Sam's Year of Service Adventure

 This morning I woke up early and went to try a local donut shop.  I ended up getting a cinnamon roll and a coffee cake donut.  Then I didn't do much in the morning, and then I made some breakfast burritos for the upcoming week.  When I was done making burritos, Jane and Elliot came over, and they took the bus to church with Leigha to learn how it works.  They ended up stuck at church, so I took the van and picked them up.  When we got back, I took Christian downtown so he could pick up the bike they left there.  It took forever to get back to the house because apparently a bus hit a firetruck, and it was a huge mess.  When I got back to the house, we played a board game with Jane and Elliot.  After the game, I grilled a steak for supper, which was really good.  After I ate my steak, I went to bed.

 Today we had the vet clinic.  First thing in the morning, I got a tent and table set up for check-in, and then we got started.  I was inside helping hold the pets.  There was a really cute puppy and a really spicy cat.  Every animal was very hairy, and it did not help my allergies.  After work, my dad picked me up, and we went out to eat at The White Pie.  It was some really good pizza.  After lunch, we went back to the house, and I sent some stuff home.  Then I relaxed for the rest of the afternoon until it was time to make supper.  I made a pasta salad and grilled some sausage.  After supper, I relaxed for the rest of the evening.

 This morning we started with an eviction at Woodbine.  It took a long time because they were still there and there was a lot of stuff.  We even found the wagon that was stolen from the pantry in the apartment.  When we were done with the eviction, I went with a few people over to KittyHawk, and we did inspections.  None of the apartments were too bad, so it went pretty well.  When we were done with inspections, I rode around with Albert for the rest of the day.  We started by going to Enfield to check out a leaky washer, which we called a plumber to come fix.  Then we went to The Ridge and helped Vern do some work orders.  When we were done at The Ridge, we went out to eat at Mod Pizza.  It was really good.  After lunch, we headed over to Bentley and helped Alden do some work orders.  When we were done at Bentley, Albert took me back to Woodbine, where I had parked this morning.  Then I headed home.  When I got home,...

 Today was pantry day.  I started by doing the pickups and delivering the food to the pantry.  We got everything put away, and then we had lunch.  After lunch, we got started, and it was a quick day.  We did not have very many people.  We did, however, have someone come for a tour that was part of Michael Bennett's campaign.  They were checking out low-income housing in the state.  At the end of the day, we got packed up and headed back to the office.  We unloaded everything at the office, and then I was on to the best part of the day.  I got to drive my coworker's Shelby GT350.  It was the most fun car I have ever driven, and it was so awesome.  After I was done with my test drive, I headed home.  When I got home, I went to get gas for the mower and then mowed the lawn.  When I was done mowing, I shredded the pork roast that I had put in the crock pot this morning.  We had pulled pork for supper.  After sup...

 Today I was with maintenance down at Bentley.  I started by showing a resident how to use their thermostat.  Then I had to go reattach a light to the ceiling and find out why a sink was making a funny noise; it wasn't making a funny noise.  Next, I went to check out a leaky AC, and it was very leaky.  We decided it was for warranty work.  Then we headed over to a make ready, and I got the first coat of paint on a door before we had to go to Moreno for an eviction.  They did not have any stuff, and they were not there, so it was pretty easy.  When we were done with the eviction, we went and grabbed lunch at La Casita; it was really good.  Then we went to Colorado West to pick up a few parts.  Then we headed back to Bentley.  When we got back to Bentley, I finished painting the door, fixed a couple of drawers, and got the TP holder put on.  When I was done with that, we wasted the rest of the afternoon trying to put a bathroom t...

 This morning we started with the Sprouts pickup.  It was not very big, so it did not take us too long to put everything away.  When we were done at the pantry, we went to Woodbine and picked up some books.  Then we went back to the office to pick up the bread for Westside.  After we dropped off the bread, we went back to the office and took an early lunch so we could get started on the libraries.  Since we had not done them in a long time, we tried to hit all of them, and we got all but 2.  This required going back to Woodbine for more books multiple times.  When we were finished doing libraries, we headed back to the office, and then I headed home.  When I got home, I had some supper, and then we watched another sermon for worship night.  This time it was by John Piper.  After worship night, I relaxed for a while and then made a quick trip to Walgreens to pick up a picture before going to bed.
