July 15th 2016

A day of ups and downs.

An early morning start
so I would be ready
to get over to the CASO station by 10am.
I arrived to find a TON of people
setting up tables.

I was immediately

given the task of tying

the chair covers in place.

Which I did to 100+ chairs.

At this point there was a lull

and no one quite knew what to do next.

There was a huge pile

of misc decorations

and we were told

to go store them in the closet

as they were not going to be needed.

I walked into the second room and found

and archway and pillars

and was told they were unnecessary

and could be stored as well.

I disagreed.

I spent the better part of 3 hours,

with lots of help from Pam and Caroline,

revamping and decorating

the archway into a photo booth.

We were quite pleased

with the final product,

and so was the bride and groom.

My last effort

was to use a bit more

of the leftover décor

and create the last 2 pillars

into something for the front doors.

By the time I got home I was beyond hot.

I was drenched and tired.

This was only the first problem,

as I drank my first bottle of water,

we realized I had a bit of heat stroke.

I was shivering and nauseaous,

so I spent most of the afternoon,

trying to recover.

By 4pm, I could sit up.

I ate a few crackers,

and Judy and I went to sit outside

in the fresh air.

We had a good time,

playing some Disney trivia.

Now I am going to hit my bed

with a little more gravol on board.

Good night from John Street
