Hurting for Hymns

We got up at 8:30. I made and drank hydrogen water, then read by the Happylight. I checked e-mail, then washed up and got dressed for church, but with walking shoes on. We walked to the chapel, not far behind Johnnie.

When we got there, I talked to Eileen, but all too soon it was time for the service. We sang songs which were a little hard to follow. The chaplain gave the sermon and we sang one more song. Eileen said the guitar player sent a message at 1am that he couldn't do the songs requested. So we were singing the emergency fill-in songs. I said I might have some hymns on CD.

We walked home, stopping at the post office for me to take a pic of the poster about the community garden. I made and ate breakfast, then watched the Huntsville service. It was especially good, but it was the pastor's last Sunday. Starting next week, they will have a new pastor.

I read e-mail, and listened to interviews. I looked up free hymns and found a file of 200. I burned them to a CD which already had something old on it. Chris sent me his comments on the swap shop proposal. I made the changes and sent it back to him so he could send it to the medic for his approval. I also put the next track on the headphones. I put on a coat and went outside to rake up leaves to make into compost. Mostly the leaves were stuck in the grass, but I got a few.

I made a salad for supper. Chris browned some ground beef for me so I put some on the salad. I found the interviews from Day 6: the first one was on mistreatment of food animals so go vegan. Another was on covid vaccines: not well tested, not shown to stop transmission or to keep you from getting asymptomatic infection. Once vaccinated, you can't get unvaccinated. If you have a reaction, the medical staff may not know how to treat you because they don't understand how the new vaccines work. No one in the process has liability.

I made my evening drink. We watched several episodes of Community, stopping to look up familiar actors and actresses. Then I wrote up my blog and got ready for bed.

Intentional Communities

We got up at 9. I forgot to buy lemons when we were in Tooele, so I used the alternate protocol, and made hydrogen water. It seemed to take forever for the tablets to dissolve. I read a little beside the Happylight.

I looked for The Greater Reset Day 5, but could not find it anywhere. I searched my laptop and the desktop for a site a friend had told me about years ago, but with no luck. I listened to a talk about food shortages coming because Biden decreed that 30% of farm land should lie fallow, and the US is selling massive amounts of food to China. Other countries are restricting their exports to save food for their people. He also said there is a fertilizer shortage. I was glad I started a food waste container right outside the back door.

Chris gave me a massage, then he took a shower. I was hungry so I made and ate breakfast, then took a shower. By then he was doing the laundry. I read a quote attributed to Oliver Wendell Holmes and I wanted to post it on my Facebook page, but when I double-checked it, there was no evidence of him saying it or writing it. I was reading online, when Chris brought me a mask that he got at work. He didn't like the metal nose piece and wanted me to zigzag a twist tie in its place. So I did, and it turned out ok.

An e-mail informed me that there was a package at the post office, so I took my large tote and walked down there. I found two boxes waiting, and I just barely managed to get both in the tote. When I got home, I opened them and put the items away. I read an article on the possibility of the mRNA protein misfolding and becoming a prion. Mad cow disease comes from prions.

I found the Day 5 replay. It was about starting intentional communities. www.ic.org, Harnessing wind and sun for power we mentioned. Try an air bnb of ecovillages to see if you like them. Certain structures of interlocking circles can be used for governance. One speaker sopke passionately about one in Costa Rica.

I made a big salad for supper. Around 9 I made evening drink. We dressed the bed in clean sheets and watched episode 10 of Voyagers, then one episode of Community. I finished listening to the day 5 replay, then wrote my blog post.

* This was a few days ago. It has mostly melted by now. *

Open source alternatives to Fbook, Ggl, etc

I loaded the mp3 on my headphones last night and listened to it and the regular track. Then I took off the headphones and went to sleep. I slept through the night and woke around 7. (No trumpet playing!) I stayed in bed until Chris got up.

I asked Chris to squeeze my lemon for me. I started that process, read by the Happylight, then checked e-mail to find a heart project. I didn't find the one I had seen before, so I searched the net and found a similar one. I read the instructions, then went to my sewing room to pull fabric and make the project. I took a pic of it, then went to Facebook to announce the project to the Dugway community for next Saturday. That part took a while because Facebook kept finding ways to distract me.

I ironed and cut white fabric strips for the border of the row I made yesterday. I made and ate breakfast, then watched part of Day 4 of The Greater Reset: They talked about decentralized social platforms that big tech can't sink. Dweb, FLOTE, LBRY/Odessey. LBRY gives out tokens for watching a video a day.

