Sam's Year of Service Adventure

 Today we went to church.  After church, we came home and had some lunch, and then I went and did the grocery shopping.  After I was done shopping, I did not do anything the rest of the day.

 Today I went back over to Jenni's property and did some more fire mitigation.  I worked on it all day.  We stopped for a lunch break, and we had some of my leftover ham, and Jenni made pasta salad and baked beans.  When I was done for the day, Jenni took me home.  At home, I made some edible cookie dough, which was pretty good.  After that, I relaxed for the rest of the evening before going to bed.

 Today I was at Bentley, and the main task was chipping grout off of bricks that will later need to be reinstalled.  This took pretty much all day, and at the end of the day, I headed home.  When I got home, I put my ham in the oven to bake all afternoon.  While the ham was baking, I mowed the lawn and did a few other things.  When it was almost time for supper, I made some creamy vegetables and then got the ham sliced up and added cheese.  Supper was really good.  After supper, we all sat in the basement and visited for a while before I went to bed.

 Today I started my day over at The Ridge.  I had to get a garbage disposal fixed.  After that, we ran to Home Depot to get a lock and then headed over to The Attrium.  At the Attrium we had to replace filters and smoke detector batteries for a few people.  We also had to get a jar out of a garbage disposal, and it turned out to be a huge pain.  Then we went to Wendy's for lunch.  After lunch, we had to install a motion detection light switch, and then I went and checked out a furnace that was making a funny noise.  Next, we had to go to Kittyhawk to let a guy in to fix a fridge.  Then we went back to The Atrium very slowly because traffic was super backed up due to construction.  Back at The Attrium, we had to fix some cabinet doors and replace the batteries in one of the smoke detectors because the ones we installed were defective.  At the end of the day, Doug picked me up, and we went to pick up the van from the shop, and I took ...

 This morning I woke up to it snowing outside, and the snow continued throughout most of the day.  Today was pantry day.  I started with the pickups in the morning, which had a bonus stop at the office to get the tablet we forgot.  When I was done with the pickups, we got everything put away with about an hour of extra time because Sprouts was such a small pickup.  After we ate our lunch, we opened up to the small number of people who were signed up.  When we were through the list, it was dead for about an hour, and then we finished the day a little busy again.  We were also giving out potting soil to a few residents.  When we were done at the pantry, we packed up and headed back to the office.  At the office, we unpacked everything and then headed home.  When I got home Chrisitan and Andrew had made spaghetti squash for supper.  After supper, we played Sonar for the learning component, which was super fun.  After learning the ...

 This morning, we had a special event at the office where some potential donors came in to learn about eviction prevention and leasing.  While Jenni was doing that, I went to Goodwill to pick up books.  I took the books to Woodbine and then headed back to the office for lunch.  After lunch, Jenni and I had to run home and get heavier coats for mobile market later.  Then we went to Natural Grocers for the pickup.  We dropped the stuff off at the pantry, then headed to the Attrium.  When we got there, we found out they had opened early and had already made it through the rush.  After mobile market, we packed up and headed back to the office.  Then I headed to Santa Fe to pick up some soil to give to people at the pantry.  Then I went to the pantry and unloaded stuff before going back to the office.  At the office, I checked on some lights that weren't working and found we didn't have what we needed to fix them.  Then Jenni took m...
