Durian

Friday

I got up at 8. I got ready for the day. Chris left for the office before 9. Then I went to Math Morning. I worked with Moira and Casey worked with Sophia. At 10 we packed up and went home. I peeled eggs and made a pickling brine. I went to 627 to clean for an hour. I was home by noon. I made up a week's worth of supplements. I made and ate breakfast and read e-mail.

When Chris came home, I finalized the grocery list. He cut up a durian fruit. It was the consistency of avocado, but sweet. I pulled out the seeds and put the pulp in the fridge.

We went to the commissary, then stopped to fill 5 gallon jugs of water. We put those groceries away and went to Tooele. We shopped at all the usual places then came home and put the food away.

I started to read e-mail. Michele came over for supper, said John wasn't feeling well. She stayed to talk. Chris went to his game night. She stayed till I said I had 20 minutes to write my blog before I had to leave for my game night. Then she left and I worked on my blog.

After posting, I filled a bottle with tea and magnesium. I quickly reviewed my game notes. I went to Michelle's house. Casey and Cedric were watching a presentation about Legos. Casey put the Indiana Jones video up. Then Michelle called and wanted to talk about her daughter's entry into the art contest. Michelle thought it was controversial. We all discussed it and said Isadora should do what she wants with it.

Then I played the game. Cedric helped at first then he went to bed. I got really stuck when the ship went in the airlock and everything was dark. Casey looked up a walkthrough and it turns out you have to walk to the right in the dark until the small lit part is almost off screen.

Anyway, the Nazi's came and took Sophia. So Indy was on his own. He found all the clickable stuff and tried this and that. He was not able to open the door until I got another clue. Turns out the metal rod with an opening becomes a torch if you put an orachalcum bead in it. So things went better, at least until he ran into a Nazi and lost the fight. I had to reload the game and start again from that point – which meant getting the ship into the airlock. I saved it again just before going into the maze.

There were Nazis patroling the maze but for the most part Indy was able to avoid them. He found rooms of hidden things. Then all of a sudden I realized it was after 11. So I put Indy in a safe corner and shut down the game.

I went home to find Chris was still up. We had a long chat about Michelle. Then we went to bed.
