7:40 am
I love
the time change! I am having one of my “lazy mornings” and it is still only
7:40. I even managed to meditate this morning, though I spent most of the 20
minutes coming up with things to say in a research guide for the students. I did
not do my stretches today and I will not run – what a lazy bum! But I might
take the T to Misty Bottom for a walk later. What I will also do is happily
card while I listen to Ender’s Game. And maybe move the table downstairs –
while I can still open the bulkhead. And
pluck some rabbits. And MUST DO’S:
·
Laundry
·
Empty dishwasher
·
PAY BILLS
·
Call accountant, Leader, furnace people, chimney
sweep
·
Write out grading rubric and START GRADING
But first I will
eat my oat bran cereal, get dressed, feed buns and start carding. As usual I am
kind of obsessed at the moment. I have carded up a bunch of orangey colors and
need to make a decision about what to combine. Sunday I started blending some
nice fine brown wool with some kind of bright and lumpy orange angora. I will
finish that first and re-card it because it is not blended very well. Then, in
the daylight, I can look everything over again and decide what to blend so that
once I have decided I can do it even if the light is bad. I will probably end
up with several different combinations which will give me lots of things to
spin. Oh, and L wants some white and dark wool spun up so she can knit some
patterned gloves. And I really need to get things ready for the next fair. I hope
I am inside, I have not heard back from them yet.
So I am hoping this is a nice
day. The week is a busy one. Not only the usual busy-ness of labs, but I am
also collecting and fixing water for the instructor for the 160 labs. And next
week is the jumping lab…… we’ll see how that goes. The Post-doc is supposed to
be writing it up. I think we will have to give upon using the LITS flips
because I just can’t get the computers to work with them. Though maybe I can
meet with the librarian about it on Wed. It, also, is a bit of an obsession
with me.
Funny to have Thanksgiving
coming and we have already had ours! Makes for an unexpected Free Time which is
wonderful. K will leave Tues, L will arrive Wed, I’m not sure what we will do. I
was just thinking that if I must take K to get a ride to work Tuesday morning, I
might just continue on and take Mom out to lunch at that lovely tea house. Though
it would get me there awfully early. I would have to find something to do,
maybe in Worcester (there is an art museum there I think) until closer to lunch
time, say 9-12.
My friend’s daughter has gone off
to her boarding school. My friend emailed her snail mail address. I think I will
write her a letter. I also must write to L and it would be nice to write G
since she does like mail (though from me, maybe not so much). But first: get
dressed and eat oat bran. Then: CARD!
