Power outages

Sunday

I don't know when I got up because my watch wasn't working. But I had slept well. I did the usual morning stuff and then checked e-mail. Chris read on his laptop too. Later he gave me a massage. Then we each took a shower. I got dressed for church. Michele told me not to wear the belt that goes with my dress. I mixed up a batch of cheese squares and put them in the oven. Later I took them out and cut off the crusts (for me). I think Chris started the laundry. He put chicken and bacon in the oven to roast.

I made and ate breakfast. I read messages and articles. I listened to recordings of the praise songs for today. Chris wanted some cheese squares for Anca. So I put some in a container for her. I also put some in a container for church. Then I took my trombone and headed to the chapel. Once there, I left the cheese squares in the back and took my trombone up front to assemble.

Keli took the kids down the hall to practice. I talked to several people. Then the kids came back and lined up. Keli introduced a song and it appeared on the screen above. While we sang, the kids did motions. It was very nice. Then they sat with their parents and we sang two more songs. Then the chaplain gave the sermon. At one point the power went out and the slide disappeared. He continued to preach without his mike. In a few minutes, the power was back on. When he concluded his sermon, he invited us up to play. We played two hymns and he closed the service. I chatted with band members, then others. Finally the chaplain and I walked out together. I was glad to have boots on because of the snow.

I went home and changed clothes. Chris was gaming online. Michele and John were in their room, probably on their phones. I read some online, then sliced up several banana peels for the compost. I jotted notes for my blog.

I read messages and saw that someone wanted to get into the swap shop. So I put on boots and went over there. It was open and Jenni was there with the people. I talked to her for a bit. Michelle texted me that she was in the sauna. So I told Jenni. Then I went home to change into my bathing suit. I drove to the gym and got in the sauna with Michelle. We chatted and Jenni came in. So the three of us talked until Michelle's phone alarm went off. Then we got out, got dressed, and headed out. Jenni gave me a bag with a torn sheet in it so I could use it as fabric in sewing class.

When I got home, Chris, Michele and John were setting up for the game. The power outages had taken down the internet. But by the time I changed clothes, it was back up.

We fought two dragons for a couple hours, then proceeded to the nearby town where we were celebrated. As we headed back to the capitol city, we encountered more aggressive creatures. They said they were paid to kill us.

The game ended because there wasn't time to complete the fight. Michele and John went to their house to unpack more boxes. Chris and I went to the post office building to fill two 5-gallon jugs of water. When we got home, we folded laundry and dressed the bed. Then we watched two episodes of Atlantic. John and Michele came back and presumably went to bed.

Chris went to bed, but I stayed up to read e-mail. Then I posted to my blog, shut everything down and got ready for bed.
