Day 91 November 22

 Today we went to an escape room.  The place was called Escaped in Time, and the theme of the room was government-controlled birds.  We had an hour to get out, and we were in three different rooms throughout the time.  We escaped with 8 minutes to spare.  The room only had a five per cent escape rate with no hints, and we were in that five percent.  We had so much fun escaping that we decided to do it again in a few weeks.  After the escape room, I relaxed until lunch, and then after lunch we were sparked to make cinnamon rolls.  We decided to make a big recipe so we could freeze it for another time.  While we waited for the dough to rise, we played a board game, which I was very close to winning, but Christian beat me.  When we were ready to roll the rolls out, we realised we didn't have any cinnamon and barley or brown sugar, so I took a quick bike ride to the store and got the ingredients.  When I got back, we got the rolls out and then got them in the oven.  While they were in the oven, we made supper so that when the cinnamon rolls came out, we could have them fresh for dessert.  After supper, we watched a movie called Now You See Me.  It was a movie about magicians who robbed a bank using magic.  After the movie, we 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.
