News from South Korea

I woke up feeling like it was really late in the morning.  But when I finally got up, it was only 8:30.  There might actually be something to this head to the North idea.  I read e-mail and exercised.  I wanted to get started on the grounding mat that I bought all the materials for yesterday.  But the roll of screening was missing.  I checked all over the house and car, so figured it must still be at the store.  I called and they said they hadn't found it but would give me another one if I came by.  While searching the house, I found my order of Vit C on the floor in the garage.  I wondered how it got delivered to that point rather than the front porch.  I needed gas, so checked Gasbuddy before I left.  The cheapest stations in town were in the scariest parts, so I chose a more expensive one sort of on the way to Home Depot.  On the way over, I noticed that most stations only advertise the lowest price of gas, not the one my car requires.  I stopped at Texaco, reorienting my car when I realized that the gas tank is not on my side.  Then I went to Home Depot and got another roll of metal screening.  I brought it home and had breakfast.  I unrolled the screen, and cut off about 2 feet.  I used foil tape to wrap the edges.  I found a piece of rebar in the carport.  I hammered it into the ground below the window.  I ran some copper wire through the window and wrapped it around the rebar.   To the other end of the wire I attached an alligator clip.  That is as far as I got.  I had to eat and change clothes (because I dropped kimchi on my outfit).  Then it was time for tai chi class.  I was early for the first time.  Class went well, although I still can't remember all the moves.  When I got back, the Jehovah's Witness ladies were waiting for me on my front porch.  Their car was at the bottle neck of the driveway.  I had to park on the grass to give them space to leave.  I told them I didn't have time to talk.  So they gave me a tract and left.  I had just had time to prepare a week's worth of supplements (including todays) before it was time to pick up Alec.  The daycare gave him a sheet covered in star stickers for going to the bathroom like a big boy.  I drove him to his house and we went in.  He wanted us to hide under blankets to surprise his mom.  I told him it was too soon.  He played with Legos and stickers.  Then we heard thunder and watched the rain come down in sheets.  We saw large mushrooms in the yard across the street.  He wanted to eat them.  Then he wanted to make a boat to float down the street in the rushing water.  He drew all over a piece of paper with markers and wanted me to paperfold it into a boat, but I couldn't remember how.  When I heard the front door, we hid under a blanket.  We 'surprised' his mother who certainly could not tell that the two large blobs on the couch were us.  Then Shannon and I talked for almost half an hour.  The rain had stopped, so I drove home with no problem.  Chris had eaten supper, so I fixed myself a large salad, and some egg salad.  Then Chris opened the 5 gallon bucket of coconut oil for me.  I scooped it into two one gallon containers.  Since I did not want to waste the oil on the scoop, I wiped it off with my hands and spread it on my hair as conditioner.  I was checking my e-mail again when Michele skyped me.  She is thinking about coming home at some point.  Her landlady is putting in a new bathroom.  I enjoyed snapping her picture with Skype over and over.  Thankfully she did not take my pic with all the oily hair.  After we hung up, Chris and I watched an episode of Warehouse 13 before he went to bed.  I put towels in the basement where we've seen water before.  Then I posted to my blog and went to bed.
