decadence

8:40 am
    This morning I luxuriously laid abed from about 6:30 until after 8! It was wonderful, I just lay there dozing, waking, thinking about not much. The only distraction was Tigger who was laying outside the door and whining every now and then because he wanted to be fed. Only then when I fed him he looked at me funny, so I wonder if G fed him when she got up for work at 6. Maybe he was just whining because he wanted me to get up.
    Yesterday was lovely. I did a lot of carding

and spun a bit. It is tempting on a day like that, when everyone is gone and I have nothing planned, to call someone, arrange a get together of some kind. But I decided to resist the temptation and just go with being alone. And I had a lovely time. I did go out to run some errands (took the mattress and insulation and basement rug to the dump, picked up a check from the rental house, and picked up grain from the Farmers Supply). And I left myself open to supper with G. I asked if she wanted to get supper at Mom’s House, and she said maybe….. several times she said maybe….. at that age, I think kids are incapable of planning ahead. They want to keep everything open to whatever possibility might present itself (like something better than supper with Mom). So I was ok with that. Just go with the flow. If I eventually got hungry and G had not gotten to yes, I could very easily fix myself something to eat. Well I was just finishing up some spinning (about 5:45) when she appeared with her friend and asked did I want to go to Mom’s Place. Ok! We got delicious take out, and came home and ate it in the living room because the kitchen table is such a mess! What decadence!
    For one accomplishment I did wash bags yesterday.
the bags

Not all of them, but the easy ones. I think I will wash the rest today.

Yesterday and today are good drying bags on the line days. I suppose I should check the weather to see what’s predicted at this point for next Sunday (10-10-10).
    I must feed buns soon, and I think I will pluck Crystal and Bathsheba today. And clean up Alice who is a mess. I moved rabbits around yesterday so the big litter and Mom Cream are in the big hutch

(not the huge makeshift cage, the teenage boys are still in that), and Bathsheba and daughter are in the hutch over to the side, and I separated the 2 white girl teens since they weren’t getting along so well. They’re next to each other and next to Angel their mom so they can all still commune. I need to put up bunny for sale signs. And I forgot to bring them with me yesterday to put one in the Farmers Supply. Oh well, I need to remember to bring them everywhere I go.
    I also have to do 350 stuff, and I don’t want to think (write) about it. I did think a bit last night, after I had to turn off my Planet Earth video so G could write a paper, and I think I’ll be ok with what I need to do. It is important to me to break things into manageable steps because I find it so easy to get overwhelmed. Like I need to start in on the grading. I did just get started on it last night, and I don’t think it will be too bad. Just need to make sure I don’t spend too much time writing too much.
