Day 227 May 4

This morning I started with the Sprouts pickup.  After I did the pickup, I picked up Jenni at the office, and we went to the pantry and put everything away.  Once everything was put away, I cut up a roast, and then we found some other stuff to keep us busy until 11.  We went by Woodbine to pick up books on the way to Westside.  After we dropped off the bread, we went to Moreno and The Ridge to do libraries.  After we did those libraries, we went back to the office for lunch.  After lunch, I went and did some more libraries and then we had soil pickup for the gardens from 3 to 5.  We had almost no people show up, even though a lot of people were signed up.  When we were done, we got gas and dropped off the books on the way back to the office.  Then I headed home.  When I got home, we had pizza for supper, and then we finished our worship night series on the Sabbath.  After worship night, I relaxed the rest of the evening before going...

Day 226 May 3

 This morning, Christian made us a breakfast feast.  After breakfast, we went to Woodman Valley for church as part of Michael's worship night.  I really enjoyed the sermon, but the music was a little much for me.  I also enjoyed the coffee shop in the church because they had Dr. Pepper.  After church, I went over to my host family's house, and then we went out to lunch at Doug's.  I had a really big omelet for lunch.  After lunch, we went back to the house and relaxed for a while, and then I came home and relaxed some more.  When it was time for supper, I grilled some burgers.  After supper, I put the licence plate on the van and then relaxed the rest of the evening.

Day 225 May 2

 This morning, I went over to Jenni's house to do some tree clearing for them.  I cleared trees all morning, and then we got La Casita for lunch.  After lunch, I continued clearing trees, but I had a chainsaw for the afternoon.  When I got done for the day, Jenni took me home in the jeep with the roof off.  When I got home, I relaxed for a while and then had some leftovers from lunch for supper.  After I ate supper, I went to bed.

Day 224 May 1

 Today I went up to The Ridge.  We did a bunch of odd jobs.  We emptied dog trash cans, moved a bunch of paint, checked out some make-readies, and scraped some stuff off a shower.  When we were done at The Ridge, I went back to the office, and then Jenni took me to her property to show me some work they had for me to do.  When we were done looking at the work, Ryan took me home.  When I got home, I had some lunch and then had to get to a meeting with Bethel.  After the meeting, I relaxed the rest of the afternoon before making some supper.  I made a spaghetti pie for supper.  After supper, I played video games with Christian, and then I headed to bed.

Day 223 April 30

 Today we started with our all-staff meeting.  It was mostly about stuff that did not involve me, but the 2 truths and a lie was pretty entertaining.  After the meeting, I took the resources van to the shop for an oil change, and then Doug picked me up and took me to Bentley.  At Bentley, we had to spend the morning inspecting really disgusting apartments that literally made me sick.  After lunch, I got started on a make-ready.  I did a little bit of patching and then kilzed some of the spots.  When I started touch of painting, none of the paint colors matched, and it seemed like the walls were pretty faded.  I decided to wait for someone else to help me decide if I should keep touching up or do a full paint.  I ran out of things to do in the make-ready, so I organized the maintenance room as it was becoming quite a mess.  At the end of the day, Jenni picked me up and took me home.  When I got home, I had some supper and then made s...

Day 222 April 29

 Today was pantry day.  I started with my pickups at Trader Joe's and Sprouts.  When I got back from the pickups, we put all the food away, and then we had lunch.  After lunch, we got started, and it was super busy.  I mostly supervised, but towards the end of the rush, Jenni taught me how to use the tablet, and I found out that I do not know anybody's last name.  At the end of the day, we packed up and headed back to the office and put stuff in the fridge.  We talked with Doug for a while about how it went, and then I headed home.  When I got home, there was some chili for supper, and then Michael led us in part 2 of his learning component on Mormons.  It was very interesting again.  After the learning component, I relaxed the rest of the evening before heading to bed.

Day 221 April 28

 Today I was with maintenance.  We started by having everyone come over to Bentley to help test the fire alarms.  We needed everybody so we could put someone on every floor so we didn't need to run the alarms for to long.  It took about an hour to test all the alarms at Bentley, and then we had to inspect all the sprinkler heads in all the apartments.  This was about 3 hours of me walking around with an inspector, knocking on and unlocking doors for him so he could look at the sprinklers.  When we had finished, we had to look at the cameras for a while because there was a fight over the weekend.  Then I spent some time cleaning up the trash around the property.  When I was done picking up trash, I took lunch.  After lunch, we did a bunch of little things.  We spent some time inspecting new make-readies, and then we found that bricks were falling off the building in the playground area, so we had to lock it down.  Then I spent some t...
