Signing for an oven, got more than I bargained for

Monday

I got up at 7:30, hearing Chris walking around. I thought he would be at work, but apparently his pants ripped and he came home to change his suit. I prepared supplements and got dressed. I drank vitamin C and mineral water. I texted Jenni and Jamie to remind them of the meeting at the swap shop.

I went cleaning at 9:30. I got a text from Revonna that the swap shop meeting was being moved to Thursday. So I texted everyone, then went back to cleaning. Texts came in saying they couldn't make it. I texted Revonna and went back to cleaning. Then she texted that the meeting was being rescheduled. I figured she would let me know the new date later so I did not text everyone.

At 11 I went to the swap shop in case anyone did show up. No one did. I picked up the mail. I went to the garden to make sure I had nothing outside the garden plot. When I got back to my car, I had a missed call. Before I could call back, a call came in. A man wanted me to quote him how much to clean his oven. So I went home to pick up a contract and headed over to his house.

He was standing with the inspectors who were not passing the house because of the oven. I quoted him $50 thinking it might take 2 hours. He didn't have cash so he went to the ATM. I chatted with Bobbie until he came back. The ATM was out of cash. I called Jamie because she has Venmo, but she didn't answer. So I called John and he had Venmo. So I let the two talk and the man sent John $70. We signed the contract and he left. I walked out with the inspector.

I went home for lunch. I ate half the fiber gel. I listened to a Zoom meeting on mental blocks to healing. After it ended, I finished breakfast and read e-mail and other messages. I unsubscribed to a bunch of lists. I went to 645 to put a pan of ammonia in the oven to 'soak' off the grease. Then I went to 627 and cleaned for an hour and a half.

I went back to 627 with my bucket of cleaners and stepstool. All the kitchen cabinet shelves were dusty and some had larger particles. I cleaned all of them. I cleaned baseboards in the kitchen. I cleaned some windows. I found hair in the bathroom cabinet drawers. So I vacuumed them out and wiped them. How did all of this pass inspection?

After an hour, I went home. I was tired and sank gratefully into a chair. I started to read e-mail and realized band was in 20 minutes and I hadn't picked the hymns yet. So I did that. Chris came home and we chatted.

Then I went to the chapel for band. It went well. Randy played along on a few songs. Then we finished up and went home. I had some ground beef and potatoes for supper. I checked e-mail and worked on my blog.

I made tea and we watched an episode of Brokenwood. I dozed off at least once. The somnolence was so strong that I fought to keep it and went directly to bed.