I pause it and walked to the post office to pick up some packages. I chatted with the lady at the counter, then walked home again. We checked the list, then went to Tooele, shopped at the usual places, and came home. We put away the food, and I listened to more of the Day 4 presentation:

I learned about dWeb, which stands for decentralized webb. Using Signal, or Threma instead of Messenger 'cause Messenger collects a lot of personal data. Use Proton or Nord VPN. Search engines: Duck Duck Go, brave, Presearch, DAO=decentralized autonomous organization. Can be used for voting. OS: linux, whonix, Qubes. Browser: ubuntu, crypttab. Email: Ctemplar has 24/48 encryption. Phone: Librem 5 phone has kill switch for camera. It is neither Android nor ios. On most smart phones, you cannot make certain the camera is off when you are not using it.

I made more green mix and more spice mix. Then I put supper in the toaster oven to heat. I listened to a panel discussion on the health effects of 5G. I paused it at 9 to make my evening drink. Then Chris and I watched two episodes of Voyagers. We stopped in between to look up some of the actors. After the second one, I moved to my laptop to write this blog post. I tried out the url for stealingurfeelin.gs. I had to turn on my camera for it to work. At the end of the 6 minute video, it gave me a list of things I like, a guess at my IQ and a guess at my income - all from watching my face during the video. Then I got ready for bed.

He got the shot

I listened to a sleep hypnosis track last night before I went to bed. It might have helped because I think I slept through the night. I got up about 7:45. I squeezed a lemon. I read by the Happylight. I wanted to download the Youtube sleep hypnosis track so I could load it to my headphones. But that turned out to be quite a project.

I noticed the recycling was still inside, so I got dressed and took it out. There was a maintenance truck in the street, just sitting there. I decided there wasn't enough recycling to be worth rolling the bin through the snow. Then I read e-mail until two men came to strap down the fridge so it can't fall forward (which also keeps me from being able to clean underneath it.)

After half an hour, they were done. I listened to Day 3 of the Greater Reset:

Grow your own food. Some cities will give you money to start a flock of chickens because it lowers the amount of food waste that goes into the trash. Growing rabbits is better than growing pigs or cows. Seed suggestions: sweet potatoes (Murasaki), eggplant (Pingtung), tomatoes, peppers, Three Sisters Garden (corn, beans, squash (tromboncino) grow well together). Save seeds for trading and replanting.

I made and ate breakfast. I put on The Highwire. Lee Merrit, MD, was saying that she reviewed old literature on HCQ and it showed great efficacy against all viruses, which means flu vaccines might not be needed any more. Michele called with a question about carrot cake, which I was able to answer. Then, while we were chatting, Cecily called. She thanked me for praying for them because their trip to get innoculated was so easy.

I walked to the post office, and picked up a bunch of packages. Thankfully I knew about two of them so I had brought a large tote bag. I chatted with the lady at the desk. She remarked that the parking lot for the coin seller was full of people waiting for their turn to go in and buy coins. Then she had to go, so I hoisted the tote bag to my back and headed home.

I started reading e-mail, then realized it was almost time for the sew-along. I set up my machine at the den countertop. I got out the pieces and threaded the machine. I logged into Zoom and was let in by the moderator. They were waiting for a few more people so I putzed around for a bit. Then Kerry explained what we should do with our pieces, one step at a time. I worked a little ahead since it was so simple. But I was not the first one finished, because I had done a three-part strip wrong. I had to take it apart and recut some of the pieces.

Chris came home and made himself supper. When I finished sewing the pieces together, I left the Zoom group, which was almost done anyway. I heated up supper for myself. I heard Chris get a phone call, and he said he'd be right there. So I asked him where he was going and he said to get the shot. It seemed so sudden and I had a bad feeling about it. He showed me a pic he took of his car stuck in a snow drift this morning. I offered to drive him, but he declined and headed out. I started praying very hard.

When he came back, he seemed fine. We had a discussion about reported side effects. He hadn't heard about the physician in Florida that got thrombocytopenia and died. I unpacked the tote and opened the packages. There was a DVD from Netflix and we watched two episodes from it. It was the second disc of Voyagers. Then I wrote up this blog post and got ready for bed.

Weapons of mass instruction

I did not fall asleep while wearing the headphones last night. And in the middle of the night I woke up with RLS. Since I had taken all my supplements that day, I didn't know why. When the alarm rang at 7:30, I was not ready to get up. So I rested for another 15 minutes.

I got up and prepared for meditation and detox morning. However, I had to cut it short due to back problems. I rubbed some arnica cream on my back, then cleaned the bathrooms as best I could. I washed dishes and cleaned the kitchen counter tops. Chris came home for lunch. He said there was no mail for us today. I took a shower and got dressed. My back was feeling a little better.

I listened to The Greater Reset, day 2. One lady talked about weapons of mass instruction. Corporations and philanthropists will take parents out of the loop through the use of education impact bonds, which only pay if students achieve certain scores. So those people will 'educate' the children however they think will achieve the goals specified on the bonds.

