Unsatisfying Game Night

 

Friday

I got up around 8, having had a light case of RLS. I went through my morning list. Chris left for the dentist. I read a book under the red light. I checked e-mail, then prepared the steam tent. After steaming, I showered and put on some DMSO. I laid out in the sun for 20 minutes. Then I came in, ate fiber gel and read online.

Chris came home from the dentist. I made a grocery list and we went to the commissary. I got some tea towels for tomorrow's project. I made and ate breakfast.

Chris put the carpet shampooer in my trunk. I drove us to the apartment building. He carried it up to the second floor. I showed him the quickest way out of the building and he walked home. I started shampooing the dirtiest side of the apartment. John showed up after 2. He moved furniture to one side and then the other so I could vacuum and shampoo. He did both rooms. Then he left and I went over a few spots not covered by furniture.

I took a short break, then texted Steve about shampooing his carpet since he is right across the hall. I also texted the owner of this apartment about a few things.

Then I packed up the stuff I was done with and carried it downstairs. I went home.

I heated supper in the toaster oven while I caught up on e-mail. I calculated my cleaning hours and computed the price. I talked with Michelle. I sent her Venmo to the apartment owner and he paid her that way. She promised to pay me.

I sewed tomorrow's project, took pics and posted for the class. I worked on my blog. I put some cheese squares in a container for Michelle. I looked up keyboard shortcuts for the Indiana Jones game. I also took notes for the Lighthouse game. Then I went to Michelles house for game night.

I arrived about 9. I worked on Indiana Jones and got further than before because I knew which keys to use. But the game crashed again. So then I switched to The Lighthouse. Sadly I was unable to get the sub to move, and it was almost 11, so I quit. However, with all the conversation, it was after 11:30 till I got home. Then I got ready for bed.

Michele plays therpist

 

Thursday.

I got up after 8. No RLS, but I had a sore throat. I sipped vitamin C while I made supplements for the week and took the morning dose. I got dressed and went to open the chapel for Bible study. Bryce had already opened it. I hunted up the tickets for Dulce. Then I told them that I couldn't stay because of my sore throat.

When I got home, I opened the box that came yesterday. It had replacement figs. But those bags were inflated as well. I read with red light on my chest, then checked e-mail. I ate fiber gel, then read outside. I came in at noon to make breakfast and watch The Highwire.

At 2:30, I went to the post office and unlocked the swap shop. I proceeded to the apartment and cleaned up broken glass, then went on to clean furniture and windows and finish the fridge. I called to set up an inspection for Monday. I quit at 5:30.

I went home for supper. Michele and John came over to return a suitcase. Michele brought flan. It was very good. I added cinnamon to mine and Chris put the coffee syrup on his. They went through the movies that Rod gave me and picked out a bagful. Then Michele wanted to play couples therapist so I came up with something to start and we discussed interactions until almost 10.

They went home and I worked on my blog. It was too late for TV. We read on our laptops for awhile, then went to bed.

Cleaning the apartment

 

Wednesday

I was up by 7:30 with no RLS. I prepared for coffee morning with exercise and supplements and my PEMF mat. After meditation and tapping, I began cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen. I did some vacuuming. Then I read outside in the fickle sun.

Afterward, I checked e-mail, and then used the steam sauna at the 2.5 hour mark after taking niacin. I ate yogurt and egg salad.

I put cleaners in a bucket and went to Housing to get a key. I went to the apartment to get greasy things soaking and the toilet ring covered in vinegar. Then I went home for a vacuum and the stepstool. I went back to clean. Isadora came at 6 to clean the bathroom. It took her almost two hours. I went home to get her a mop and electric scrubber. I broke a glass shelf from the fridge trying to separate it from the frame. I tried to clean it up, but lots of little pieces went down the drains. I left the sink and worked on other things while Isadora finished up.

We left at 8. She did not want a ride home. I went home and saw Rod and Dale were still there, talking to Chris about Rod getting fired for little or no reason. I got caught in the conversation. It went till after 9.

After they left, I asked Chris to go over my arms with tape to pick out any tiny pieces of glass. He made supper and I worked on my blog. Later I made tea and we watched Criminal Minds. Then I got dressed for bed. I read through most Telegram messages, ate a bite of yogurt and went to bed.

Corraling tumbleweeds

 

Tuesday

I got up after 7:30. No RLS. I started on the morning list. I cleaned the cookie sheet and checked on the figs. I put the last jar of yogurt-to-be in the dehydrator. I ate some of 5 yogurts. I texted Rod that I would rather clean on Thursday. I sat under the red light for 15 minutes. I walked to the post office to open swap shop by request. I used steam tent, then showered and dressed.

I ate fiber gel. I read outside in the sun. I made and ate breakfast. I rinsed and ate all the sprouts because they were going bad. I walked back to the post office to lock the swap shop door. When I got back, I listened to something online and nearly fell asleep. I finished reading my book, then went to the library for more books.

I read more e-mail. After 5, I collected tumbleweeds in a 5 gallon bucket and crushed them down with another bucket. Then I had to quit.

I went to the chapel to play through some old song books with Keli. When I got home, I heated and ate supper. We went to fill the 3 five-gallon jugs. When we got back, I pulled the figs out of the dehydrator and put them in a bag.

I noticed I had a text. So I replied to it. A man is wanting me to clean the apartment that he left behind. I agreed to clean it and send him the bill. Am I too trusting? I finished my blog. I made tea. We watched Criminal Minds. Chris went to bed. I stayed up to look for special strains of probiotics. Then I also went to bed.

