My favorite measuring cup

Saturday

We slept late. I took supplements. He gave me a massage and took a shower. Then I took mine. I packed cleaning supplies in my car. I took some veggie starts and went to the garden to plant them. I also check the irrigation to make sure it was working and at the right pressure.

Then I went up the hill to the chaplain's house to get started cleaning. I moved the cleaning stuff in. They had unplugged the fridge and moved it. So I had to push it to the nearest outlet to plug it back in. I checked all the cupboards for anything left behind. I swept the dirt to the corner of the room. I sprayed the MBath with the Dawn/vinegar solution. I put vinegar-soaked towels in the half bath to get the ring out. I checked the front porch for the package they were expecting, but it wasn't there.

At noon, I went home. I ate fiber gel, then cut vegetation for the casserole. I made and ate breakfast. I went to the chapel for sewing class. The Clarks arrived at the same time. I brought out one sewing machine. I showed them the leather wallet made from a kit, and the one I sewed as a class sample. All 4 kids wanted to make the one from the kit. So I handed out kits. I tried to explain how to do it, but I don't think they were listening. I gave them clover clips to hold all the pieces together while they sewed it by hand. Sophie read the instructions better than I did and figured out why there was so much thread left over. I had to intervene here and there to keep everyone on track. Saronna finished the one that Jedidiah started.

We finished early. I went home and checked e-mail. Just as I was about to message Saronna about practicing the hymns, Faye called. She said she mailed a letter to Michele and the post office refused it. Weird. Afterward, I messaged Saronna and she said come over. I went out to my car with my trombone and passed Michele carrying a pie she'd made. She offered me a piece.

I went to Saronna's house. We played through the two hymns with Sophia. Then we played I Will Call Upon the Lord by ourselves. We chatted a bit, then I went home. I ate the rest of the fiber gel. I sat outside and read for awhile. When I came in, I ate some of the casserole and made a salad.

I headed to the chapel with my trombone and music. But I got stopped on the way for not coming to a full and complete stop. I was just about there. I could see a car drive up. I reached for my phone to call Michele and ask her to come get the key to unlock the chapel door, but I had forgotten to bring it. I had to show my license, registration and insurance. Then I waited while he checked them. I told him that my car engine will stop if I come to a full and complete stop. He wrote me a warning ticket.

When he released me, I pulled into the chapel parking lot. I unlocked the door and went in. I set down the trombone and music in the front row. Then I went to the fellowship hall to turned on the lights and unlock the door. When I turned around, there were two young women, like 11th or 12th graders. I showed them the projects and they wanted to make the fabric one. I let them pick fabrics from the storage room. They claim to know how to rotary cut. So I gave them rulers and mats and cutters. I wrote the dimensions on the board. Michele came too, so I quickly explained the project and left her in charge.

Janet came with her daughter. I took them in the sanctuary for Rhythm class. We played from the sheet that we used last time. The daughter needed more practice. Afterward we went back to the fellowship hall. I helped the girls with their next steps and got out another sewing machine. Then I helped Leliani cut out her pieces. She and I pinned them together. For the sake of time, I sewed it together for her. I also helped the older girls with their sewing and topstitching. When they were done, I asked if they were willing to come back and they said yes.

Janet helped me pack up. Then we turned off the lights and went home. Chris was folding laundry so I helped him. He told me that my glass quart cup measure had shattered when he dropped the paring knife in it accidentally. Since I use it multople times a day to measure water, I was a little thrown. I also wondered how in the world glass that is almost 1/4 of an inch thick, shatters? Not cracked, not chipped, just shattered.

Then we dressed the bed with clean sheets. He started the dishwasher. I made tea and we watched one episode of Longmire. It got violent. Then I sat down to write my blog. Chris went to bed. When I finished my blog, I got up to go to bed, but stepping on a piece of glass changed my mind. I hobbled to the bathroom and washed my foot. But it was still bleeding. So I woke Chris up to put a bandaid on it. Then I went through my bedtime routine and went to bed.
