Day 107 December 8

 Today I was with resources.  I started the morning by picking up at Sprouts with Jenni, then getting everything organized and cleaned in the pantry.  When I was done at the pantry, I took some stuff back to our storage cellar at one of our properties, then made lunch.  Since there were no good prepared meals this week, I improvised and cooked some noodles and put chicken and cheese on them to try and make a chicken parm.  It turned out all right.  After lunch, I loaded up the leftover Christmas trees and some other Christmas decorations and took them over to Goodwill.  When we were unloading, there was a box full of the glass balls that hang on the tree spilled everywhere.  It was very embarrassing, but thankfully, we didn't break any, and we got it cleaned up.  When I got back from Goodwill, I took some gifts over to Bentley and VSR.  When I was done delivering those gifts, I loaded up again and took a load of gifts to The Ridge.  I also took a Christmas tree to one of our residents.  When I got back from The Ridge, we had Girl Scouts at the office, and they were helping wrap gifts.  I made sure they didn't run out of gifts to wrap and broke down some boxes. I also tried to keep them organized.  After work, I had some time to relax, and I got my Secret Santa gift wrapped.  Trilby made supper this evening, and then, after supper, Christian led us in an Advent worship night.  After worship night, we watched more of Now You See Me 2.  We still did not finish the movie, but after the movie, I tried to get the Xbox set up for the learning component tomorrow.  Then 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.
