Entering volunteer hours for December

Sunday

I got up before 8, having slept pretty well. I found myself crying. I went to the kitchen to prepare the morning drink and fiber gel. Michele came out to see me. I told her how I cried when we left her behind in Korea and now I have her back. I also hinted that the skirt she was wearing had too much fabric in it. But she insisted that even though she put extra in, that it was to make her stomach look smaller by making her hips look larger. Then Chris came out and we discussed other things.

Eventually John came out and we discussed the future. Michele made oatmeal for the two of them. Chris prepared a roast of beef and put it in the oven. Then he took a shower. Then they all decided to walk to the clinic where Michele will be working and see how long it takes. I decided not to go because it was freezing outside.

While they were gone, I melted three chocolate bars and dipped dehydrated sweet potato sticks and frozen bananas in it. I left the tray of them outside to harden. I also steamed 7 eggs and bathed them in ice water. Then peeled them and added them to the pickled egg jar. I had to take out some of the juice. I added back more vinegar.

They came back from their walk as I was cleaning up in the kitchen. I started making breakfast. Chris made ramen for them for lunch. I finished breakfast and got dressed for church. I put some cheese squares in a container, then took that and my trombone to church.

When I got there, I left the container in the back. I talked to Jenni and Janet. Jenni was telling her that the vitamin C protocol took away all the pain she had with her flu. Then I went up front to assemble my trombone. The chaplain got the service started and we sang three praise songs. Then he gave the sermon and afterward, we ladies played two hymns. After the service, the chaplain told me that the Christmas Eve service had 31 people, which was the largest attendance since he has been here that wasn't pitched to people not of Dugway.

Keli paid me. We left all left the church. I went home and changed clothes. I checked e-mail. I read through all the blogs for December in order to enter my volunteer hours for the month. I think they are due on the 15th. I noticed there was a day missing. Chris took the beef out of the oven. He also had made asparagus and mushrooms. There was leftover rice. I paused reading to eat, then continued so I could finish by 5 for the game.

So the game started a little late till I was ready. Then Chris gave a synopsis of last week's adventure. Then we fought ROUS's and orcs today. We ended the game a little early because we were about to get into another fight and some of us didn't want to start what we couldn't finish tonight.

Afterward, I worked on my blog. They ate brownies. Michele asked for shampoo so I gave her a shampoo bar. I posted for band tomorrow and made tea. They hid in their bedroom while Chris and I watched two episodes of Atlantis. Then he went to bed and, since I was sleepy, I got ready and went to bed too. I asked John to turn off the router when he was done with it. I don't know if he ever did. I got up to turn off my phone, then went back to bed and slept.
