Swap Meet

Friday

I got up after 8. I made up a weeks worth of supplements. Then I got dressed and went to Math Morning. I unlocked the chapel and set up the table. Saronna came with Moira. The others were home sick. Casey came too. I found two mice in the trap and pitched them outside.

Afterward, I locked the chapel and went home. Then I went to the swap meet at the pavilion by the gym. Jenni was set up with two tables of stuff she priced and laid out. The swap shop had laid out 4 tables, and a mother with young kids was selling rice crispie treats and chocolate oatmeal cookies.

I hung out talking to people about gardening till noon. Then I helped pack up the swap shop stuff that was left. I bought a bottle of stinky perfume from Jenni to use on gophers.

I went home for breakfast. Then Chris and I went to the commissary. We unloaded those groceries and went to Tooele. He shopped at Luckey's while I went to Melanies. There was nothing left that would be at Macey's so we went back to base. We unloaded the food, then I started fermented cheese and vinegar cheese. The vinegar cheese was done in less than an hour and I strained it and put it in a jar.

I drained the hoses on both sides of the house. I filled out my ballot – it was like a take-home test and I had to look the answers up online. Subsequently, I worked on my blog and posted it. Then I filled some bottles with tea.

I took the jar of cheese and went to Game night at Michelle's house. She wasn't there but Casey had the game up on the TV. We chatted as I played. I made progress in all worlds except one. At 11, I shut it down, thanked him, and went home.

Chris was still up. His came had ended right after 10. He was reading on his laptop. I remembered the fermented cheese was still in the dehydrator. I pulled it out and sliced the curd. I stirred and strained the curds until I had them all. I left them in a sprouter to drain overnight. Then we went to bed.
