Planting the peas

Monday

I got up soon after 7. I started getting ready for the day in the kitchen. Chris came home to change for some kind of perimeter tour. I made fiber gel with amendments including vinegar. That completely changed the texture. I checked e-mail. I looked for old e-mails to delete. I called Jamie and asked her to clean the one room apartment. She was delighted to do so.

I started listening to an interview on all things fascia and breathwork. I did the arm and shoulder exercise routine. I drank half of the fiber gel. It had a weird flavor with the ACV. I started making breakfast. Michelle called and we talked for a bit, then she had to go.

I finished breakfast and ate it while continuing to listen to the fascia interview. I headed to the apartment to pick up the linens. Saronna called from Joanns to ask what kind of stabilizer she should buy to keep on hand for sewing class. I picked up the linens and brought them home. I continued listening until Jamie came over. I gave her the money from the last house, and the key to the apartment. She also took the bulbs that I was supposed to plant, thrilled to have them.

I resumed listening. Then I went to ACS to drop off the linens and Jenni's art picture. I talked about having massage people come to Dugway. I went to the library to get some books and the next season of Longmire. Then I went home. I sat outside for awhile and read a book. I walked to the post office to get mail and came home with two boxes. I opened the boxes and put the stuff away. I listened to more of the interview.

The inspectors called to say a man almost passed inspection and could I come by and quote to finish up? I already had a contract and envelop on my clipboard, so I just grabbed it and headed over. I passed the garden which looked remarkably different without the fence. I pulled up at 620. Bobby showed me through the house, pointing at window sills, floors and the oven. I quoted him $60 and he went to get cash. I filled out the contract and he came back and signed. I locked up the house and we all left.

On my way home, I went up to the garden and made sure my hose was completely within the limits of my garden. Then, driving down the street, I saw a magnetic sheet. It must have fallen off my car on the way over. It was soaked.

When I got home, I looked up a recipe for seed starting mix. I mixed up two batches and filled my trays. Then I used some compost to plant peas in the wooden planter and a strawberry in a pot. I went inside and had some cheese squares. Chris came home from work.

I went to the chapel for band. Everyone came but Jenni. We played through the hymns and several Broadway tunes. Keli brought 4 dozen eggs and we each took some. The kids packed up their toys and turned out the lights. Then we all went home.

I finished some videos from earlier in the day. I brought the young tomato plants inside. I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched the next season of Longmire. Then, since it was only 9:30, I finished my tea and checked e-mail.

I read too long and went to bed after 11.
