My slide gets professional help

 

Monday

I woke up at 5 to use the bathroom. I think I woke Chris up and he went as well. But I went back to bed, while he went to prepare chicken – but it wasn't thawed enough. I got up before 8. I went through my morning list. I set the gopher traps.

Just before 10, I went to Rod's house. I cleaned baseboards and ozoned one of the bedrooms. Then I went to the garden and then home. Michelle called to say they had dropped my slide off at a music store. The store needed an hour to unclog the slide and was going to charge $60. Sigh. Ok.

Chris had cooked all the chicken. I put on my suit under my clothes. We went to the pavilion by the pool. We waited for other people to show up. A few did. Some even brought food. Chris had to go to the commissary for forks. I talked with Janet and Karen. I rocked Janet's baby. So cute!

It was after 2 when Chris took me home. I ate a grapefruit, then went back to Rod's house to clean more baseboards and to mop. I also worked in the bathroom that Isadora supposedly cleaned.

I got home a little before 5. I stairstepped through the last tapping presentation from yesterday. Everyone signed into the game. Chris kept them occupied until I finished. Then I made breakfast for supper and we played the game. We were attacked by bad guys and we fought them off. End of story.

Afterward, Chris and I went for a walk in our neighborhood. I went through the two latest tapping presentations, only stopping for the tapping parts. I looked at my Facebook messages, then worked on my blog. We watched TV, then retired to our computers. I went through the tapping meditations and went to bed.

Second game night - better than the first

 

Sunday

I got up before 8. I went through the morning list except for practicing. I watered the yard in addition to the plants. I made more spice mix and more breakfast mix. I ate fiber gel, then read outside. I came in to make and eat breakfast.

Saronna texted me that the rugs were working and she could use a third one. So I picked one out and had Chris drop it off at their house. Just as he left, Michelle came in. She had a sign up sheet for people to say what day they could bring a meal to the Clark kids. She wanted me to take it to the chapel.

We chatted and then she left. Soon Chris was back. I finished breakfast and got ready for church. I took the sign-up sheets and the cheese squares.

I drove to the chapel. I left the cheese snack and the sign up sheets on the back table. I told several ladies about them. I assembled my trombone and put the hymns on my music stand. The service began with the chaplain playing three songs on his guitar. I did not know any of them. They were not hymns.

I chatted with the chaplain after church. I went home and tried to catch up on e-mail. Chris made mashed potatoes. Michele and John came over. Rod called and we set a date for an escape night. Then the four of us walked to Gary's house with the mashed potatoes.

I wasn't expecting so many people. Gary put the food out in the kitchen. People walked around the countertops with plates and got food. I ate at a table in the diningroom with Michele and John and Mindy and her husband. Gary had a smoothie machine and what was in it was really good.

Later the four of us walked back to our house. John helped me level up my character for the game tomorrow. Then they left. I went to the garden to water, then to Rod's house to move the ozone machine and put the little stuff I found in a bag for someone to pick up and deliver to him.

Then I went to Michelle's house with my outer slide and some brisket that I got from Gary. Casey fashioned some piano wire into a hook and got some of the paper towel out, but the rest was stuck. Michelle and I sat on the back patio and watched Casey start the grill and cook chicken and hotdogs. They offered me some, but I was too full.

Then Casey put up the Indiana Jones game. Indy was still stuck in the large room with the moving platform. He died over and over again as I tried to make the jump. But eventually I made it. But the next jumps were just as bad. Casey was able to help and finally Indy got back up to where he started. Then I took over and made a great deal of progress.

But it got late, so I exited the game. Michelle made a strong drink of garlic cloves, ginger root and cayenne. She shared a bit with me and chugged the rest. Her face was priceless! Then she went to bed. Casey stayed up to talk. Then I went home, worked on my blog, and went to bed.

Clue

 

Saturday

I got up on time, went through the morning list. I tried to clean my trombone slide, and the paper towel got stuck in the tube. I checked e-mail. Chris gave me a coconut oil massage. Later I took a shower and used the new hair oil that Shelley sold me. I went to Rod's house to try some new cleaning products on tough spots. Then I turned on the ozone machine and went to the garden. I picked some peppers, and watered the far tomato plant.

I went home to make breakfast. Chris steamed a beet I picked last week. I ate while reading online messages. I tried to search ways to get a paper towel out of a trombone slide. Not many results.

I went to the chapel for Sewing Class. No one showed up except Wendy who came to help. We chatted for a long time. Then she went home and I went to Rod's house to reset the ozone machine.

I stopped by Self-Help. Butch was talking to Richard. He had extra fruit from the farmers market. He gave me plums and a cantaloupe. When I got home, I ate the cantaloupe. Chris made Cornish hen for supper and I ate that, too. I continued my search. I talked to Michelle. I texted Saronna that I could drop off some runners to help with noise in the house.

I went to the chapel and set up for Project Night. I vacuumed in the sanctuary and under the cushions on the couches in back. I put the vacuum away and went to the fellowship hall to find Casey playing a video game and Cedric on a computer. Casey pulled up Tetris and I played. But Michelle called and wanted him to come home. So they packed up and went home. I packed up from sewing class. As I was leaving the building, the chaplain was coming in to get flyers for Revival. We chatting for quite some time. Then we both left.

