7:30 am
Well after
the very long day yesterday I would like to spend today doing absolutely
nothing. Of course what I should do
is take lots and lots of photos of things to put up on my Etsy shop. And that
is always very time consuming and frustrating. Maybe I could do it with the
idea in mind that at 3 I’ll go over to the KO show, then at 8 there is the
puppet theater at the observatory. I don’t know if K will join me for either. Well
I know he does not want to go to the regular KO performance - a lesbian
juggler. Maybe he’s had enough of lesbian acts after last nights lesbian duo. Funny
they kept making a big deal about that and we kept wanting to say – you’re
practically in Northampton, this is not a big deal here! I enjoyed hearing
them, and especially sitting out in the late afternoon as the sun was starting
to set, with the huge sycamore tree as a backdrop and watching the birds dart
out overhead for their final evening forays.
I would
also like, this morning, to go to Black Sheep and just sit there for a long
time. I did not go last week, mostly because I feel like it is not the best to
go when we can’t walk, eating croissants without the walk to earn them feels
like cheating. But Tigger is not up for such a long walk any more. And the
other reality is that it does take a long time, to walk there, do the newspaper,
then tea and croissant thing, then walk back. And the morning is gone. I think I
will go with K and the T and just drive up. And I won’t run this morning
either. Just going to be lazy.
At some
point, pretty soon, I need to empty the car. I think I will put the fair stuff –
just the tables and tent and that kind of thing – in the garage of the rental
house. I’ll put it all together in one pile and that might actually make it
easier to load up. Of course it will mean putting the yarn etc in the car here,
then driving over there, taking that out, and reloading. Or maybe going there
first. That part will be a pain, but I think it is worth it to continue to try
to clear out the garage. I spent a good while Friday making holders for the Styrofoam
heads, and it is just so hard to do anything at the work bench!
Another
ToDo for today is to pluck/clip/clean up some bunnies. Some really need it for
the heat, some of the babies just are covered in matts, and some are just at
that point. Right now they need to be fed and it is very unfair because I am
sitting out here on the deck where they can see me and they are probably
wondering…..
Etsy photos.
Hmmmm. I wish I knew a way to make it easier. I have the little photo box set
up, but it still seems like I take photo after photo then spend hours on the
computer trying to choose the best ones. It is the color that is hard. AND I need
to get cracking on spinning up more angora. I was quite surprised yesterday at
how many skeins of just angora I sold. I’ll finish the pile of fawn that I weighed
out, then start in on another color. AND I need to get things ready for the
classes that are coming up fast. I should really think about who I might be
able to find to be a helper with the younger group.
Right now
I am actually just tired. It sure is a long day, getting up at 6, doing all the
morning stuff that needs to be done (and I remembered then that I should write
up a little blurb about the classes which I am very glad I did), then getting
over to the fair, unloading, setting all up (it was so good to have Carol show
up to help), then all day, talking talking talking. Of course it is nice to see
folks I know, and the folks I don’t know were generally very nice and it is fun
to talk to them, just tiring. Then the worst part is taking everything down,
packing back up, dragging it to the car,
loading it up, taking it all home. And then last night we went to the farm
pot-luck. In reality I was too tired to go, but felt obliged, especially as K
had already made a Tunisian salad for it and everything. And he came to get me
at the end but I was not very ready so he had to do a lot of loading, which I don’t
think he liked. Still and all, I think it was a bit easier with the new black grid
set up.
Ok time to feed buns.
