Day 144 February 2

 I accomplished a lot today.  We started by going to Sprouts to pick up the donation.  Then we headed to the pantry, where we put everything away, and I got the cleaning done.  While at the pantry, we found out that we were now responsible for storing a moterized wheel chair.  We were done early at the pantry, so I went with Jenni to Westside.  We were back early, so I ended up going back to the pantry to plug in the scooter since Doug decided we needed to try and get rid of it.  When I got back to the office, I took lunch.  After lunch Jenni and I headed out to do libraries.  We started by picking up books and Woodbine and then going to Rocky Mountain, Santa Fe, and Citadel Arms.  After those libraries, we went to Home Depot to pick up some hooks for installing doors.  Then we went back to the office to pick up more books and take Doug to his SOS apt.  Then we went back to Woodbine and grabbed more books.  We headed over to The Pines next because the library there needed a door.  We realized we had the wrong-sized hinges, so we could not actually put the door on.  After The Pines, we went over to Enfield and did the 2 libraries there, and then finished by doing Kittyhawk.  Then we went back to the office.  I decided to go back to Home Depot and get bigger hinges.  After Home Depot, I went back to Woodbine and dropped the rest of the books off.  After Woodbine, I went over to Ceders and put a door on with my new hinges.  Once the door was on, I went back to the office and emptied out the van.  Then Jenni gave me a ride home.  When I got home, Christian had made some food that I ate while holding Josiah.  After supper, I led a worship night on addressing fear in our lives and how to put trust in God.  After worship, we talked for a while, and 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.
