The upside down cake

 

Sunday

I got up at 8:30, not having slept well. I worked on a Sudoku puzzle until I realized I had messed it up. I started on the morning list. After practicing, I went out to water the plants and set gopher traps. But it was too hot to stay out long.

At 10, I went to the garden. It seemed to be wet from the watering at 9. I added soil to the garlic because they seemed so low. I noticed the tops of the onions were gone. When I got home, Chris gave me a coconut oil massage and we snuggled. Then I got up to whip up a batch of cheese squares. While they baked, I took a shower and threw on some clothes. I made and ate breakfast. Then I put the cheese squares in a container and went to church.

I left the cheese squares in the back. I greeted the few people who were there and assembled my trombone. I put the music on the stand. No one else came, so we had a service which was more like a Bible study. He quizzed us about Ephesians and we discussed it. Then the musicians played two hymns. We had communion after that. There was conversation subsequently. I walked out with the cheese squares, still conversing.

When I got home, I peeled the hard boiled eggs and put them in picking juice. I read e-mail and messages. I changed clothes and went to Michele's house to pick up the natto. She also gave me a piece of the pineapple upsidedown cake that didn't rise. I took the piece home and shared it with Chris. I put the packages of natto in the freezer except for one, which went in the fridge.

I read a book for awhile and fell asleep. Chris woke me up for the game. Our intrepid gang was asked to deal with some trolls and we got into a fight. But there was so much off-topic discussion that we didn't finish the fight.

After the game, Chris and I went to meet John and Michele for a mile walk. Then we stopped by the garden where I filled up a 5 gallon bucket of water outside the fence, hoping the deer would drink and leave our plants alone.

When we got home, I made tea and we watched Criminal Minds. Then we folded the laundry and made the bed. Chris turned in and I finished the Sudoku puzzle and worked on my blog. I went to bed.
