Finally got to see the church basement

 

Saturday

I got up before 7:30, having awoken early and not gone back to sleep. I did a Sudoku puzzle, then executed the morning list. I made a cat crinkle toy and took pics of it for the class. But they really needed a cat in them. So I copied the pic from the directions and posted that. I cut extra crinkle material strips for class. I also posted for Project Night. Then I made up a week's worth of supplements.

I went to apt 203 and cleaned for an hour. I cleaned at 207 for half an hour. I went home to have fiber gel, read in the sun and to prepare breakfast.

At 2, I went to the chapel for Sewing Class. The kids were waiting. I let Wilhelm unlock the door. Then we went inside and set up the sewing machines and notions. The dial fell off the iron and we could not figure out how. Maybe someone had dropped it? Randy went home to get some tools to take it apart. But the broken piece was inside a part that was formed as a whole and he could not get it out. So we threw the iron out and got the back up one.

Wendy helped the kids with their crinkle cat toys. They just got a new kitten to replace their old cat. So they chose to make smaller ones than the sample I made. Moira finished hers first and headed out. Randy alerted me that the routeman was in the church basement. I've always wanted to see it so I ran down there. Sophia ran with me. It was not as I expected. Not dark, or dank, or webby. And much smaller. Just a boiler room with two crawlspaces heading away from it. We did see what looked like material from a mouse nest.

We went back up and left the man to do his checking. I took pics of the kids with their cat toys, then they left. I sat and talked to Wendy and Randy, then they left as well. I reorganized a bit, then locked up and left.

I went home, then headed to 607 to rake tire bits out of the flower bed. I spent an hour, filling a trash bag heavier than I could lift. I also raked gopher mounds and picked two small zucchini.

Finally I went home. I cracked 4 eggs into a bowl, then added some squash and seasonings and cheese. I put it in the toaster oven for 20 minutes while I read e-mail and such. But it wasn't done, so I put it back in for 10 minutes and read some more. And again, I took it out to find it wasn't done. But it was almost 7. So I put it back in and turned off the toaster oven.

I headed to the chapel. No one was waiting. So I busied myself cleaning up from sewing class. Still no one. Then I called Chris and chatted with him and his father. They said Mike got hired, and by the same company that downsized him. Hurray!

Casey arrived, so Chris said goodbye. I chatted with him for awhile. He invited me to have another game night tomorrow because there is no school on Monday. Then we both locked up and left.

I went home to eat my egg supper. I messaged a lady about trading zucchini for more eggs. I watched almost two episodes of Call the Midwife, then worked on my blog and went to bed.
