The Tyson fight

Friday

I got up before 7:30. Chris was still in bed. I did my morning routine and worked on Keli's pants. Then I filled a water bottle and went to Math Morning. I was a little early, but till I unlocked both doors and set up my station and checked the mouse traps, it was time. Then Casey arrived. I went to the sewing storage room to find fabric for tomorrow's project. When I came back, Karen was sitting at the table. So I sat and worked with her. Moira came in and worked with Casey. Saronna had worksheets for the others. But Sophia mostly entertained Jedidiah.

After Math Morning, Casey followed me home. I showed him where my major gopher infestation was. We found the tunnels. He lit and inserted two road flares, one in each. We covered the holes with jugs of water and put dirt around the bottoms to keep the smoke in. I did not see it coming out of other holes.

Then Jamie arrived to do more yardwork. Casey left and I went inside. Chris had gone to the office. I examined the fabric I had brought home. They were Thanksgiving prints that Tonja had gotten two years ago. And they were perfect for the project. I ironed them and cut a bunch of 8" squares. I also cut a pile of batting squares. I put some cinnamon EO on one and made it in to a potholder. Then I took a pic and posted the class announcement to all three Facebook pages.

Chris was home and he made lunch. Then I made breakfast. I ate while reading at the computer. Then I added to the grocery list. We went to the commissary to shop. We decided that it wasn't necessary to go to Tooele, especially since snow flurries were reported.

We put away the food. Michelle came over to bring me potpourri and I paid her for the silicon molds and milk which she will pick up tomorrow. After she left, I read e-mail for awhile. Then I found containers to put all the bags of nuts in to protect them. I used the big plastic bags that they came out of to cover plants outside from the cold.

Michelle texted asking if we had Netflix because she wanted to watch the Tyson fight. I said sure, come on over. Chris was making me supper and getting ready for his game night. Then he tried to get Netflix on the laptop connected to the TV, but it didn't work. So he pulled out the little one that we took to China years ago. Even that one had its issues.

While he fiddled and swore, I practiced Winterfest music. Then he gave up and went to his game night. I looked at the screen and it said Edge needed to restart. So I did and went off to do something else until it finished. Then I signed into Netflix and the fight came up, but it gave me an error message. Still when I reloaded, it worked.

Michelle and Isadora came over with Electra to watch the fight. I ate my supper, then worked on making a pair of yoga pants out of a skirt that I found at the swap shop. It was hard fabric to sew on. I made a carrot salad and worked on my blog. I messaged Tonja to thank her for the Thanksgiving fabrics.

I checked on Michelle and Isadora. They were really enjoying the fights. It sounded like they will still be here when I leave for her house to play Myst URU. I prepared for game night. Then I verified that they were comfortable, and I went to see Casey and Cedric. Casey was prepping the computer for URU. Cedric watched me play, then went to bed. Michelle came home about 10:40, all upset because she watched for four hours to get to the Tyson fight and it was boring. She was worried that she hadn't been polite to Chris when he asked how it was going.

Anyway, at 11 I shut down the game and said goodbye. I went home where Chris was still up. We talked and then went to bed.
