The gopher has landed

 

Saturday

I got up at 9 after having a bad session of RLS during the night. I tried lots of things – was it the vit C that finally worked? Chris was still at church. I puttered around doing the every morning stuff. I used the red light for 15 minutes and found there was only a page or two left in the book I was reading.

I went to the 3D class. It was much smaller than last week. Afterward, I checked out a book. I went home and made fiber gel. I read outside. I made and ate breakfast.

I went to chapel for sewing class. No one came and the book turned out to be one I have read recently. So I pulled weeds from the church flowerbeds. Wendy came by to help with sewing, but we talked and then she went home. Before 4, I gave up and went home.

Chris was making ham soup. I read some e-mail, then laid in the recliner and actually took a nap. When I got up, I read more e-mail. Then I got a bowl of soup and somehow it tipped into my lap. I had to run to the bathroom to get the hot pants off. Chris started cleaning it up. I put on clean pants and finished cleaning. He made me another bowl of soup and I ate it outside.

Just then, John and Michelle arrived. Chris fed them soup as well. I joined them in conversation. Then just before 7, I went to the chapel to open it for Project Night. I set up machines and cutting boards and an iron. Jenni came and claimed one machine. John and Michele came with their own projects. Then the Clarks came with their four children to make the shopping totes. Wendy came to help. Cedric and Casey also came with their own projects. Wendy and I cut fabric for the totes. We had the children do the straps first, then the inner bag and the outer bag. Only Moira finished. Other people left early. Jenni helped me clean up. It was after 9 till I got home.

I saw Casey had dropped off a dead gopher, still in the trap. I wrapped it in a plastic bag and left it on the porch so no animal would run off with it in the middle of the night.

I made tea. We watched Criminal Minds. I posted to my blog with an ice pack under my elbow. Then I went to bed.
