Day 117 January 2

 Today I was back at work.  I started with the maintenance meeting before taking the resident resources van over to Wasatch to pick up the boxes for Christmas decorations, so we could take them down later.  When I got back to the office, I rode with Posh over to Bentley, where I had to help Josh clean up the dumpster enclosures.  People dumped a lot of stuff over the holidays.  When I was done with that, we tried to go fix a leak, but they did not answer.  Then we took lunch.  After lunch, we went and installed a new microwave.  Then we cleaned out some items from a make-ready area.  After that, we headed back to the office to help clean up Christmas decorations.  When we had everything cleaned up, I headed home.  At home, I helped get ready for our murder mystery dinner in the evening.  I helped make pizza and get other stuff prepared.  Around 6, Jane and Elliot from church joined us for our game.  We mixed up the salad they brought, and then the game got started.  We began by reading the backgrounds of our characters, and then we introduced ourselves to each other.  After introductions, we started round one and read our scripts for each character in a conversational style.  After that, we had questions we needed to ask other people, and other people had questions for us.  While we mingled, we had some drinks and salad.  Then we started round 2, and we read everything for that.  Then we had more questions while we ate pizza.  Then it was time for round 3.  This was the final round, and then we made our predictions.  No one got the answer right, but we still had a lot of fun.  This is a game that you can buy online for like 30 bucks, and it will provide a good few hours of entertainment.  After our game, I relaxed for the rest of the evening 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.
