A long and frustrating day

Monday

I woke up to find Chris was still in bed. He hadn't gone to work. I got ready for the day, made fiber, etc. I drank a quart of fortified water over the course of an hour. Chris laid on the couch.

I read e-mail, then went to Housing to schedule an inspection for 638. I went over there to look. I wiped up some flour that the rodent left. I tried to get a hold of Jamie to ask about the final shelf, but she didn't answer.

I went to 612 to clean for 90 minutes, then went home to drink the fiber gel. I made more supplements: 2 days of minimum and 5 days of normal. I made breakfast, ate while reading e-mail. I kept calling and still no Jamie. I activated the test kit that came in the mail last week.

After breakfast, I scooped out two pickled eggs as usual, except that there was only one egg left. So I searched the freezer for eggs. There was a frozen bag of them. I put them in hot water to thaw.

At 2 I went to the inspection. I was disappointed to see that the floors were dirty. Had we tracked in that much? But it passed inspection. I mentioned the missing money and they said to ask at the Housing office if anyone signed out a key. I went home for my key (completely forgetting the eggs), then went to Housing to return my key and see if anyone checked out a key about the time the money went missing. No one had.

I went to Keli's RV to clean. The dogs were there so I cleaned downstairs. Then her son came home and took the dogs for a walk while I cleaned upstairs. She left me a gift bag so I took it with my cleaning supplies. Her son was sitting outside so I invited him to band.

I went home. I put the thawing eggs in the toaster oven. Then I went to 612 for another hour of cleaning. When I got back, I ate the eggs and discovered that some of them were in a plastic baggie inside the freezer bag. Sigh. Then I had to run to band.

Keli and Saronna met me there. Then Mrs Popken came with her daughter. I wanted to play Sleigh Ride but it wasn't in Keli's book. So she got another book from her car. It had Sleigh Ride, but in a different key. Sigh. We played through the hymns for Sunday. Then we got out our book of broadway tunes. But I didn't have mine, so I got out the flute version. That didn't work because I couldn't drop an octave and change clefs at the same time fast enough. So then I played off of Saronna's book.

Afterward, we discussed flags and ribbons for use during the praise songs. I turned on the tree and turned out the lights so everyone could see how awesome it was. Then we all left and I locked the door. But when I got to my car, I realized the keys were not in my pocket. I went and tried all the doors of the chapel and they were all locked. I figured as much but had to check. I called Michelle and she said Dispatch could open it. So she called them and I waited. They came and unlocked it. He accompanied me in and watched me retrieve my keys. Then they had to fill out a report. Sigh.

I was going to go to Michelle's house to pop out the gopher marbles. But I was too tired now. I went home. I put my broadway band book in my music sack. I ate the rest of the fiber gel. Chris told me he took 2 grams of vit C every 6 minutes like I had said and it made him nauseous. I said you used the powdered C, right? And he said no, the packets. OMG. He must have taken 6 or 8 of them and each one is the equivalent of 10 grams because they are liposomal.

I worked on my blog. I made and ate a carrot salad. Chris went to bed early. All he did all day was lay on the couch and sleep or watch TV, so how can he be tired enough to go to sleep now?

I texted Michele and she said it snowed too much for the carpet people to come so they are coming Wednesday, which will delay their trip. I'm not sure what the new plan is. I read from the second Hunger Games book, which made my back feel better. Then I got ready and went to bed.
