Sharing with her neighbors

Friday

I got up before 8. I got ready for the day. I texted Casey. I found some blank paper and went to the chapel for Math Morning. I unlocked the doors and turned on the lights. But no one came. Casey and I talked. I texted Saronna and they were having a rushed morning.

At 10, I went home, then to the swap shop to pick up some requested items. I went to 610 and brought in the trash and recycling bins. I delivered the swap shop items to the lady next door. I cleaned, and got interrupted. A lady came for boxes, then Gary came over and I asked him about grilling at the garden. Then Michele's neighbor came over looking for a bookcase.

I went home for breakfast, ate partly outside in the sun. Later I added to the shopping list. We went to the commissary for what they had. They did not have Peeps. We came home to unload, then went to Tooele. We shopped at Luckeys and Melanies. Her shelves looking bare. Then we went back to the base listening to book on CD. I did not fall asleep.

I had a bite to eat, then went to 610 to clean for an hour. Kids nearby were having a lemonade stand and selling cookies and muffins. They came over to ask me to buy something. I just gave them money since everything they had contained sugar. I moved all the stuff in the house that I didn't want to the garage. Then I invited their parents to come look through it. I called Janet but she didn't answer. John came over to get the rolling unit for Michele. I finished cleaning the windows in the door and the sliding glass door tracks and went home. Janet called back, so I told her the garage code and to go look.

I went home and made supper. My wired internet stopped working while I was listening to a podcast on Netanyahu. Chris said I needed to reboot or switch to wifi. I rebooted.

Erynne texted that she could help plant the bulbs tonight. There wasn't a lot of daylight left, so I left supper in the toaster oven and went to the garden. I got a rake and a shovel from the shed. She arrived with a shovel. We raked back the hay on my garden and made a row to plant the bulbs and tubers in. But it wasn't enough so we made another row. I showed her where the rest of the bulbs were planted and found more that had already been dug up. So we made part of a third row and planted those. The water hasn't been turned on yet so we just put some hay over them to hold the moisture in. Then we talked about greenhouses heated by compost.

By the time I got home, it was 8:30. I texted Casey that I would be late. I ate supper and filled a bottle with tea. My computer still wasn't talking to the internet so no hints. I got there about 9. Both kids were still up.

I played the game, driving the big hulking machine, then navigating tunnels, and finally the lava flow. However, I got stuck in the colossus. I tried to look up hints with my phone but all I could see were instructions to pay attention to the background. I stared at the screen for a long time. I wanted to go home but Casey said I had to stay since I came late. Finally one hint said the background was in the lava maze. I had to cross the lava patch again, then found it. I wrote the hint down, then reloaded the game so I wouldn't have to cross the lava field again. But after using the hint (which worked), some Nazi's came and it led to Indy's death.

I exited the game. It was well after 11. We chatted just a bit more, then I went home to find Chris was still up. I jotted notes for my blog and posted for yesterday. I noticed that all my Waterfox tabs had closed. I tried to get them back, then went to bed.
