Woke up around 7:30am. I tried going back to sleep after eating, oh, I don't even remember! But that didn't happen, so I went on the computer and blogged(not this entry!) and FBed and read manga and stuff.
Lunch was grilled cheese, some of which had balony. Then I headed down town with the grocery shopping crew (after helping with the apple crisp) and went to Janie's, but she wasn't home, and wasn't answering her phone. I have no clue what I'm going to do about getting leather for finishing my moccasins.....I went back to Northern and bought that shirt I'd been eyeing for like a month. Got a wonder bar too! >.< Ran into Chris who was buying some cloth, went and talked with Michelle who was waiting in the van, then walked home. The shirt I bought is SUPER BIG on me!!!!! It's a good thing I have a belt, at least that makes it looks kinda stylish. XD
I read my Bible a bit after that and finished Leviticus. I sang a little too, then actually napped in the sun for a bit.....and my memory doesn't seem all that great today......*shrugs*
Dinner was at Jack and Elizabeth's for Denvor's B-day. we had moose, rice, fryed moose, our Caesar salade and macaronic salade, and our vegan chocolate cake w/whip cream, and our apple crisp. We played some video games with Denvor, and tried to put the baby to sleep. Unfortunately, I was on my moon-time, so I couldn't attend the blanket ceremony they were doing for those who had missed the shake tent, so I got asked to take Denvor and Baby Girl to the Katimavik because they were misbehaving and they didn't want them to interrupt the ceremony.
Catherine went back to the house with me, and Colette drove us there. We saw Northern lights on our way, they were very green. The baby sitting went okay, except that the neighbours came over saying we were being to noisy. (We had two young kids! what do you aspect?!)
We everyone got back, Elizabeth had driven over to pick up her kids. Apparently the blanket ceremony was really intense and frightening. I'm not sure whether I feel relived that I missed it, or if I feel rather upset. If I do feel upset, it'll be because I missed out on a group experience, so I won't be able to relate with them on the same level any more........... *sighs* We'll see.

OKAY!
So, I am home now. No more busy schedules, no more crazy late nights. I am going to finish posting my journal entries, as I do want to try and get this linked to the Katimavik blog, because I know reading ones before I left help clam me nerves. That, and then my group mates can read it! XP
So, it's really late and pretty far behind, but here I go!!!

Chisasibi Week Tweleve: Day 3: Sept 25: Post Sercerts, and Guests
I woke up at 7:30am, and ate some bread with butter and chocolate chips, then went back to bed. I woke up again at 11am because some kids were yelling out front. I read manga on the computer till lunch, which was crepes again. Then Catherine, Gordon, Talia and Chris all went to do the gorcery shopping while the others did the daily tasks. I cleaned the upstairs bathroom, and even bleached and scrubbed the shower cuirtain, and I actually managed to get most of the pink stuff off!!!! ^//^ YEAH! After that I read my Bible again, I don't think I'll finish it while on Katimavik, I'm still in Leviticous! T.t......
Later, Michelle and I read some managa on Talia's laptop and I found out we had a book called "Post secerts: a life time of secerts" ion the house. I read it, and OMGZZZ, some of those were so sad!!! Some hwere just plain weird, but wow, talk about an inside look at the human experiance! O.o If youever get the chance, I recommend reading it!
Sang out back for a bit.
Dinner was bannock taccos, with home made salsa, and there was oroogala salade. Colette had helped cooked the bannock, so that Brandon could teach her how to make it. It was funny too, because she has the same gray Chisasibi pants that I do, and we were both wearing them! XD After dinner I went out back and sang again, till it got really dark out. Lady started fighting with a cat too. When I went back inside, I found that JAck and Elizabeth had come over with their kids. They invited us to attend a blanket ceremony, for those who missed the shake tent ceremony, but I can't do (Moon Time). I am veyr thankful I made the sweat yesterday! >//<
THen we had a reflection on the competancies. We made a chart poster thing, and we laughed a bunch near the end. I talked with bRAndon about some stuff related to CCK and the committees. Then tried calling Dad,but he didn't pic up, so I journaled and tryed again later, but still no answer, so then I tryed Mom, but nothing.
I ate some bannock with butter and jam, then had a cup of tea. I talked some more with Brandon, and then Dad called back, and I got to talk to him, Dawson and Mom. I love tea. >//<

