Day 268 June 15

 This morning I started by labeling some tools for our volunteer group today.  Then Jenni and I did the Sprouts pickup.  When we had put all the food away, I went back to the office to get Doug, and then he and I went to East Hills to get the volunteers started.  They were doing some tree trimming and some painting.  After we had them started, I went back to the pantry where I bleached the wagon we had gotten back, and then Jenni and I went to Westside to deliver the bread.  When we got back from Westside, I went back to get Doug.  We ended up going to Sherwin-Williams to get them more paint and going hunting for saws, which we were unsuccessful at.  Then we headed back to the office for lunch.  After lunch, Jenni and I got to work on the libraries.  We got a few done, and then we went to pick up all the tools from the volunteers because they were done for the day.  After we got everything, we had to go over to Plaza and wash the pa...

Day 267 June 14

Today we had church.  During church, Naomi and Josiah had their baby dedication.  After church, we went home and had some lunch.  After lunch, I relaxed for the afternoon.  For supper, I grilled some shrimp and tried making grilled cheese in the air fryer.  After supper, I relaxed for the rest of the evening before going to bed.

Day 266 June 13

 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.

Day 265 June 12

 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.

Day 264 June 11

 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,...

Day 263 June 10

 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...

Day 262 June 9

 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...
