Long talks

Tuesday

I got up after my first two alarms went off. I washed up and got dressed and brushed my teeth. I took probiotics, etc. I read some e-mail. I ordered some phosphatidylcholine. Alfred got ready and went to Tooele for a prescription. I went cleaning at 211 at 9:30. When I was nearly finished, I called Jamie to come over and get her stuff. When she did, she helped me carry my cleaning stuff to my car as well.

I went home and changed clothes. I put two hardboiled eggs in my purse. Then I met Ginger at the Community Club for lunch. Chris said to order the salad and it came with pieces of chicken, so I didn't need the eggs. Micheala was there, too, so we talked about the potluck on Thursday. When we were done eating, Ginger gave me a gift bag. It had the nicest Bible in it: large print, concordance, annotated, special features, etc. She told me about the difficulties she had getting it. She wrote my name and her name in it, along with today's date – ironically Chris's birthday.

She had to go, so we left. I went to the library to get eggs and check out another book. Anca was there and said they were having a surprise potluck for the chaplain after church on Sunday. Then I went to Housing to schedule inspection for 211. I scheduled a preliminary inspection for 60C in response to Housing's request for a completion date. Both are on Thursday.

I ate some nuts and talked to Cecily. Alfred came back from Tooele. He had a little trouble with the prescription, but the mission did get accomplished. I sat outside and started reading the new book. I jotted notes for my blog. I read e-mail. Faye called and we talked for a long time. Al and I looked at my vacuum hose but didn't see a way to fix it. I went to the garden to plant sprouted potatoes. They looked a little baked after sitting on the back porch. There was some water coming from the garden faucet, but it had no pressure behind it. I watered them, then put the hose in the middle of the garden and left it running.

I went home, arriving just as Chris and Al did. I read e-mails. Cecily talked to me about peas and tomatoes. She and Chris started working on supper. Cecily wanted a gravy boat so I searched through the china cabinet to find one.

I made fiber gel. Michele and John came over later with a cake. Then we all sat down to eat. We had beef shoulder and sugar snap peas and roasted small potatoes. Cecily hardly ate anything, but when Michele cut the cake, Cecily asked for a small piece. Chris handed out ice cream and Cecily had like 3 scoops. It was a really good chocolate cake that Michele made.

They left. Shannon came over to deliver a plant. She stayed to talk, which was really nice. Finally she had to go. We went back inside to find Cecily in her nightgown. She went to bed. Chris and Al and I stayed up to talk. Then Chris went to bed. We kept talking till almost 11 when Al went to bed. Then I worked on my blog before turning in.
