Wildfire

 

Friday

I got up before 7:30 with RLS. I started the morning list. I watered the plants. I found a gopher in one trap. The other trap was covered in dirt. I reset the traps in other places. I watered a hole. The gopher ran out and never came back.

I practiced. I checked the cooler and found ground beef had been delivered. I read e-mail. I warmed up the old computer so I could print out a file. I updated the file, then put it on a thumb drive. I plugged it into the old computer, but was never actually able to get it to print. I walked to the swap shop and threw inside the stuff someone left by the door. I laid out the shoes. I checked our post office box.

When I got back, I posted for the swap shop. I made a flyer. I tried printing again, then sent the files to his work e-mail. Chris went to the office to print the flyer and document.

I read e-mail, then made and ate lunch. I moved the tall trap. The old computer still not printing. I tried making a copy of the flyer Chris printed. Eventually it did, but it wasn't a great copy. I watched part of the tapping summit. I made a grocery list. We went to the commissary and got nearly everything. So we didn't go to Tooele. I texted Tina about cleaning tomorrow. I worked on my blog.

I ate fish for supper. I walked to the swap shop to lock up and stayed to clean up the toys some kids had left.  Two plumes of smoke could be seen in the distance - evidence of a wildfire 2 miles away.   I went to the garden to check on the water. I put dryer sheets on little sticks all around the plot to ward off deer.

When I got home, I prepared for Game Night with a bottle of tea and a baggie of cheese squares. I drove to Michelle's house. She was sitting outside with her laptop so I joined her for awhile. Later I went inside to play Indiana Jones. Casey shot the bad guys for me, then I took over and explored the Nazi station. I came out with an inflatable raft. I saved the game, then went down the river and scraped a hole in the raft which eventually sank.

I left that game to play Michelle's game which was called Little Bang Story. It's a cute game. I paused it at 11, but she kept talking so I went back to playing. It was almost midnight before I left. When I got home, Chris was in bed. I got ready and went to bed.
