7:30 am
Question
of the morning is: can the computer handle my using Microsoft Word at the same
time that it is copying all my photos to the external hard drive? We’ll see,
seems to be doing fine so far.
Fair
yesterday. Apple Harvest. I actually did not too badly. And I like the fact
that the fee goes to the Family Center after all. The worst part was loading
the car on Friday. This “new” car is smaller, or at least it is shorter, than
the old station wagon and it is way smaller than the camperbus (oh, NOW I miss
the camper) so it takes far more effort to fit everything in. Plus it was raining
pretty steadily which made it all that much more of a pain. Plus I just plain
wasn’t feeling good. So I ended up doing a lot of cursing and talking to myself
to get through it. The setting up was not bad at all (though I am a complete
lazy bum and absolutely hate getting up at quarter to six in order to: shower, take
pills and psillium, feed buns, try to eat something, gather last minute stuff
and get going). The best part is that they have tons of lovely college students
there to help and it made the set up relatively painless (or less painful). Difficult
part was that I have yet again changed things around so I was trying new ideas
and that takes time to arrange. I decided to use the metal shelving, but as two
shorter shelves on tables, and not the tall one standing on the floor. I’m not
sure I liked that so well since the shelves take up a lot of table space. I also
decided to try using the metal squares differently and that worked well. Instead
of making boxes that things could sit on, I made them vertical pieces that I hung
skeins on, using S hooks I found at Home Depot. It worked well and I think I’ll
expand on that. Maybe do more of those and not use the second shelf. Once I was
all set up, it was a matter of sitting there. What I generally like best is
talking to the kids. And I love watching the really little ones that are
fascinated by the rabbits or the spinning.
That is usually pretty fun.
So on
to today. Blah. I must first, I suppose, empty the car. Just didn’t have the
energy to last night. Breaking everything down was really nice because, once
again, of the students. And loading up was not so bad (I wasn’t worried about
the order of what I put in which I was for loading to go to the fair since I wanted
to be sure to get the tent out and up first so everything wouldn’t get wet). But
I was still too tired of it all to unload last night. I got home around 5:30,
and I decided to meditate, then I had to feed buns and after that I really
needed to cook some. I browned some meat then put it in the same sauce as I had
made for the curry last week since there was a lot left. I hope it turns out
well. It smells good anyway.
So this
morning: finish this, I have already taken psillium and pills (yuck), get
dressed, feed buns, unload the junk, then walk into town to Black Sheep. My main
job for today is grading. I need to do the quiz page (the prof gave me the easy
one which is nice) and I have the graphs. I’m thinking it would be really nice
to get those done to hand back today so they could get some feedback before
they hand in the assignment due this week. We’ll see how that goes.
