Saturday, August 31, 2013: Jay and Peter left very early for the temple. I slept in and then spent time visiting with Alexandra. She worked on getting her stuff together for Boston, and I cleaned upstairs. I am in the process of rearranging some of the books on the bookshelf up here. Then I vacuumed and washed the kitchen and bathroom floors. Alexandra helped me load up the truck for the dump run (it's actually the recycling center, not the dump; but we've gone there for so many years, that it's hard not calling it the dump. After all, you do dump things there, even if they are all in different areas depending upon what they are so that they can be recycled!). I stopped at the cleaners to drop off two of Jay's white shirts to be cleaned. I've always done Jay's white shirts myself, but it's so hard to keep the collar and cuffs clean that I decided I'd do the cleaners. It's not terribly expensive, and Jay's shirts should come back looking great (I hope)!
I did a few errands, like dropping off clothing at Salvation Army, picking up some gluten-free flours and other interesting things at Ocean State Job Lot, and then went to Stop & Shop to get some vegetables and fish for Sunday's dinner.
The Scituate Ward Relief Society holds an annual combination Relief Society/Young Woman campfire cookout behind the ward building, so I went; Alexandra came along as well. We had a great time visiting and making tin foil dinners, which turned out awesome. The best part for me was toasting marshmallows and putting them on graham crackers. I didn't do the chocolate because I don't eat chocolate! That was really yummy. Then I made a tin foil dinner for Peter, which he was happy to get and eat!
When I told Natalie D. that I was going to take a bath when I got home, she told me about putting fresh grated ginger into the water. It opens and cleans your pores and makes your skin nice and soft. So on the way home, we stopped at Big Y to buy some ginger. In addition to the ginger, I added epsom salts.
I took a nice hot tub with a cup of herbal tea (cold care for nighttime) and when I went to sleep, I slept like a log all night long!