The fibonacci cone

 

Monday

I got up before 8, but it was after 8 till I got to the kitchen. I started the morning list. I paused it to crunch up the peach leaves and measure out 5 grams. The readings on the scale kept changing so it's anybody's guess if I got the right amount. Anyway, I blended it with the rest and put it all in a labeled bag. I put seeds in the sprouter to soak. I'll be having some of the last batch this afternoon.

Then I checked Facebook to see if they were still having the walk at the pavilion. No notice of cancellation. I drove to the gym and saw only a few cars there. I also drove past the CDC. Nope. Since there were raindrops on my windshield, I figured it must be canceled. I stopped at the post office, then went home.

There were milk and eggs on my front porch. I brought them in and poured half of the milk in the pot to heat. I used the new stirrer. I took all my ferments from the fridge and put some of each in a bowl and the rest in a large jar. I left a little in the bottom of each jar to start the next ferment. I ate what was in the bowl. I washed jars and put them in the oven to sterilize. I poured the hot milk into a half gallon jar and heated the other half of the milk. Then the stirring wand needed recharging so I had to stir by hand.

I went to the library to pick up the 3-D printed fibonacci cone. She didn't want money for it, but I insisted because Chris would want it that way. We chatted a bit and I went home, in the rain.

The milk had cooled so I added it to the almost empty jars. I filled a few more jars and put other probiotics in them, most of those went into the dehydrator to keep warm and ferment. I read my book, then made and ate breakfast. I put the figs in the oven at 200 to kill any yeast or bacteria. I read e-mail and watered the plants.

I read more from the book. I chose two hymns for Sunday. Chris came home from work, and I went to the chapel. Keli came, but late. We went through the hymns then played what we wanted because no one else came. We decided to play again tomorrow, just she and I. It's easy because I can stand behind her and play off of whatever music she has. And we both sight-read well.

I went home. I was reading online when Rod called. He wanted me to come over and talk about cleaning. So I headed that way and dropped off Michele's key. Then I went to Rod's place and he talked about how hard things are at work and he needs help cleaning. He also gave me a suitcase full of DVDs.

After an hour of standing and listening, I went home. We folded laundry then Chris talked about how hard it will be to retire. And then it was too late to watch TV. We put yogurts in the fridge, and figs in the dehydrator. I worked on my blog and then went to bed.

Fruit leaf tea - Ezekiel 47:12

 

Sunday

I got up at 8:30, still tired because of RLS. It was raining. I did everything on my morning list. I read the book for too long. Then I took a shower and steamed a batch of eggs. I made cheese squares. I ate from 5 jars of yogurt. I steamed another batch of eggs, then made and ate breakfast. I got dressed for church. I put cheese squares in a container, then took them to the chapel.

When I got there, I left the container in the back. I greeted people. I assembled my trombone and sat up front for the service. At the end, we played two hymns and the chaplain gave the benediction. After that, we talked. John came over and talked and it went quite long.

I went home and changed clothes. I ate fruit and pistachios. I put on a podcast while I tried to contain freezer food with clear plastic boxes. Was it an improvement? Maybe. I also cleaned the carpet machine and emptied the dishwasher. There were a few things added to the dishwasher.

I weighed and measured teas for the fruit leaf tea. 5 oz. each. The last tea to add was the peach and the leaves were not quite crunchy. So I threw them in the dehydrator. I blended the others together. Then I made breakfast mix.

Chris came home from his gaming trip. He heated supper in the microwave so I put mine in the toaster oven. He got on Discord and so did the others in our game. I signed in and we picked up play where we left off last week. We finished the fight and divided up the spoils of war.

After the short game, I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. Chris went to bed but I stayed up to research something online. I pulled the peach leaves out of the dehydrator and left them for morning. Then I went to bed.

3D printing and the final shampoo

 

Saturday

I got up late. I did everything on the morning list. I turned on my phone and saw the class reminder that Keli programmed. It looked like it should have sound, but it didn't. I had to swipe it as acknowledgement in order to use the phone.

I got dressed and went to the 3D printing class. Attendance was low. We discussed supports and slicing and picking options. Mindy tried to create the fibonacci spiral I was looking for. Then she found it on the Bambu website. She sent it to her home printer and we got to see it get started.3D

I stopped at the post office on the way home. At home, I ate fiber gel, then read outside. I made and ate breakfast. I packed a bucket of cleaners and went to Tina's house.

I gave her some yogurt and we chatted. I cleaned her bathrooms and we chatted some more. She showed me some quilted stuff she had made before the incident.

I went home, ate fiber gel, and heated supper. I watched a long video on natural treatments for common ailments. I cleared the last two corners of the bedroom and shampooed them. I jotted notes for my blog, then went to the chapel for Project Night.

At first I was alone in the chapel, then Jenni came. So we got out a sewing machine. She was finishing the grocery tote and I was mending two pairs of Chris' pants. Then Casey and Cedric arrived. One played a game and the other was fixing his laptop. Then Casey went home for screw drivers and came back with a pair of shoes that Michele might like.

After Project Night, Jenni called Dispatch to open the gym. She and I and Michelle went to the gym to wait for the police to open it. Then I ran off to feed the cat. I came back to the gym just as the police were leaving. Erynne joined us. We sweated and talked in the sauna for over an hour. Then I rinsed off. I went home and put the bedroom back together since the carpet was dry. I posted two blogs and went to bed.

** I forgot to post for Talent Night.  Michelle sent me video as well, but I can't seem to download that from Facebook.   **
