Create an AI avatar?

 


Wednesday

I got up at 8. I prepared for Coffee Morning. After the tapping and meditation, I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. I was washing dishes when Chris and Michele came home during lunch and looked up recipes. 

I took niacin. I finished the vacuuming and mopping. I read e-mail, then made yarrow tea. I read outside, then came in and prepared the sauna. I steamed for 20 minutes. I showered, then laid down for awhile.

I answered phone and the man wanted a quote, so I scheduled one for tomorrow at 3.  I listened to a summit episode. I ate some of 5 different ferments. I made egg salad.

 Michele came home with Chris to get some alcohol and toothpicks. I watched a Mike Adams interview with an AI expert. They talked about creating an avatar that does videos for the creator. I jotted notes on my blog, then looked for a probiotic that contains a strain of bacteroides. It was a long search, and then it was mixed with other strains and very expensive.

Chris made two quiches and put them in the oven. I made tea. We watched the first episode of season 8 of Criminal Minds. Later, I read Telegram messages. I posted to blog and went to bed.

New craft project - stands

 


Tuesday

I got up at 8:30. I did all the things I have decided to start each day with. I stirred the pineapple vinegar and checked my ferments. I added more milk to some and put some in the fridge. I read e-mail and messages. I started a ferment of l. reuteri in coconut milk for Michelle.

I tried on a pair of pants from last night. I decided to baste it even smaller. I made two bottles of yarrow tea, then drank one. I got in the sauna for 20 minutes. I think I did sweat more this time. When I got out, I cleaned up and took a shower and hung up the wet wash cloths.

I ate fiber gel, then read outside in the sun. I made and ate breakfast. I checked e-mail. Saronna messaged me that she wasn't feeling well. I peeled more eggs for pickling. Chris said he wanted to make quiche for same event.

I walked to the post office to get the mail, then walked home. I tasted some of the SBO ferment. It smelled bad, but tasted ok.

I listened to several audios by James Corbett, and nearly fell asleep. Chris came home, heated soup on the stove for me. I placed a mirror on the shelf in front of me so I can look out the window easily to rest my eyes. I ate supper, then put on an episode of Beyond the Diagnosis. As I listened, I read posts of OneGoodThing and played the Wordle game at the end of each.

I worked on a wish list of items for chapel to buy. I looked into making table top stands for bells music and decided a black display board would make 4 nice ones. I had to order it from WalMart. Sigh.

I worked on my blog. I made tea. We watched the last episode of Season 7. It went twice as long as normal. Then I watered the tower garden and we got ready for bed.  I did not sleep well.

Ramping up the ferments

 


Monday

I got up after 8. I brushed my teeth in the unusually low sunshine. I exercised and practiced. I made fiber gel. I brought in the milk and eggs from the front porch. I heated half of the milk to 180, then cooled it to 100 while reading e-mail. I made slurries of different probiotics and put them in the dehydrator to ferment. I heated the other half of the milk. Some of it became cheese. The rest got stored for yogurt later.

I made up supplements for the week. I ate fiber gel.  I sat outside and read in the sun. I came in and started making breakfast. I compared supplements on two different websites and placed two orders.

I went to the garden with an old ferment that was questionable. I poured it under the leaf layer.  I stopped by the post office, then went home. Another old ferment went bad so I poured it on a part of the flowerbed where almost nothing grows. I steamed two batches of eggs while I peeled the previous eggs and put them in pickling juice.

I went into my sewing room to work on alterations. Chris came home and made his supper. I went to the chapel to set up the bells. Only the band members showed up. We played through all our hymns till Easter. That's when John and Michele showed up. But they just laid on the tables till Elizabeth arrived. 

The band played on. Then Kim came with her son. She had one knee strapped to a rolling unit. But she joined the bell players. When I finished with the band, I joined the ringers to see how it was going. John asked me to play Kim's part so she could hear the song. So I did. Her son knew how to read music, so we sent the music home with them to practice. Then we put away the bells. Elizabeth helped me clean up the music and table padding. Then she and I walked out together.

I went home. Chris had my dinner in the toaster oven. I read e-mail as I ate and listened to JP. I deleted e-mail. I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds.  I read some e-mail, then went to bed, forgetting to eat some sleep yogurt.  But I slept anyway.  I woke once in the middle of the night, then slept through till morning.

Time change

 


Sunday

I got up at after 8, then realized it was really after 9. I did all the usual first things. I checked e-mail. I made cheese squares. I read messages. I listened to the praise songs. I made and ate breakfast. I washed up and got dressed. I put half the cheese squares in a container and went to the chapel. I put the snack in the back and walked up front to find my trombone and music, but the music wasn't there. I was certain that I brought it last night, but rushed home to find it and bring it to the chapel.

I assembled my trombone. We sang three praise songs. Cpl. Popken gave the message. It was not based on Genesis 10, which I had challenged him to do. The band played two hymns. Then he dismissed us. I told him that I had all the hymns planned through Easter and he asked for the list. I called Michelle and asked her to call the gym and turn on the sauna.

I went home and compiled the list of hymns by date. I wrote them in a odt file and took a pic with my phone. I sent it to Caleb, Keli and Popken. I read some e-mail, then got ready for the sauna. I made yarrow tea. Chris put fix-a-flat in my tire and told me to drive 4 miles. So I went up to ACP2 and back, to the gas station, down Valdez again and back to the gym. I went inside, signed in, then went to the sauna. It was empty, but after awhile, Michelle joined me. She had a lot to say, so I listened. I drank my bottles of yarrow tea. Not sure if I sweated more or not.

