Where is the paint scraper?

Thursday

I got up before 7:30 to start getting ready. Anka had asked if we could start at 8 instead of 8:30 because she had to be at the school early. So I made sure I got to the chapel by 8 even though it meant not making fiber gel. However, they were late, so I brought in my vacuum and cleaned the sewing storage room. When I finished, they were waiting in the sanctuary.

We chatted for awhile, then read from Luke. And we chatted some more. I started to clean some more, then remembered the bag. I ran home to put the bag of money and boxes out for the egg lady, but the eggs were already here. I put them in the fridge. I went back to the chapel to clean the couches. Then I took my vacuum to 60C.

While I was having trouble opening the door, I got a call for an emergency signing, I had a contract in my car so I drove over to the apartment. The occupant was moved out but the cleaner didn't come to the signover and they couldn't get ahold of her. So they called me. He said he was quoted $150, but I charged him $350 because the tub and sink were stained and dirty. I had to call Jamie for her Venmo info and he paid that way. We signed the contract and we all left. I went to 208 across the hall to get my carpet cleaner and carry it downstairs to my car. Later I would realize that I should have moved it to 211.

Michelle called me and we talked about the hairdresser and other topics. I texted Chris that the lady was trying to get someone to talk to about getting access to the beauty shop. Chris asked if she could call him, so I texted Michelle to give her the number. Then I went to 60C to clean for an hour.

I went home for breakfast. I watched the Highwire. I paused it to sit out in the sun for 20 minutes or so. I finished The Highwire. I checked a few other things, then went back to 60C to clean for 2 hours.

I needed my paint scraper and thought it must be at 108. So I called Jamie and she said it was open. I went there to get stuff I had left behind. There wasn't much and no paint scraper. I went up to 208 to look again. Still no paint scraper. I went home to drink and potty, and pick up some plastic bags.

I picked up some ammonia and vinegar and headed to 211 to get things soaking. Jamie was there outside so we talked, but then Casey called. So she and I walked upstairs to 211. The call ended with me agreeing to have game night tonight instead of tomorrow. She brought me some pumice stones, the cheap ones. I got the toilet ring soaking in vinegar and the tub soaking in ammonia.

I went to 60C and worked for another 35 minutes. Then I went home for supper and to prepare for the game. I went to Casey's house with cheese squares for Michelle and a tomato plant for him. I had a bottle of tea for me. Cedric stayed up to watch me play Dr. Brain. I worked on programming a robot to pick up stuff. I also spent time solving the Expert level of a modified version of Tetris.

At 11, I went home. Chris was still up. I got ready for bed and we both turned in.
