Emergency bedding

Thursday

I got up after 8, relishing not having to get to the chapel by 8:30 for Bible study. I was mentally reviewing things I should tell people. I took supplements and checked e-mail and messages. I placed several orders for supplements. I carefully put away the good china plates. I made up capsules of slippery elm. I collected all the cleaning cloths I could find and put them through the wash.

I went to the library to get some wallet kits. Then GaryW came by and talked about having a talent show in July or August. From there I went to the gym to ask for a list of garden plots and their assignees. He said he'll get back to me. Then I went to House #2 to check the irrigation. The apple tree wasn't getting water, but the pear tree was. I increased the flow to where they are both getting watered.

I came home to eat fiber gel. I read a few messages, then made and ate breakfast. I started watching The Highwire. Bobbie called me because a couple needed bedding for a few nights. So I packed a bag with sheets, a blanket, towels and pillows and took it over to the house. No one was there so I left the stuff on the washer.

I came home and finished The Highwire. I looked at one of the leather wallet kits. Then instructions did not make sense so I looked for a video but could not find one. Scrutinizing the photo of the finished project, I was able to figure it out. Then I put it together with clips and sewed most of it outside.

I put it down and hopped in the car and went to Ginger's house. She and Gary were still packing. The inspectors were there. We talked a bit, then signed the paperwork. Bobbie showed me how to call up Jamie's venmo code so they could pay. For some reason Jamie did not show up. The inspectors left, and I talked to Ginger and said goodbye. Then I said goodbye to Gary and headed home.

I discovered that I only had one cleaning contract left, so I scanned it into my computer and printed out another copy. I should go to Housing and let them print for me. I finished the wallet and took a pic of it and the fabric one. I used the pic to post an announcement for class this Saturday.

At 6, I went to a house on first street to talk about a one-time cleaning. I noticed she had instruments so I invited her to band, which she didn't know about. We talked for almost an hour.

I got home at 7. I ate the last of the fiber gel. Later I had some supper and posted to my blog. I went to the garden at 8 to water and found my sprinkler was already turned on. I don't know how long it had been on, but the 5 gallon bucket at the other end of the garden had 4-5 inches of water in it. I adjusted the sprinkler head and shut it off. The garden was soaked.

I went home. I watered some plants on the back porch and made tea. We watched one episode of Longmire. Chris paused it so I could watch the automatic sprinklers when they came on. Some were doing well, others not much at all. Then we finished the episode and read another section from the bible study book.

Chris went to bed and I stayed up to read.
