Day 164 February 24

I started my day down at Bentley.  We had to clean up a bunch of trash that the trash truck spilled everywhere, then we had to go measure all the blinds in a unit because they were all broken.  Around 11, I headed out to Chick-fil-A to pick up food for the people in resources who were having a meeting at the Penrose House, which is part of the Broadmore.  I had to order food for everyone and then deliver it to them.  After I had delivered the food, I went to Natural Grocers and did the pickup.  Then I headed over to the pantry and unloaded everything.  When I was done unloading, I went back to Bentley, and then we took lunch.  Doug was nice enough to buy me lunch while I was picking up food for everyone else.  After we finished lunch, we had to go work on some locks that were slightly damaged.  They worked right some of the time, but they did not always work right.  We spent a while trying to figure it out, and even with new parts, they didn't seem to work right.  Eventually, we gave up and ordered some different parts.  Next, we had to move a bunch of paint out of a unit that needed to be rented out.  Then I had to sweep and mop 2 units that were ready to lease.  At the end of the day, we had to move a lady's furniture back to her apartment that we had moved out last week.  They said it was going to take 6 to 8 weeks to fix the mold in her apartment, but it barely took more than a week, so it was kind of a waste moving her stuff.  After we were done moving, I headed back to the office to drop off the van, and then I went home.  When I got home, Michael had made us a good supper, and after supper, I relaxed 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.
