EMS potluck

Thursday

I got up at 7:30. Ginger canceled our last Bible study because she had too much stuff to do to get ready for moving. Cecily was looking forward to going. So I checked e-mail. I looked at a window I had left open from last night, but I don't remember what it was.

At 9:30 I went to the garden to put straw around the fruit trees. I stopped at the gym to find out who had plot 16 so I could ask to hook to their water source. I also went by House #2 to check on the irrigation to the apple tree. Someone had shut off the water. I turned it back on and made sure it was coming out at the apple tree and the pear tree.

Then I went to 60C, just in time to meet the inspectors. It wasn't a final clean, so we got to ask questions about which things were going to be replaced or painted over. That way we know what to concentrate on. I started the self-clean cycle on the stove. They want it finished by Wednesday and Jamie said she could do it. It was after 10:30, so I just headed to 211. Some of the inspectors had gone straight over as well. We chatted until Collie showed up. Then we went through the usual procedure. I signed the papers and handed over the key.

I got home about 11. I ate fiber gel. I planted seeds in the tower garden and some other places. I asked Cecily about fixing the mouse damage to the communion banner. We agreed it should soak. So I laid it out with a wet soapy sponge on the pile of fecal mass.

I made breakfast and ate it while watching The Highwire. During that time, Saronna texted that she had to cancel our practice today. So I did not have to pause it at 2. I was going to eat the two hardboiled eggs that were still in my purse, but they had gone bad.

I sat outside and read for awhile. I went to Sherry's yard sale to get the mop I had seen before. Then I saw a pile felt and pipecleaners, so I bought those. Then I went to 60C to clean the oven, mop the kitchen floor and work on the window sill. I sprayed hyopchlorous acid on the stucco where the dogs had peed repeatedly.

I got back at 4:30. I was hot and sweaty so I took off my clothes and laid on the bed. Chris came home from work. He took the chicken out of the oven. He and Cecily packed wine and some leftovers. Finally I got dressed and went with them to the pavilion for the potluck to honor EMS workers.

Anca met me and pointed to a lady wanted to volunteer at the swap shop. So I went to talk to her and her husband. I told her about becoming a volunteer. Then we talked about hobbies and interests. I thought they might like to talk to John and Michele because he was into gaming and she liked writing fiction.

When they got up to get in line for food, I went to sit with Cecily and John. He had food, but Chris was bringing her food. I chatted for awhile, then went to get a plate. Forks seemed to be gone, so Michele gave me hers. I sat and listened to Chris talk to another John. A man told me how he treats his yard for gophers.

We went home when Cecily was ready to go. Chris went back. I read e-mail for awhile. Then someone texted me that they wanted to go to the swap shop tonight. So I went over there to unlock the doors. I was leaving, but saw her drive up so I went back in to make sure she knew the doors were unlocked. I wanted to lock them behind her but she seemed to want me to hang around so I did.

When I got home, I went outside to water all the plants. I checked e-mail, then started working on my blog. Chris came back from the potluck and got on his laptop.
