Day 72 November 3

 Today, when I got to the office, I saw that someone had thrown a bike into the bushes in front of the office.  Then I started by doing some random jobs around the office.  Then we headed to Sprouts for our pickup, which thankfully was much better than last week.  We listened to the Jubil Show as usual.  When we got to the pantry, we found out that someone had crashed a car into the Plaza apartments over the weekend.  We got all the food unpacked and then had to sort a bunch of meat that we had bought last week.  I also tested out the temp gun to see how accurate it was, and I found out it was very far off.  Then I did my cleaning tasks, and we headed back to the office for lunch.  After lunch, I was sitting in the office and found out that a bunch of the chairs had loose legs, so I tightened them all up.  Then Jenni and I went and did a whole bunch of libraries.  I'm not going to list them.  When we were done with libraries, I had a little extra time, so I took a look at the van door since it hadn't been opening all the way for a while.  I found the issue and then a way to bypass the problem.  When I was done with the van, I headed home and decided to see how much of the ride I could do without touching the handlebars.  It's more than you would think.  When I got home, I played with Naomi for a while and relaxed before Michael made us supper.  After supper, we had a while before worship night.  For worship night, Christian taught us a way of prayer where we sit and just be with God for a few minutes.  We are not necessarily saying a prayer but just putting ourselves in God's presence.  After that, we took a personality test to see which ways of worship fit us best.  No surprise my top one was caregiver.  After that, we had about 25 minutes of meditation, and I chose to read 1st John since it was a story that was recommended for the circumstance.  Then it was off to bed.

Day 28

We got up at 3:30, hoping to hit the road at 4 and then be on the trail at 4:30.  We were pretty close to on time.  We were hiking Mount Princeton.  Since we were in a van, we had to hike from the lower parking lot up a Four Wheel Drive trail for 3 to 4 miles.  When we finally hit single track, it didn't take long for us to be rock scrambling.  We had about 3 miles of rock scrambling to the top.  About half of it was just along the side of the mountain, but then we really turned uphill and had a pretty steep scramble to the top.  We finally made it to the top, and it was an amazing view for a little bit.  A snowstorm was moving in quickly, and we watched it start from a nearby mountain and slowly come toward us.  We had a slippery scramble down the shale on the mountain.  Then the snowstorm caught us, and it was kind of just a sleet, but it made all the rocks very slippery.  By this point, some people were fighting headaches.  ...

Day 26

Today I was with maintenance again.  We started off by going to Arcadia to do some inspections.  These rooms were much better kept than the last apartment we did inspections in.  We only had to do 3 rooms, so it didn't take long.  Then Bill took me over to Bentley, where I continued taking pictures again.  I did pictures most of the day, and then Bill picked me up at about 3:30 and we headed back to the office.  It was my day to cook, so I decided to make a pizza, which turned out pretty well.  After supper, we decided to try another community youth group for young adults again.  It was kind of like a church service with singing and a sermon.  I was not super into it because it was a non-denominational group, and they just do things a little differently.  On the bike ride home, my chain fell off while crossing the bridge over the highway.

Day 32

Today was pantry day.  Since Trilby hurt her finger yesterday, she tagged along with me to the pantry.  I started by running to Home Depot to get a wagon wheel for the wagon at the pantry.  When I got back from Home Depot, we picked up Doug and went over to the pantry.  Jenni was sick today.  We dropped Doug off at the pantry and then went to pick up the food at Sprouts and Trader Joe's.  We had a relatively light haul from Sprouts, but a fairly substantial haul from Trader Joe's.  We got everything put away in the pantry in record time and then had time for a good, long lunch break.  There were not a lot of good options for lunch, but eventually I found a pretty good sandwich.  After lunch, we started the pantry and had about 20 to 30 people come through.  It was not that many people at the end of the month, because usually by that time their government funds have run out.  Once we hit about 2 o'clock, we pretty much didn't have an...