It was after 4:30 when we got out. I rinsed off and got dressed. We talked some more, and then went home. Chris had my supper in the oven. I ate the fiber gel first. We all chatted in the game. I ate supper and the play started. We went looking for a prince that we wanted to stop from oppressing his people. Astrid decided the only way was for him to die. So we got in a fight and we won, which we always do. I did not die, but I did go down to 0 hit points. So in the next round I had to heal myself. But it all worked out.

After the game, I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds.  I watched The MAHA movie to the end, then found out it was only episode 1.  I didn't want to stay up any later, so I loaded another episode that sounded good and hoped it would still be there in the morning.  I did some lymph exercises and went to bed.

Biggest rhythm class ever

 


Saturday

Having had another bad round of RLS, I got up after 8:30 still tired. I practiced, made fiber gel, did squats facing the sun, etc.

I checked on the run-through of the game from last night. I couldn't tell what I missed, so I took pics of the screen of the control panel. I ate some of each yogurt ferment. I made yarrow tea. I started the sauna and prepared the inside. After sweating for 20 minutes, I got out, cleaned it out, and took a shower.

I ate fiber gel, read some messages, then made and ate breakfast. At 2, I went ot the chapel for sewing class. Wendy came to help. Saronna and Randy brought their kids. All 4 kids and Saronna made the hanger pocket project from the last class. Wendy helped Jedediah. Eryne came with her own daughter and project. Class went long.

Afterward, I came home and laid down. I might have slept, not sure. I heard John and Michele come over for supper. Chris had made twice-baked potatoes. I got up and ate with them. Chris started gaming with people online. The rest of us talked. Michele was too tired for Project Night. I thought I was too.

I quickly cleaned my trombone slide, then took my trombone and music and went to chapel. Janet was already there, working on the cardboard stone or Easter. We talked. She was there for Rhythm Class. Then Saronna's kids came for rhythm class. So we all did it together.

Tara and Eryne came for Project Night. The sewing machines and notions were still out from class. So they worked during rhythm class. And then I joined them. I sewed a pair of pants, but they were way too big. Eryne went home. I started to clean up as Tara was cutting t-shirts for a t-shirt quilt. We talked and then put all the stuff away and turned off the lights.

I went home. I made tea. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. This one was actually heart-warming. We made the bed. I brushed my teeth. I wrote two blog posts because I forgot yesterday. I made list of things to do or take if RLS hits. I put it in the bathroom. Then I got ready for bed. When RLS hit in the middle of the night, I tried the first two or three things, then slept through till morning.

Clean bill of health from the dentist

 



Friday

I woke up early but stayed in bed trying to do some mental programming. I did not sleep well, partly due to RLS. I got up at 8 and did my usual morning routine. I went to the chapel at 9 for Math Morning. Randy came with the kids. They did not seem interested in their math. I helped Jedediah count chairs, but he got very wiggly after half so we just went back to the fellowship hall.

It was after 10 when I called time. We packed up, locked the doors and turned off the lights. I went by the post office to check for mail, but there was none. Then I went home. I ate fiber gel and started making tea. I washed out my bowl and was drying it when it slipped from my hand and shattered on the tile floor. Not a fan of tile floors. Chris helped me clean it up.

I made breakfast. Chris went to the commissary. I ate while reading an article on the energy inside a seed. I jotted notes for my blog. He came back and we headed to Tooele. I think I fell asleep for awhile. He dropped me off at the dentist while he went shopping.

I showed them my new insurance card. Later I went back to the chair. The hygienist scheduled my next appointment, then took x-rays. Thankfully I had a packet of vitamin C in my purse. I swallowed that before the x-rays. After that, she cleaned my teeth. Later the dentist came in to check and said everything looked good. She gave me some samples of probiotics for teeth. Due to our new insurance, I did not have to pay.

Chris was waiting in the outer room. He took me to Melanie's. I had a good time chatting with the ladies there. One was a master herbalist and she recommended yarrow tea for increasing sweating. Afterward, we bought windshield wipers, then headed back to base.

When we got back, I made some yarrow tea, then went in the sauna for 20 minutes. I drank most of the tea inside the tent. I don't think I sweated sooner or more. Anyway, I cleaned up afterward and took a shower and got dressed.

I made notes for my game. Chris went to his game. I made and ate supper. I got ready for my game. I took a jar of sleep yogurt to Janet's house. She invited me in for a bit. Then I went to Michelle's house to play The Lighthouse. Casey had it up on the screen. But for awhile, there was no one in the room. Michelle was laying down. Later Casey came in and I played the game, referring to my notes. But eventually the notes ran out and I got stuck. Then Michelle came out to talk. We talked till 11:30, then I went home.

Chris was fast asleep. I ate some sleep yogurt and got read for bed. Sleep seemed near, but it still took awhile to fall asleep.

Getting a project ready for sewing class

 


Thursday

I woke up before 7:30 hearing Chris get ready for work. I'd thought he'd left, but then he came back to change his suit because his pants split while he was scraping the windshield. He dismissed the idea that he needs bigger pants.

I got ready for the day, practiced, etc. I went to Bible study at 9. It went long and there was lots of chatting afterward. I told them about the best two nights of sleep I got from the b.l.1714 supplement.

When I got home, ate some of each ferment. I read e-mail for awhile. I ate half of the fiber gel, then read more e-mail till noon. I made breakfast and put on the Highwire.

Afterward, I looked for a sewing project and made a stuffed shamrock. I took pictures and posted them. I walked to the post office to pick up the mail. I finished the last tapping meditations.

Chris came home from work with a pizza. I heated supper in toaster oven. I found small cups to freeze yogurt starter, and I ordered them. I also looked at disposable 2oz cups but didn't order any. I worked on blog, then made tea. We watched TV. I read messages, then got ready for bed.
