Day 230 May 7

 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 ...

Day 229 May 6

 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 ...

Day 228 May 5

 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...

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.
