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...

Day 220 April 27

 Today, we started by going to Sprouts for a pickup.  Then we went over to the pantry.  By the time we had unloaded all the food, Doug was over at Santa Fe and needed help unloading the dirt for the gardens.  We unloaded 100 bags of potting soil.  When we were done, I headed back to the pantry to help Jenni finish putting stuff away.  When we were done at the pantry, we headed to Westside and dropped off the bread.  On our way back to the office, we went to the pantry so I could pick up my lunch I forgot.  When we got back to the office, we took lunch.  After lunch, I went to Woodbine and picked up some books.  Then I went back to the office to grab a key for the shed at Ceders, and then I went looking for a garden hose.  Then I went back to the office and picked up Jenni, and we did libraries for most of the afternoon.  When we were done with libraries, we went back to the office, and I unboxed some of the garden stuff for Thu...

Day 219 April 26

 Today we had church.  Before church, we had breakfast together, and Christian made some eggs and bacon.  After church, I sold some landscaping rocks on Facebook Marketplace and then had some lunch.  After lunch, I made some banana muffins and then relaxed the rest of the afternoon.  In the evening, I got a new phone case delivered, and we finished off the evening by watching an episode of Firefly.

Day 218 April 25

 Today I slept in for a while.  When I did finally get up, I went and outside and hung out with Naomi for a while and then we had lunch.  After I did not do much, I went to the phone store to try to get my charging port cleaned out again.  Turns out the port was actually broken this time.  When I got back from the phone store, I went to the playground with Naomi.  We did not stay long and then came back home.  When we got home, I relaxed for a little bit, and then it was time for supper club.  At supper club, we had taco soup, chips and dip, and Dr Pepper floats.  After we were done eating, we watched "The Wall".  It is a TV gameshow where a couple anwsers questions, and there are lots of Plinko drops.  It did not make much sense, but it was fun to watch.  After supper club, we came home and went to bed.

Day 217 April 24

 Today I rode along with Josh.  We first went to UT and replaced some smoke alarm batteries, and then we went to Santa Fe and worked on a make-ready with Dion the rest of the day.  We had to put all the countertops back together and then replumb the sink.  We also had to put the stove and the fridge back where they go.  Then we found out the fridge did not work, so we did some diagnosing on it.  At the end of the day, I went back to the office and then home.  When I got home, I had some lunch, and then I mowed and weedeated the yard.  Halfway through mowing the yard, I got supper started in the crockpot.  I made some creamy chicken pasta.  After I finished mowing the yard, I hung out with Christian and Leigha for a bit before finishing supper.  I had to make some pasta and cut up some spinach and broccoli to finish off the meal.  Then we ate supper, and it was delicious.  After supper, we sat on the front porch for a while...
