Day 120 January 5

 Today I was with resources.  We started the day with a long meeting that mostly involved catching up.  I completed some tasks around the office, and then Jenni and I went to Sprouts.  When we got to the pantry, we had to throw away a bunch of food from last week since it had not happened on Wednesday.  Then we brought in all the new food, and there was a lot of it.  Lots of eggs, milk, and yogurt.  When we had everything put away, I got the pantry cleaned, and then we headed back to the office.  We took a bunch of eggs to give out at the office, but then we realized most of them were broken.  After we took a lunch, I ran back to the pantry to grab some egg cartons so I could sort the eggs.  After I had all the eggs sorted, I helped Jenni get the Christmas thank-you letters ready to send out to the donors.  When we had finished that, Doug and I took the Christmas decorations back to storage.  It took 2 trips.  When we had finished that, I found out that there was one more present to wrap that had come in late.  When I went to wrap it, I realized I had taken all the wrapping paper back to storage the week before.  I ended up going to storage and getting some wrapping paper to wrap the last gift.  When I was done, I took the thank you letters to the post office to mail, and also took the wrapping paper to a different storage on the way.  When I got back to the office, I had a few little tasks to complete, and then I headed home.  When I got home, we made some brats for supper.  After supper, I relaxed for a while and then played some video games with Christian and Leigha.  When we were done playing video games, 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.
