Heating Season

8:45 am
    I am truly tempted to not write Morning Pages, but instead to crawl back into my warm snuggly bed and read The Good Soldier. Book club is meeting today, it is my book, and I have only barely started it! I did manage to finish The American, so I have started the other book, but just barely. And the house is very very cold. I actually broke down and turned on the heat. So it begins…the heating season. And the bed was so very warm. Tigger, in his disgustingness, rolled in something revolting while I fed the bunnies last night, so I had to hose him down in the shower. I dried him off as best I could, but he was still damp and I felt bad because it was pretty cold in the house, so I let him sleep on the bed again and even covered him up with some covers. He stayed right there all night. That’s 2 nights in a row, he’ll be bummed when K gets home and supplants him!
    Rhinebeck – what to say? Well, it was a long day; we left here around 9:30 am and got home around the same pm. That’s a long day for me. Best parts – spending the whole day with my friend, buying some really good cheese, tasting all those interesting wines, seeing the interesting things people were wearing (and they had presumably made). I’m thinking and not coming up with a whole lot else. It’s not really my scene, with all the crowds of people and all the “shopping.” I am not a shopper. I did, of course, think about displays, things I could do in my own meager booth set ups. As if right now I have any time to implement anything. Hells bells I still need to just repair my tent from when it blew over in May! Well, whatever. It must have been at least 5 years since I’d been there, so it is good to check in now and then. Oh, and I only found 2 of my Bingo people! There are just so many people, how can one be expected to find these 25 known only by little photos? Well, actually the only way I actually found the 2 I did was by means of their Ravelry name buttons. I suppose I should get one of those. And we arrived at the tail end of the meet up at noon, so I found Kari there, but no one else. My second find was Nancy. So it was at least nice to meet them.
    In some ways today is a lovely bit of empty space ahead of me – I have virtually no (!) grading to do (well, just one lab that got turned in late). BUT, I must look over the exam questions, that’s for work, then there is an almost unbearable amount of house stuff I need to do. Mostly tidying, but there’s also things like bill paying, and getting my brain around the woodlot stuff that I need to do. Like I said, what I really want to do is crawl back into bed and read The Good Soldier which by the way I am enjoying from the tiny bit I’ve read so far.
    I guess I’d better get to it – meditate, eat breakfast, feed buns, then see how to arrange the day.
