We got up late. I did the usual first morning stuff. I made a quart of vitamin C water and drank ¼ cup every 6 minutes. I got online and was watching a video on making a turtle mop when my internet connection dropped. Chris helped me parse it out and the problem turned out to be the cat5 cord. So he and I worked together to put a new end on it. But that didn't work and he didn't want to do the other end. He looked up cat5 cords and said we could get a 50ft one from WalMart for $10. So ok.
There wasn't time for a massage. I made and ate breakfast. I finished the turtle mop video and took some pics in case I want it for a class project later. I steamed three sweet potatoes, cut them into sticks and put them in the dehydrator.
Michele and John came by to pick up stuff. I took a shower and got dressed. Then I collected felt, floss and templates for class.
I took the stuff and headed to the chapel. I unlocked the doors, turned on the lights, and set up the space. Summer came with her two kids. I showed them the condiments we were making for sandwiches, like mustard and ketchup, mayo, peanut better and jelly. Her little girl decided on ketchup and mustard. Then Sophia and Isadora came in talking about a gopher. So I went out to see it. By the time I got there it was dead, so I picked it up by the tail and dropped it by my car.
I went back in to help the little girl get started sewing. Then another lady came and she and daughter worked on making the sandwich. Sophia made a mustard and ketchup item, then headed out. Isadora didn't make anything and I think she left a bag with a dress in it. The other lady stayed and we chatted for a while. Then she took her daughter and the project home to finish. I stayed to look through the Catholic hymnal and pick out some rhythms for class tonight.
I went home. Chris was pulling the beef ribs out of the oven. I jotted notes for my blog. All of a sudden, my keyboard stopped working. The trackpad was fine so I figured I had accidentally turned the keystrokes off somehow. So I texted Michelle. She looked up some things to try but they didn't work except for bringing up the on-screen keyboard. It was slowgoing, but at leat I could look for answers. I texted Kurt, too, but he didn't reply for some time. And then not on the topic.
Anyway, I ate supper, then sat and read a book by the red light lamp until it was time to go. Thankfully I finished the book which is now overdue. I packed up my computer and a few things, then went to the chapel for Project Night.
I unlocked the doors and turned on the lights. Leilani was right behind me. We talked and then her mother and siblings arrived. I talked to them in the chapel as we got ready for rhythm class. I walked into the fellowship hall to see it full of people working on projects. That was heart-warming. Then I went back to the sanctuary to lead class. We beat through some one-liners in the Catholic hymnal. It went well.
After class, I went back to the hall to see what the others were doing. I took my laptop to Casey. He looked up something and suggested holding the shift key for 8 seconds. When that didn't work, he told me I'd have to reboot it. And, as much as I didn't want to do that, it worked.
Then I talked to Jenni and MeryAnn. Everyone finished their project and went home except Jenni, although MeryAnn and Stirling stayed to help clean up. Finally we turn off the lights, locked the doors and went home.
It was all but 9:30. I made tea and we watched one episode of Atlantis. Then Chris went to bed and I stayed up to work on my blog post. I was feeling congested, so I was going to go right to bed, but got caught up in watching videos of a man who cleans up people's yards that are really bad.
