Problems with chocolate

Monday

I got up around 8, but I heard my alarm at 7:30. I brushed, gargled, swabbed my ears and rinsed my sinuses. I made a quart of amended water. I could not find the camu camu powder that I have been using, so I used blueberry powder. And vitamin C and trace minerals. I sipped it while watching an interview.

I made a breathe jar out with essential oils for congestion. I left it sit for awhile because it wasn't as strong as I remembered from last time.

I tried to take pics of a video on making a potholder, but my camera keeps taking pics with a bit of movement. I don't know how to describe it. So I have to specifically choose 'portrait' to take a still pic. I tried going into camera settings to see if anything there got changed, and I saw 'allow nearby devices'. I unallowed it and then I couldn't take any pics at all. I looked it up on the internet and apparently lots of people have discovered this and are very unhappy about it. They downloaded a different app called Open Camera. I may have to do that.

I walked to the swap shop to unlock it by request. I walked back and ate half of the fiber gel. I picked two hymns about families and scanned them into the computer. I made breakfast and realized I hadn't taken the morning supplements. I ate breakfast while reading e-mail.

CJ hadn't brought me any eggs last week. I found some scrambled eggs in the freezer. I thawed them out and cooked them in the toaster oven. I read more articles. I cleaned up the hymn copies and printed them out. I played them and realized I had printed the same one twice. I printed out the other one and played through it. I took the early morning supplements.

I heated a bag of chocolate chips in a double boiler. I took dehydrated sweet potato sticks from the dehydrator. I started dipping them in the chocolate, but all of a sudden the chocolate seized up, like water had gotten in. The only thing I can figure is that it was steam from the double boiler. I put in more chocolate and some ghee.

Chris came home and heated up his supper. I threw some short ribs in the toaster oven. I finished painting the potato sticks with chocolate and did some banana chunks and then small rounds of banana mixed with coconut flakes and cinnamon.

I ate and went to band at 7. I unlocked the chapel door and let everyone in. Janet's son Bryson gave me a container of soup that his mom had made. She noticed I had the sniffles yesterday. Randy came with his trumpet. But I didn't have trumpet music and he was still relearning the notes. The rest of us played hymns and Broadway tunes. Then they packed up. I turned off all the lights and locked the doors.

I went home to eat the soup. I shared some with Chris. I worked on my blog and posted to it. We watched one episode of Atlantis season 2. Afterward, I watered the plants. Chris went to bed, but I stayed up to read e-mail. I finally got it down to 1200 unread e-mails.
