Cleaning

7:30 am

                I’m glad that I am going to see the gastroenterologist today; I woke up feeling kind of cruddy and most definitely low energy. I got a lot done yesterday, but I was kind of dragging. And Sunday when I went to run I could barely make it. I kept getting stitches in my side which usually doesn’t happen and I ended up walking a lot of the way.

                As for “getting a lot done,” what that means is that I actually managed to pull about half of the sunroom’s contents out and sort stuff. I vacuumed and “dusted” if that is what you call wiping off a year’s worth of crud. I had to put it all back in last night, so to continue I’ll need to pull it back out, and keep going by also pulling out all the boxes of fleeces. I need to open each one and check for moth activity. And sort them so if there are any I do not want I can get rid of them. I am going to get rid of the alpaca that I got a bunch of years ago in CT. I used some of it once and did not like it – too itchy. I will see if my friend wants it, and if not, I’ll probably bring it to the spinning group next week and see if anyone there wants it. Speaking of my friend, she told me last week when I went there to spin, that she had decided she should sell her drum carder. I thought of making her an offer, but figured she would want more than I was willing to pay. Then while cleaning out, I came to the realization (surprise!) that I still had her carder from January when I used it. Oh dear. Well not a huge problem, since she says she can no longer use it and hadn’t missed it, but I think part of her bringing it up was to hint that she hadn’t gotten it back! And I didn’t get the hint until yesterday. Anyway, I decided to propose that I buy it for $200 and then it is still around if she ever wants to use it, or if she finds something she’d like me to card for her. And she is fine with that, so that is good. I sent a check right away, since I am so bad about remembering things like that (and like returning things). Of course it also means I must store it. I found a place for it, but things are definitely tight in there and it would be good if I found a fleece or two that I just could get rid of. Good news is that I did not buy any fleeces this year.

                Bunny news: two more litters! Both white buns had their babes, finally, since neither kindled in the spring. Angel had 6 and they are looking good and robust. Chrysanthemum had 7, though they are looking a bit wimpy. We’ll see how it all goes. So I have 3 litters right now, and several more bred.
