This morning, I woke up and the clock was flashing 1:30. I thought it was the middle of the night so I went back to sleep. I didn’t wake up until 8:00. I grabbed a cup of coffee and took Danny out. I met another neighbor named Karen. She asked if I had water. I didn’t know if I did or not. I had prepared the coffee the night before so I didn’t know if the water was working or not. I did notice the Janine was out and she doesn’t come out until 9:30 or 10:00. On the way back from walking Danny, I saw Janine in her car. She stopped and said the electric outage caused a problem with a switch in the pump house. She had a new one and was on her way to see if Juan, another neighbor could put it in.
I had some more coffee and started putting the rest of the computers in place on the desks. I had two monitors in the bedroom. I still have to rearrange them but at least they are up off the floor and the computer room is shaping up. I was going to wash off a metal shelf so I could paint it. I got out the hose, turned it on and nothing came out. I had forgotten we had no water. I left that job and began folding up the big blue tarp I had over the metal shelves that I had taken apart. It was dry so I folded it and placed it in the shed. I wanted to paint a cup holder rack but I couldn’t get to the paint in the shed. I have too many boxes piled up in there. I need to get rid of the other washing machine and make some room to go through the boxes.
I unpacked some more boxes in the kitchen. They were three rows deep and now I am down to one row deep. I found I had gauged my floor moving that dryer around. I was able to pull the vinyl back into place and I’ll glue it down with some goop. I’ll have to get my brother to bring his hand truck so I can move the washer and dryer around. I think if I put the dryer where the washer is and the washer where the dryer is they will work out. The washer is not as deep as the dryer so the door will clear it and the dryer will have more room to get the vent hose attached.
I sprayed some WD40 on the spigot that the washer connects to. I hope it will come apart easily and I can replace the rubber washer gasket inside.
I forgot to go to choir practice on Thursday. I remembered at 9:30 that night. Practice used to be on Sunday but now that the three services are in the same building, there isn’t any place to practice and Sunday School starts right after the traditional service. I hope I remember this Thursday. I don’t like to wing it if I don’t know the song. I did OK last Sunday. Everyone said how wonderful the choir sounded. I am able to read music a little bit. I had years of piano lessons. I wasn’t very good but at least I know when the notes go up or down and can follow them.
