Didn't sign for the house

 

Monday

I got up around 7, having gone to bed late. Only a short bout of RLS. I started the morning list while Chris was taking a shower. He brought in the milk and eggs, then left for work. I heated half of the milk and let it cool while I watered plants outside. I heated the second half while I read by the red light. I peeled some eggs and put them in pickling juice, then hardboiled another batch. I washed my wrist brace and put it outside to dry. I went by Housing to schedule an inspection for 206. I also picked up a heavy package of nuts at the post office.

At 11, I went to the long house on 3^rd street. He showed me all the things they had already cleaned. He called to delay his inspection time so he could do more and I suggested that he pay me by the hour to help him. He agreed.

But I wasn't ready to start. I went home to change clothes. I made a quick breakfast and ate it. Then I went to the Keetch room for the promotion ceremony. But instead of ceremony followed by food, it was the other way around. I stayed till 12:30, but still no ceremony. So I congratulated him and headed home.

I changed back into cleaning clothes. I took two buckets of cleaners and a vacuum. I went to 3^rd street and started cleaning the kitchen. He was cleaning the remaining bathroom. By 3 I had done the fridge and the stove and the cabinets, but not behind the fridge. I went to the inspection for 206, passed it, then back to 3^rd street. He was cleaning behind the fridge. I cleaned the sides, then he slid it back in place. I took a sponge and walked around the house cleaning dirty spots on walls.

Then the inspectors showed up. So I packed up my supplies. The son helped me carry them to my car. Bobbie mouthed 'Is it clean?” and I replied “Mostly”. I went home and carried stuff inside. I ate the nuts and dried fruit that usual accompany breakfast. I went through e-mail and some links.

I read outside. I picked hymns for band. I packed my good trombone and headed to the chapel. I unlocked it, turned on the lights and assembled both trombones. But no one came. I waited till 20 after because one lady can't get off of work in time. But no. So I went home.

I listened to part of a podcast on exercise while Chris heated some spinach quiche for me. Later I went out to water some gopher mounds. Out of 5 sets of mounds, I flushed out two gophers. 40% success rate. I got out the mower, but the battery died immediately. Hm. I brought it in to recharge.

I worked on my blog. I made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds, I looked up some of the actors. I watched a video on exercise, then went to bed.
