I got up after the alarm
went off. I checked my e-mail, and started an audio. I exercised,
and laid in the sun. The sun is more reliable before noon. I boiled
some slices of ginger, then juiced the remaining vegetables. I drank
the juice, and started making breakfast, packing food as I went. The
ginger water boiled away and I noticed it was burning. I heard an
interview with Dr. Brimhall on functional medicine while I ate
breakfast, and meditated. I boiled the last egg so I would have food
when I got back. I checked in with Delta online. I read the rules
on baggage. I did not know that you can bring your Christmas tree as
checked luggage, but you laptop must be a carry-on.. They
recommended I be there 75 minutes before flight time. I printed my
boarding passes. I observed the sprinkler timer click on. And I saw
that input hose was leaking at faucet but stopped when timer clicked
on. All the water went through the shortest hose, so I had to
partially close the splitter to fill both hoses. I counted almonds
and walnuts and brazil nuts for all the days of my trip. I put my
sprouting sweet potato in a pitcher of water. I had to tweak the hose
timer system because the water from the splitter only comes out of the
hose with the lowest end. That took way more time than I wanted to
spend. I started laundry, and stacked the dishwasher. I swept the
floor, and collected the garbage. I juiced the lemons, putting the
juice in a bottle in the fridge. I mixed my breakfast spices
together to save space in the suitcase. I fed my plants their
mineral water and made sure they were well watered. I folded 2 loads
of laundry and brought in the mail. I wasn't happy with the leaking
outdoor faucet, but was able to tighten it using some rubber shelf
liner. It might be dripping ever so slightly, but I can live with
that for two weeks. I sat for a few minutes to rest and meditate
because I felt anxious. I made up 17 days of supplements, and
prepared some meds, leaving most behind in case they are taken away
away at security. I swept patio with a broom just because it felt
good to see it look better. I took out the trash, but it turned out
to be too early. I put onion soup in containers in the freezer, and
ate the meat left on the lamb bone. I started the dishwasher. By
then it was 8:30 and I still hadn't packed any clothes. I rolled up
the windows in my car and locked it. I went through my purse looking
for things I did not need or that would alarm the TSA people. I
could not find my packing list, so I printed another one. I remember
one year just packing all my black and white clothing and being done.
But when I tried it tonight, there wasn't a comprehensive pile.
Anyway, I finally got clothing selected and turned my attention to
how to pack the food in amongst it. I also had to decide what my
carry-on will be and what I can pack in there. I wanted to talk to
Chris but he did not answer skype. I waited and then he got online. We talked, but not much because I was so tired, and weepy. He told me to go to bed now and finish in the morning.
* This is how I propped one hose to be level with the one uphiill.
