Game Night

Friday

I got up at 8. I greeted Cecily and took probiotics and supplements. I made a heart-shaped patch and sewed it on the banner to cover what the mice ate. Al and Cecily went to the commissary. Later I took vitamin C. I emptied a bag that a sweet potato plant had been growing in for 2 years. There were no potatoes underneath.

I made and breakfast. I compiled a grocery list. Chris and I stopped by the post office on our way to Tooele. We shopped at Luckey's. Then I walked to Melanie's to get a few things. When I came out, I looked for Chris' car and it was at Cal Ranch. So I headed that way, pausing at the dark, empty Joanns store to say goodbye.

Chris came out with a 4-way splitter but I wanted some 2-ways as well. So we went back. I picked out some baby plants and three splitters. Then we went to Macey's for a few things and headed back to base.

After unloading the groceries, I sat outside and read for 15 minutes. A study showed people lost an average of 1 pound a week doing that. I checked e-mail. I connected a splitter to the hose bib on the sunny side. I screwed on both hoses and turned on the one to the sprinkler. I set the sprinkler near the front yard and went in.

I sat at the table and talked to Al. Then Cecily and Chris brought food to the table. We held hands and said grace. Then we ate chicken, rice, salad, and broccoli. I went out and moved the sprinkler head. We chatted some more. I messaged Michelle. I worked on my blog.

I texted Casey to make sure he was still up for Game Night. I turned the sprinkler off and watered a few potted plants. I put tea in a bottle and picked up my game book. I headed over to his house. He was getting back from a 7 mile hike so I turned on the TV and the raspberry pie. He turned on the game.

I played Castle of Dr. Brain, starting from where I left off before. The robot puzzle was particularly difficult until I realized that the directions were cardinal from where the robot arm was attached, not from where the robot hand was currently located. Whew!

The other puzzles went pretty quickly until I got to the jigsaw puzzle. There was no picture to go by. It was slow going. Then I realized it was 11pm, so I saved the game and bid Casey goodnight. When I got home, everyone was in bed. So I drank my tea (which I had left in the car during the game) and took evening supplements. Then I got ready for bed.
