game night

 

Friday

I got up about 7:45. Chris was getting ready to go to the office. I did the usual first of the morning things. I made yarrow tea. Then I got dressed and went to Math Morning.

I unlocked the chapel. The kids came without any math books, but they had two math games. One was like scrabble but you have to make equations rather than words. I thought it was fun but I am not sure they did.

When I got home, I drank the yarrow tea and went in the sauna for 20 minutes. I took a shower and cleaned up. I ate fiber gel then laid in the sun – it felt so good I nearly fell asleep!

I made and ate breakfast. I made a grocery list. We went to the commissary for most of it. But they didn't have corned beef. So then we went to Tooele. Chris shopped for the beef while I went to Melanie's. They were having a detox special. I got an ionic foot soak for 30minutes. Then I made a detox tea mix from a selection they had laid out. Then I got 10 minutes with Melanie who is a master herbalist. She told me about a spike protein antibody test and also an eye wash with cayenne in it that helps vision by increasing circulation.

When we got home, I laid down. Later, I checked e-mail. I put supper in the oven. While I was eating, Angelina texted me about opening the swap shop. So I went there and cleaned it up a little. Then she showed up and looked through clothing. We talked. She left with a pile of clothes and I went home.

I made two more jars of yogurt and put them in the dehydrator to cure. I ate some yogurt and had to run to the bathroom. I got ready for Game Night and jotted notes for my blog. I prepared a yogurt starter to bring along.

When I got there, Casey was still at work. So Cedric put the game up. I had notes from watching gameplay, but doing what they did didn't work. Michelle called up a walkthrough on her phone. I watched it, then did the same thing. But it still didn't work. We chatted and I got frustrated. Finally I felt I had tried everything, so I quit that game and started one called Dr. Brain's Castle. I had played it before so I knew I could do it, even if it was hard. Michelle seemed to like it too. But it was after 11, so I saved it. She showed me her back yard. She gave me some kombucha that was too vinegary for her, but I thought it was great.

I went home and found Chris asleep. So I got ready for bed and joined him.

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.
