Last night I sat in the dark, tapping
and getting up now and then to add to my list of things I want to
discuss with Parker – if she ever answers the phone or calls me
back. I laid down in the tent, but like last night, I left the tent
in the middle of the night to drink and go potty and then fell into
bed until morning. I stayed in bed a little late, then got up to
vacuum my computer fan ports because the fan makes so much noise.
Then I turned on the laptop and the router. I also vacuumed the
bathroom, hallway, and part of the den. I drank several glasses of
lemon water. I killed a roach crawling on the counter top. Then I
locked the dishwasher and plugged sink to stop others from coming in.
I washed three water bottles and the water pitcher. I played an
audio, while I exercised. I saw the meter man come by to read the
meter. I wasn't completely dressed, so I hid. But I was glad to see
him, because it means we don't have a smart meter. I ground coffee,
and boiled water and drybrushed. I did a detox, then poured out the
coffee grounds. That is when I realized that the kale I planted
yesterday never got watered. I watered it hoping it wasn't as dead
as it looked. I got dressed, packed a gym bag, and filled three
water bottles. I took a bag of Dvd's and a bottle of coconut water
to post. I waited in front of the gym for Denise. When she arrived,
I followed her to the women's lockerroom and sauna. I put on my
bathing suit and put everything else in a locker. The sauna was
small and private so we talked in there. We stayed a little long,
about 40 minutes. We came out to cool off and finish our
conversation. After she left, I went back in for a while, tapped,
then took a shower. I got dressed, and drove to the library to drop
off the DVD's. When I got home, I put fish soup in a bowl in the
toaster oven, then realized that I never got breakfast. So I made
breakfast, ate it and then ate the fish soup. I finished an audio
from this morning and another one. It was hard to hear over the fan
noise, but then later it quieted down. The second audio was on the
danger of smart meters. Not only is there a risk of dirty
electricity, and pulsed radiation, but also the potential for the
meter to send information about what electronics are used in the home
and when, possibly even what channel you're watching. This is info
that can be sold to third parties. The risk is even greater as many
appliances are going online. I went downstairs to pull some fabrics
together for the last row of the red altar cloth. When it was time,
I grabbed my choir folder and tablet and headed to church. I guess I
didn't need the tablet because Shannon was there. She has been gone
since January. We practiced 4 songs. Then I stayed after practice
because Jennifer wanted advice on how to hem her daughter's concert
dress. The school had just given the dresses out and the concert is
next week. It was a multi-gored a-line dress, and Jennifer only
wanted a temporary hem since the dress is supposed to be worn for the
the next three years. I recommended tape and Mary suggested
stitchwitchery. We also looked at taking it up in the shoulders
instead. There was not a good way to do it. When I drove home, it
was dark. I called up an audio by Jack Canfield on my laptop and
took it downstairs to listen to while I worked on the last row.
Chris skyped me and it was loud enough to get my attention. I
brought the laptop up so we could chat in comfort. He kept it short
because he was tired. He said there would not be a time change
there, so when we in the states 'fall back', he and I will be on the
same time schedule. I posted to my blog, hoping to make it through
the night in the tent.
