Day 103 December 4

 Last night was another eventful night of sleeping with a toddler.  She took over the whole bed, so I did not sleep very well.  My plan this morning was to go into work late so I could take care of Naomi until Christian and Leigha got home.  Around 7:45, I got a text that said they would not come home until tomorrow, so I quickly made a plan to take her over to Hannah's house so I could get to work.  She really didn't want to go over, but eventually she was ok with going.  I took her over driving on the iceiest roads I had ever driven on.  After I dropped her off, I went straight to work.  When I got to work, I started by taking some gifts over to Bentley and VSR with Doug.  After we had dropped off the gifts, we came back to the office, and I loaded up the gifts for The Ridge and took them over there.  When I got there, I helped the leasing agent clean out a closet to put the gifts in.  There were lots of things in there that we took back to give out to people, and some stuff to take to Goodwill.  There were also some books for our libraries.  When I was loaded back up, I went back to the office and ate lunch.  After lunch, I unloaded all the household goods and took some water bottles and bags over to the pantry.  While I was there, I grabbed the adult diapers that were donated.  On the way back to the office from the pantry, I stopped at Woodbine and unloaded all the books.  When I got back to the office, I headed back out and took a load of stuff to Goodwill.  When I got back from Goodwill, Doug and I had to go get gas since the van was almost out.  Then we went over to our Wasatch property to get some Christmas decorations.  We had to go into our lovely storage cellar.  It was completely snowed in, so we had to dig it out before we could open the doors.  When we got in, there was about an inch of water covering the floor; luckily, our decorations were at a high spot.  For some reason, we had 2 six six-foot nutcrackers for decoration, so those were pretty crazy.  Otherwise, it was just basic decorations that we loaded up and took back to the office for decorating tomorrow.  When we got back to the office, we got everything unloaded, and then I headed home for the day.  When I got home, I found out that Christian and Leigha had been discharged today after all.  I got to hold the new baby.  The baby's name is Josiah.  Naomi got home soon after me, so it was fun watching her meet the new baby.  Mike and Hannah ordered us pizza for supper this evening.  After supper, Christian and I worked on doing a kitchen reset since it had become messy while they were gone.  When we were done with that, I relaxed for a while before going 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.
