sleeping and more babies

8 am

                So how lazy is it for me to sleep ‘til 7:30 when I went to bed just past 10? I keep wondering if it is bad to get “too much” sleep. Part of it is probably that I take quite a while to fall asleep most nights (compared to K who starts immediately snoring away) and part may be because I end up waking up most night at least once and laying there for a while. And part might be that I just love to doze in the morning if I have a chance. I love to turn over the night’s dreams (what I remember) in my mind. Last night there seemed to be two that both involved trying to leave a museum type place and having a really hard time. Hmmmmm? Well I am not going to worry about the sleep. It works for me.

                More baby buns born last week. Amber and Beatrix both had litters, both from Radish, but only 2 each. At least they are all fat and happy. The others are doing well. Night before last it got down to freezing so I brought all the 2 week olds in so they would not hop out of their nest boxes and get chilled. I brought that group in to work yesterday and they certainly got socialized in a big way. I brought the “big gang” in on Thurs and they also got mega socialized. These newbies will only get a bit before school ends.

                Today is going to have to be grading day. I have the full set of plant lab reports to work on – joy. I have a feeling K is going to be pissed. He complained the other weekend that I spend every weekend grading. Well, that is life. I would far prefer not to have to spend my time doing just that. I think today I will let him know I must grade, and then ask what nice thing he would like to do as a break.

                Biggest news I haven’t even mentioned. I suppose that is good since it is not really my “news” and only partially my business. Anyway, G is in Portland right now. She visited Lewis and Clark yesterday (spent Thursday night). She hated it. Ok. So now (tomorrow night) on to Warren Wilson. I sure as hell hope she likes it. If she does not, well, I don’t know where we stand. If she does, then that is that. Meanwhile she is in Portland with my friend. I am kind of jealous. I would not have wanted to do the plane trip, but it is kind of surreal that she is there. It sounds like she’s having a decent time there.

                Other news: L is in, of all places, Las Vegas. She went with a group from school to present a poster at a Human Ecology conference. And they hope to get out into the desert to “herp.” She actually called and it sounds like the presentation went well, which is excellent because I know she was really nervous about it.

                I actually finished spinning the latest 3 ounces of dog hair – I just have to mail it off. And last night I started in on the last 4 ounces that I have of Lucky fiber. It was very nice to just spin, listen the This American Life, and not think about grading.
