Day 88 November 19

 Today was pantry day.  We started by going to Trader Joe's pickup and then putting everything away.  We got a good amount of food this week, and thanks to the food drive we had at the office, we had lots of canned goods for our non-perishables room.  When we had everything the way we wanted it, we took lunch and then opened up.  Thankfully, everybody was in an excellent mood today, so that was just a bonus.  It was also nice to not be so busy and have time to do some little things around the pantry during the slow times.  While we were at the pantry, Doug was looking at a new van for us, which we heard is a very likely purchase for us.  When we were done at the pantry, we packed up and headed back to the office and unloaded.  Jenni and I took some muffins and coffee cake from the pantry to make our contribution to our breakfast potluck the next day, so when I got back to the office, I found a platter to make them look fancy.  When I was done at the office, I headed to Pike Ride to meet Christian.  From there, we biked to Josh and John's and got some ice cream that we took to the park to have our one-on-one while Naomi played on the playground.  After our one-on-one, we biked home through the park.  When we got home, I relaxed for a little bit before Naomi and I made some mac and cheese for supper.  After supper, Naomi wanted to look at Snapchat filters on my phone, which were pretty funny.  Then Naomi had to go to bed, so I relaxed for a while again before playing some Overcooked with Christian, Leigha, and Michael.  We had some high-stress moments during the game.  After we were done cooking, I headed 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 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.
