Preparing for a freeze

Monday

I got up around 8. I got ready for the day and practiced Sleigh Ride. I read messages. I looked around the house and online for black chunky yarn to make spider legs. I called Jamie. I ate fiber gel, then went to clean for 90 minutes. Some men came to replace the motor in the swamp cooler and got debris on the floor. When I finished my part, I packed up all my stuff and left.

I went home and had lunch. I made more breakfast mix, then finalized my Swansons order. I looked at Rife machines online. They come from Germany so shipping is expensive.

I put two sprinkler heads in the car and went to the garden to get the third one. I rolled up the hoses. I packed straw around some squash plants. I went to Housing to schedule an inspection, and returned the sprinkler heads to Self-help.

When I got home, I picked some greens and sliced them up. I put supper in the toaster oven. While it heated, I woke up the old computer. I scanned a hymn, cleaned up the copy, and printed it out 3x on the same sheet of paper and still couldn't read it.

I ate most of supper, then hurried off to band. None of the kids came. We played hymns and Christmas music. We took out the ones that were nobody's favorite. Michelle came late and sang along. I asked Caleb to make a percussion part to Sir Duke. I asked Keli to find a pedal part to the Thanksgiving songs for the bells to play. Michelle carried my trombone and music satchel out as I turned off the lights and locked the doors.

I went home. I was surprised to see that Chris had brought in the tomato plants AND the tower garden. I finished supper. I listened to Sir Duke on Youtube. I posted to my blog and made tea. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. I looked up one of the actors. I went on to read other e-mail. Chris went to bed. I stayed up to cover the plants that are still outside. I listened to a podcast while piecing a puzzle, then went to bed.