I pulled some white-on-white fabrics from my stash and cut a bunch of white strips according to the list put out by the RCMQG. I put on an intervew that a doctor that I listen to did with a senior executive in the biotech industry. This guy claimed that masks did a great job of lowering the infection rate, and that the gene-therapy injections are perfectly safe and necessary, that they will not stop infection or transmission so we'll have to keep masking and distancing for years, and we'll need weekly antibody tests for the entire population. When the score is low, that person gets a booster shot.

I made and ate breakfast at supper time. I laid out the purple and white pieces to make the design. I ironed all the pieces flat (which I should have done before I cut them).

After watching another interview, I made my evening drink and we watched four episodes of Community. It is a series about an ecletic group of students at a community college. Then we discussed the playing of Retreat. Chris had me watch the one from Fort Sill, which was on Youtube. Then I posted to my blog and got ready for sleep.

Fake News

I forgot to use the headphones last night. I fell asleep on my own. The trumpet woke me up but I think I dozed off again. When my alarm rang at 7:30, I got up. I made a bottle of hydrogen water and drank it. I juiced a lemon, and added 450 ml of water. I brushed my teeth and read The Power of Now by the Happylight. I drank 50ml of lemon juice and turned on the router. I read some e-mail and listened to talks from The Greater Reset. The talk about survival currency was particularly interesting.

Chris came home for lunch at noon with packages from the post office. One held the pants I ordered. I tried them on to see how they fit. I checked my lentils and noticed that one had sprouted. That means there is hope for the rest. I made and ate breakfast. I hung up the quilt calendar that also came in the mail. Chris went back to work.

I listened to a number of interivews and sorted scraps, picking out the purple ones. Late in the afternoon, I took a walk around the block for fresh air. When I got back, I heated supper, and listened to an interview with Knut Wittkowski, epidemiologist. He says you can't stop a virus, merely direct it either to the young and healthy or to the old and infirm. So locking down the young and healthy was a mistake.

I listened to part of the Fake News awards of 2020, then made my evening drink and sat with Chris to watch a movie called Time Trap. Afterward, I brushed my teeth and went back to the Fake News video. Among the short video clips, was one of Kary Mullis (inventor of PCR test) calling Fauci a liar, incompetent, and didn't know what he was talking about. Mullis died in Fall of 2019 so he wasn't refering to Fauci's views on Covid. A peer-reviewed paper came out later that Fauci must have confused the ifr with the cfr in order to claim that the virus was 10x deadlier than the flu. But none of the mainstream news outlets would report it.

Time to post my write-up and get ready for bed.

Hot water

I did not take melatonin last night, and did not fall asleep while listening to the Holosync track. I took the headphones off when the track was finished and turned them off. I had to fall asleep with no help. But eventually I did.

I missed Chris' alarm, I heard the trumpet play, I listened for Chris taking his shower, but the next thing I heard was the 7:30 alarm. I got up soon after. I beat up a lemon and poked it with a chopstick, then squeezed it. But to get all the juice out I had to cut it in half and press the flesh with a fork, which worked pretty well. I added 225 ml of distilled water, and drank 50ml. I read by the Happylight until time for the next drink. I chewed up a basil leaf and bound it to the rash on my wrist. I turned on the router and searched the house for my computer glasses, with no success. Then I decided to look for places they could have fallen and found them hidden in the couch.

I got an e-mail from Chris that Maintenance was coming by at 1. I worked on catching up with tapping videos. I called Michele, but she didn't answer. At 11, I tapped with C, and she really liked the way I did it. Then Chris came home for lunch. I made and ate breakfast. At 1, I sat down to tap with G, but she didn't answer. Maintenance wasn't here either. I called Michele again and we had a short chat. I had to cut it short because the maintenance trucks arrived outside. Then they knocked on the door. They checked the hot water, said the water was too hot and that might lead to the milkiness. They turned it down and flushed some of the water out, and checked the softner. But the water was still too hot. And the pressure in the master bath was too low. So they went to get a new aerator for the kitchen and a new cartridge for the hot faucet.

After they left, I read articles. I boiled water and poured it down the drains in the sink. I walked to the post office. There was no mail. I opened the swap shop to check out the tables that the chapel dropped off. Then I went home.

I listened to a set of health interviews. I searched for purple scraps for Thursday night. Chris came home, and found me in the sewing room. My timer rang, indicating supper was hot. I abandoned my search and ate supper. I watched part of The Greater Reset. I paused it to make my evening drink. Then we sat in front of the TV. Chris scanned through the Netflix offerings and picked one called Groods. It was an animated movie about a cave family. And pretty funny, too. Then I posted to my blog and got ready for bed.
