blah blah blah


7:30 am
                Yesterday was a really long and busy day, so today I feel justified in lazing about a bit. That said, I REALLY want to be sure that the whole day is not taken up with MUST DO’s. I want to be sure I get some time to do good stuff, creative stuff. Specifically I want to do some carding. The spinning I have happening now is just fawn angora which is fine, but not especially creative.
                Yesterday I had to take care of the exams before lecture, then finish getting things ready for the lab. And finish grading last week’s assignments. I spent a really long time making up some sheets showing cat muscles to have on lab benches for reference. We’ll see how useful they are.
                Also today I must get into town for a haircut at 10. And I arranged tentatively to do a quick trip to Black Sheep before with a friend. We’ll see if she is actually there by 9:30. She is ALWAYS late, so I may have to be prepared to just have my tea on my own, which would be fine. I was thinking I might bike in to town, but it looks like it is rainy, so maybe not.
                At some point today (tonight) I need to grade the Wed assignments, tomorrow I won’t have time as I will be meeting with a student in the morning. In fact, it might mean that there is no time to run tomorrow, but I guess I can leave at 8:15, have time to run and still get to the meeting at 10. Just means that I must get all the grading done tonight. I guess thurs morning and Fri I will have to work on future labs. Really the only biggies to work on now are the jumping ones – human and toad. Not too bad.
                I am kind of rambling here. Maybe later today I will also take a few more skein photos and post them…. And I want to make a sweet potato soufflé for supper. It is certainly sweet potato season at the farm right now. I will have to search out recipes that do not involve marshmallows.
                I wonder if I could gird myself to write a Seasonal Letter this year. I used to enjoy it so much, it just turned into something not very nice with the way K reacted. It kind of soured it for me. Hard to be amusing when I don’t feel that way so much any more. If I wrote one it might be really just totally boring. And who do I send them to? – lots of family which is completely stupid since I don’t think a lot of them care so much. And it seems kind of egotistical. And so now K writes his version and sends it out to his connections. Very much a typical kind of aren’t I great kind of thing. Which I guess mine were too – at least the egotistical part. Who the hell cares about random details of my life? Who wants to hear my ramblings (certainly if the number of “hits” to this blog are any indication……. Not too many!)? Well I guess part of the impetus is to reconnect to some of the folks I have been so bad about staying connected to. So many folks do all that through facebook, which is really not my thing at all. Can’t see wasting my time with it. I’ll have to think about it, or meditate on it, or cogitate over it, or consider it over the next bit of time.
