Computers and Cages and Summer's End

8:30 am

                Yesterday was kind of crappy. I spent a good part of the day messing with the computer. I was having issues with the start up and installing updates, so I went on-line to see if I could find ideas, and one suggestion was to upload the updates individually, so I figured out how to do that and did it which was time consuming. And I kept obsessively looking at computers on Craigslist. But I think L has decided that she should get a new one from Best Buy. I don’t think she has the patience to do things like look for solutions to random problems on line, which I have had to do a few times. What I really need to do is back off and leave her to figure these things out herself. I have too much of a tendency to help her which is nice but probably not the best for her. K made this point last night, she has to figure out how it is to be without a car, without a computer, so she can figure out what of these kinds of things she needs and then how she will get one. What I did accomplish was to get her past the idea that if she wants a computer, she must have an apple. Not true.  

                The other thing I did yesterday was to finally finish the second hutch bottom, which was truly a pain. Of course both now need new roofs so that is the next project. Once they are finished I can put rabbits in them so that I can fix the other 2 cages that need new bottoms. Complicated. And I washed dishes and hung out laundry and dug some compost so the day was not a complete waste. I hope I can spend some spinning time today. I hate it when all my “fiber” time is spent fixing cages and digging compost. Why bother having rabbits if that is all I get to do? Well, it usually isn’t, just yesterday. And I listened to a bunch of Barnaby Rudge which I don’t think is Dickens’ best, but it is fun to listen to. I am quite confused about who all the characters are and how they are connected, but that is normal with Dickens, and it all will come out in the end.

                Work next week. Boo hooo. I should really not cry, it is interesting and stimulating and probably way better than if I did not have it starting back up. And I will just have to make time to spin. Apple Harvest is at the end of September, so I must be sure I have enough angora spun up for that. I think I will be ok. I have been knitting up some nice hats, now I will need to knit a few angora things, some scarves, some mobias scarves, maybe a hat. Just a few things since I actually sold quite a few at the Big Brother Big Sister fair. I need to look into the Garlic Fest which is the same weekend this year. Maybe I should do it next year instead of Apple Harvest.
