Heat, and Salvies and little fiber

9 am
    I made the decision about 2 minutes ago that I would not take the 9:10 bus – pretty easy decision since I am not ready and the bunnies have not been fed. So I will take the 9:40 bus, for which I’ll need to leave the house just after 9:30 meaning I have a bit of time to write before I must do buns and book.
    The muscle lab went pretty well yesterday. One more today. Not perfect but pretty well. I wish I was more comfortable with these muscles. I don’t think the prof will be around this afternoon, so the cat dissection may be a bit dicey. And this group is somewhat less forgiving. The Wednesday group I can distract with goodies (pumpkin bread with chocolate chips yesterday) but this group seems uninterested in such things.
    I went to Salvies last night. It was packed with students looking for Halloween costumes. If I had been less rushed I would have enjoyed just watching them. As it was, though, I arrived after 7 and had limited time to grab every possible pair of black pants off the rack and whip into a dressing room to try them on before they started announcing that the dressing rooms would be closing in 15 minutes….5 minutes…..closed! I found 3 pairs of pants and a few shirts. And today I am wearing the one short sleeved shirt I bought because the lab room yesterday was sweltering! Even with the windows all fully open, since it was hot outside yesterday. In October! Less than a week before Halloween!
    Fibrous: I am still working on the hat to go with the scarf. What will I do next? I want to do a lot of carding, maybe I will concentrate on that this weekend. I have managed to do a good bit of bunny plucking, so they are nearly all set. A few babies need a first cut. Of course I also need to start spinning the black angora for the scarf. And soon will be the Hartsbrook fair and I must be ready for that.
