Day 80 November 11

 Today started with our morning maintenance meeting, and that's where I learned I would be putting a desk together.  It was a desk from IKEA, I think.  This meant that many of the pieces didn't fit together as well as they could.  I spent the whole morning and some of the afternoon working on it.  It was a big L-shaped desk.  This was for one of the newer employees, Olivia.  It was a long morning of reading instructions.  After lunch, we got the desk moved into her office, and then we learned that I had messed up a drawer slide, so I had to fix that.  I still considered it a win to only have messed up one out of 50 steps.  After I was all done with the desk, I picked up some trash around the office and then took the old desk to Goodwill for donation.  After work, I went home and we played Terraforming Mars on Leigha's phone.  It was almost time for supper, and then Amy, a lady from church, stopped by to tell us what we would be doing for the pastors' retreat.  For supper, Trilby made stuffed peppers, which were really good.  After supper, Michael led us in the learning component.  We learned about his hometown, Biedefeld.  His city is very different from around here, and apparently, there is a conspiracy theory that the town does not exist.  After the learning component, we watched an episode of Severance, and then it was time for 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 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...

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.
