I woke up in the dark to go pee, and had trouble falling asleep after that. I may have dozed on and off. When I got up, it was 15 till 9. I hurriedly brushed my teeth and got dressed. I filled a bottle with water and headed out to the chapel for Math Morning.
Moira got there on her bike just as I walked up to the door. We walked in and proceeded to the fellowship hall. All the chairs were on the tables and she helped me put them back on the floor. Then the rest of her family arrived. Wilhelm sat beside me and Moira sat in front of me. Wilhhelm said he had a present for me and he gave a quarter. So I said I had a present for him and I gave him a key I found at the house next to him when I cleaned. I tried to keep him on track for the rest of the hour.
After they left, I locked up and went home. I read e-mail and messages for 20 minutes. Then Chris said he had a meeting at 11 and could I go buy some Tums and ice pops for Michele at the commissary when it opened. Ok, sure. I read a little longer, then I looked up the active ingredient in Tums: calcium carbonate. I had a whole bottle of that. So I had made some peppermint tea for Michele. I tried to pour some of the calcium powder in it and it came out too fast. She tasted it and said it was too strong. So I took it to the kitchen and heated some water to refill the mug. Then she drank it and almost immediately seemed to feel better.
She asked me to buy an Asian pear and Chex. John wanted chicken soup. So I went to the commissary. When I got there, the doors were all open. I went inside and it was dark and no one was about. I walked toward the far wall and people came out of the back. The manager said the power was out and the generator did not come on. But then the power came back on. So I shopped and checked out.
When I got home, I put away the groceries. I cut up the pear for Michele, but when I took it back there, John said she was asleep. So I worked on my breakfast. Chris came back from his meeting. I read and ate until 2. Then we gave up on thinking either John or Michele might want to go to Tooele and we left.
We listened to the book on CD. I almost fell asleep, but I had to keep shifting the case under my head to keep it from falling aside. Then Saronna called me. Finally we got to Luckey's. We shopped, then I walked to Melanie's while Chris checked out. I got a few things there and paid with cash. I thought about going to Joanns for felt, but needed more floss too and wasn't sure of the color.
We went to Macey's next and then back to the base. We almost finished the last CD of the set of 12. We brought the whole thing in the house with us to finish it. We unpacked the groceries. I checked messages and listened to some interviews. I looked for heart-shaped felt cookies for the next sewing day. Chris heated supper for me and for himself. John made a bowl of chicken soup and Michele ate most of the pear slices.
I worked on my blog and got ready for Game Night. Chris called off his game night because he wasn't ready for the campaign. Michele and John called off their game night because they weren't feeling well. So I prepared my game notebook and a bottle of amended water. I put some sumac in a small container for Michelle.
I drove to her house. I gave her the sumac and explained how to make tea. Casey had the game up. I started at John's last save. As I entered each square, I paused to draw a pic of it, attempting to make a map. But sometimes the little man got attacked and died., or walked off into another square. After awhile, I gave up on that and looked for the gnome. Michelle read the letters while I typed them in. When I finally got it right, he left me some beans and I went to another square and planted them. A beanstalk grew. But every time I tried to climb it, I fell down. I went to the fairy godmother to get her blessing, then back to the bean stalk. Still no luck. So then I found the big bird and it carried me away and dropped me somewhere near a hole. I fell in the hole. There was a rat and I couldn't figure out what to give him.
By then it was 11, because of the time spent reestablishing the game after it crashed. We chatted a bit more, then I went home. Everyone was in their room. So I watered the plants, and shut off the phone and router and went to bed.
