Day 79 November 10

 When I got to work today, we started with our regular morning meeting, and then my first task was emptying the dishwasher, which, when I started, I realized had not actually run.  Next, we headed to Spouts for our pickup, and it was much better than the last few weeks, which was awesome.  We headed over to the pantry, where we found Kary checking out her new fridge.  Kary loves her new fridge.  After we had unloaded everything, I went back to the office and picked up some of the food donated for our office food drive.  There was a lot of good food at the office.  While we were working on putting stuff away, I accidentally dropped a big box of eggs and then had to spend 20 minutes going through all of them and pulling out the broken ones, which were a lot of them.  We also spent some time moving a fridge and a freezer around in the pantry since we had gotten rid of an old fridge when we got the new one.  We changed the layout of our backroom so it was more usable.  When we were done with all the jobs we don't do regularly, I got the pantry cleaned, and then we headed to the office for lunch.  At lunch, I met the new HR person.  This is the third one since I started.  After lunch, I went to Home Depot to buy some wagon wheels since we had 2 flat tires today.  On the way back to the office, I went to the pantry and installed the wheels.  Then Jenni and I went and restocked some of the libraries.  We have been trying to have a system, so we hit all the libraries in order.  After we were done with libraries, I biked home and relaxed for a while before supper.  Michael had made us fried rice.  After supper, I led worship night, and we had guest speakers, Grandma and Grandpa Nickel, to share about their time serving in Africa.  I had a hard time figuring out how to put my computer screen on the TV.  After worship night, we played a card game and then watched an episode of Severance.

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...