I went home. Chris was folding laundry. I saw a Facebook message from Saronna accepting my offer of runners. So I drove over there and left them on the porch. When I got home, I folded the rest of the laundry. We put it away and dressed the bed with clean sheets. Then we sat in the livingroom to watch the movie “Clue”. It was entertaining. I worked on my blog and listened to a tapping presentation on sleep. But my stomach was still working on the cantaloupe and I had a hard time getting to sleep.

Cleaning with John

 

Friday

I got up on time, feeling like I could use more sleep. But no RLS. I went through the morning list. I watered the plants and set the traps. I went to Rod's house to clean at 10. John joined me at 10:30. He did a lot in an hour, a lot of things that I can't reach without a stepladder.

I was home by noon. I prepared and ate breakfast. I made a shopping list. We went to the post office. Chris sat in the car while I went to pay Shelly. Lara was just leaving and the three of us talked. Chris and I went to the commissary and brought groceries home. I wanted to go to Melanie's for their Labor Day sale, but there was nothing I needed and I had other things to do.

I went to my garden and found that birds have been eating my cherry tomatoes again. I pulled off the black netting and re-did the configuration to make it harder for them to get into. Then I went to Rod's house to meet Isadora.

She cleaned bathrooms while I did windows and baseboards. Then I took her home and was home myself by 5:30. Chris got ready for gaming and left for ACS. I ate supper and checked e-mail.

I sewed a fabric cube and took a pic. I went through two tapping presentations, skipping the talking part and concentrating on the tapping part. THEN, I remembered to post the cube to Facebook for Sewing Class and to work on my blog.

I got ready for Game Night. I went by the chapel to put the cushions on the couches and made it nice for the Catholic service tomorrow. Then I proceeded to Michelle's house. I gave her some garlic and cayenne capsules. Casey had the game up. It was easy to pick the ammo and medicines I need to buy with the treasure found. Then I played the game till I got to a point where I could not make the required jump. Casey tried as well. I resolved to look it up.

Before I left, she gave me a container of kimchi fried rice. I took it home and put it in the fridge. I looked up the impossible jump and it certainly seems like the walkthrough has better jumping capability than my game. I went to bed.

Looking for a house

 

Thursday

I got up on time, having slept hard through the night. I went through the morning list and read the Chapter for today. At , I opened the chapel for Bible Study. It ran long. We talked about needed a place for Saronna's kids to go during her surgery.

I got a call from Michelle and went outside to take it. When I got back, they had disbanded, but a few were left. I set up the ozone machine and turned it on when they exited. I went home. I called Jack to see if we could rent a house for a week for Saronna's family while she gets brain surgery. He said no, then told me he would talk to Chris and get back to me.

I went home for breakfast. I started watching The Highwire. Jamie called me from Germany. We talked until I had to leave for a sign-over at 1. I went to 403, signed papers and chatted with the resident and Bobbie. When I got home, I called Jamie back and we talked till just after 2. Then she hung up and I went to 644 to clean for 4 hours.

I went home. Chris took a brisket to Gary. I filed and ironed a gopher ball. When he got back, he put meatloaf in the toaster oven, I watered, then came in and ate supper.

I picked up the ozone machine from the chapel. I went walking with Michelle. We talked about our frustrations. When I got home, I started another Sudoku puzzle. I made tea and we watched TV. I asked Chris how we get to 'yes' and he told me. Then I worked on my blog and finished another tapping presentation.

Mower needs repair

 

Wednesday

I got up before 7:30, feeling like I hadn't slept at all. I did a few morning things, then prepared for coffee morning. After 4 rounds of meditation, I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. I mopped and vacuumed. I laid out in the sun. I used the steam sauna, then took a shower.

I ate yogurt, then checked e-mail. I ate egg salad. I went to the post office to check mail, then proceeded to the chapel to move the ozone machine. Finally, I went to Self-Help to discuss the mower. He said he would stop by after work.

I went to the garden, then Rod's house to get things soaking and set out the router. I went home, chatted with to Chris. I listened to a podcast.

The Self-Help guy came by to look at the mower. He replaced the filter which had fallen off. When he started the mower, it made quite a racket. He said he'd have to order a new chute. We chatted. I noted that the sprinklers never came on. I put the mower away.

I went back inside, and jotted notes to my blog. I went outside to water the bare spots. I posted to my blog and made tea. We watched TV. As I left the livingroom, I felt like I had stepped on a piece of glass. Chris couldn't see anything in my foot. Later I pulled a splinter out of my foot, but in a different spot. Hm. I cleared two tapping presentations, and one meditation, then went to bed.

First sign-over in 3 months

 

Tuesday

I got up before 8 when nature called. I worked on the morning list. I went out to water plants and deal with gopher mounds. I also cleaned up the sticks and dirt on the sidewalks. Ok, not all the way to the border of our property, but I have to save some energy for later.

I spent an hour entering volunteer hours into VMIS for August. I went to the chapel to move the ozone machine to a new spot. I went to the library for books and a movie.

When I got home, I made and ate breakfast. I walked to post office for the mail. I laid out in the sun and read. Later I went to a sign-over on Pinyon.

On the way back, I stopped at Michelle's house for a chat and for the art that Isadora made for me. It was after 5 when I went to the garden to fertilize and water.

I went home. I ate fiber gel and made up supplements for the week. I ate soup for supper with hardboiled eggs in it 'cause there wasn't much meat.

I mowed the side yard and part of the back. I stopped when the mower made a terrible noise that I didn't understand. I put it back in the shed.

I listened to presentations from the Tapping World Summit. I worked on my blog, then made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. I looked up some of the actors. I finished the presentations, then went to bed.
