Emergency kits Day 9 service mission
Nurses station
We cleaned out the nurses station, and we put up the new carts. I followed the instructions in my blessing, and asked for help.
So Dennis carried the Kotze over there. Then he and Willem took the washer out of the room for us.
We were able to clean up and organize and find out what was in the room.
Emergency containers
Each emergency container consisted of the container which is for bailing, a flashlight, a rope with buoy, and a whistle.
Dennis brought the containers up and the whistles and the flashlights had bought, and we put them all together and made sure that each container had those items in it.
We took them back down to the Quonset hut, and attach them to the kayaks and canoes, or put them in a big bin on the wall.
Swish
We went to Peterborough, and on the way realized we needed to go to the emergency. So we went there, and then I went on to the stores and bought all the supplies that we needed.
Swish had the churches account so they could easily tell me which containers I needed to buy, Which paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, outhouse liquid, etc. I bought the bacteria stuff that gets rid of the reason for the smell in the outhouse. I think the other blue stuff just mask the smell with its own smell which I never thought it was a very pleasant smell, either.
I went to the dollar store, Dollarama and bought flashlights and wax to make fire starters and batteries.
I also talked to a panhandler for a while. His story was quite interesting.
When I was finally all done and ready to go home, I called Willem who had some groceries for me to pick up. After all of that, I went home. When I was nearly there I stopped at the Ojibwe reservation in curve Lake, close to Buckhorn, and filled up with gas. The price of gas is now an incredibly high $2.08 a liter. That’s over six dollars a gallon.
At the reserve I bought it for $1.78 a liter. That was extremely expensive one month ago! Now it’s the cheapest price.
Willem had been busy digging out the legs of a bench that were cemented into the ground but then broken off. Not an easy task without a cement breaker machine.
I hadn’t gotten home until about 8 PM. We ate in the pavilion, and played dominoes. I really like Domino’s.
I have been staying on top of my pain better. We got something called that stuff for pain, which turns hot then cold than hot then cold.
I found that after sitting in the chair playing dominoes for a while, the severe pain in the centre of my back came back.
I really need to do my physiotherapy, I think.
The heat works in our trailer now. It’s quite warm and toasty. I love having the fleece on the floor beside the bed, and another one in the living room in front of the couch. They’re very soft on my little toes.