Chisasibi Weel Twelve: Day 2: Sept 24: Debrife! and The Last Sweat
I got up at 7:30am, ate some left over breakfast sasuage, and went ot make some bread, but because there was a risk of the water being contamiated (from river) I boilded it. I didn't wait long enough for it to cool back down though, and I think I must have killed the yeast. .....oops. I ate some yogrut with a plum and some gramm cracker crumbs in it, which was very tasty. Then I went on the computer for a bit.
At 9am, Michelle woke up, and she, Chris and I all hopped in the van to go get water from a natural spring that was 40km away. (We had to get speacial primission from head office because it was so far, but they approved it due to the circumstances.) Catherine was going to come, but then she slept in.
I really enjoyed the trip though. Chris even took Michelle and I for a little bonus, but that's a secert. ;) (It was so sweet though!!!!!! XD) The well we went to was an Artision well, which was basically a pipe sticking out of a hill, with water constantly coming out of it. It was so cool!!!!! XD Literaly too!!! I stuck my head under and had a drink, it was so refreshing!!!!! I slpashed my face too, and OMGZZZZZZ there is nothing like it!!! WE filled up two big containers, and then a couple small jars. And I don't know about you, but I loved that exprienace, it was epic! XD
On the ride back, I sat shotgun, and the three of us had some pretty good discussion.
WHen we got home, it was obvious that my bread did NOT rise, and wasn't going to. So I just baked it into a kind of flat bread thingy. For lunch, we had Mac and cheese, and there was also the leftover mushroom pork and leftover hashbrowns. GOrdon and I did lunch dishes.
After lunch, CHris persented us with his de-brife scheduale, and after some discussion, we did our reflection for CCK that after noon. It envolved us drawing pictures about what CCK had been, what it was now, and what we hoped it would be, or "awesome" vs. "not awesome". We were put in groups, I was with Brandon and Vincent, and we each did our own sets. Mine was all about bread, considering my fail from that morning. I think my pics came out pretty good though. I didn't think CCK had ever been awesome yet though, so I titled the 1st picture "not awesome" and it was dead bread and some pieces of carcol, which might have been cookies, and two people crying. It was also drawn with very drak colours. The 2nd picture was titled "slightly less not awesome" or "aka better" and that was a picture was of two loavs of bread, which you could at least eat, the two poeple weren't crying, and there was a littel more colour envovled. The last piture was "The futrue? AWESOME!!!!!" and had two beautiful loavs of bread, some bannopck, some cookies, and some pie. There were tons of colours, and a TON of poeple all ready to party! XD
(The reason I explained the pics was 'cause I liked them, but let Chris keep them.)
After wards, everybody went over what they had drawn. There were some very......interesting contirbutions.
Then I tired making some more bread. While it was rising I went out back and sang. WhenI went in to check the bread, I went out front after, because Justin was meditating in the back............yeah. I mean, this group is great and all, but it would be kind of neat if when you went to the next community you got a whole new group of people. I snacked on the 1st batch of bread.
Dinner was rice, stry-fired veggies, and chicpea salade. I did some prep-work, and then the group left for our activity -the last sweat in Chisasibi.
This sweat was very, intence, I think God might have actually spoke to me. .......If you wantto know more I'll tell you in person, because I don't really want to post the details. This sweat was definetly the hottest I'd been to, and I still never laid dwon during a round. CAtherine and MIchelle both recived their spriti names.
When we got home, Brandon had cooked my bread for me (I think he stayed home 'cause he was sick....) but it had a HUGE air bubble in the top.......it looked really funny......I ate some bread with butter ans chocolate chips, had a shower, then ate some maccaroni.
