Exhaustion

7:30 am

                Well that was a hell of a week. Really just yesterday. And mostly just the last part of it at work. I spent a chunk of time doing really what was minor revisions to the lab manual for next week, but then couldn’t get it mailed to the prof (it is a huge pdf and that is a problem). I spent just as much time futsing with it and trying trying to get it to work one way and another. I figured I could use ELLA somehow, but ELLA was down and has been on and off for at least a week. They are working on it, I really hope it is resolved soon. I did finally manage to send it off 3 different ways after I got home. But I have not heard anything at all from the prof. Well, she got it or didn’t, I am no longer going to think about it. I also tried (after all that frustration when I was feeling none too energetic for more problems) to work on the respirometry stuff, which is going to be a huge nightmare. I didn’t get very far, so that will be the main focus of next week, all the time in between lecture, lab and by then I will have grading to start in on.  I sure ended the day feeling pretty grumpy and dissatisfied.

                I would love to have the entire 2 days of this weekend to do nothing for anybody, to do just what I feel like doing and when I feel like doing it. But there are ToDos of course. One biggie is that I need to start in on the rental room. He defended his dissertation Thursday which is fabulous. Last night he left for Boston where he is going to look for a place to live, and he hopes to move next week. He sure as heck better also have enough time to clean bc his room is a disaster. Meanwhile, we found someone last night to rent it starting Oct 1. The thing I need to do is finally repair those walls from when they guys came and insulated. It will be a pain in the ass and I’m not sure exactly how I will do it, but I had better get started. Groom needs it, too. If all goes well, I guess I can have time next weekend to really clean, if he is out by then. Because the last weekend in September I will be at the Apple Harvest all day.

                Speaking of Apple Harvest, or rather my booth, or spinning, or whatever, Thursday evening I spent at the downtown block party spinning near the band set up and handing out flyers about my class. It is pretty much the same thing I did last Saturday at the farmers market/furniture sale. It’s not at all a bad thing, just sit there spinning and talking to whomever comes by. Nice way to see people, too. I have handed out a lot of flyers, but I just looked at the lsse page and no one has yet signed up for the class. I need to do a big email sending the info to everyone I know, just in case. And put flyers up here and there. Not sure what else I can do. They will sign up or not. I will teach it or not. Of course, teaching it will be a stretch, what with work being so hard these days. Not as if I need anything else to work on.

                Other todo - The rabbit cages still need roofs put on. First thing of all – and this is good, I certainly am not complaining – I must send off a scarf and rabbit bc someone actually bought them from ETSY! I first have to find them, then wrap them up nice and send them off. Trip to the PO.

                Part of what made the evening spinning exciting was that K brought Tigger, who then had diarrhea all over my wheel bag. So then the rest of the time until we left he was dealing with trying to clean him up. We had arrived home from work pretty late (I got a ride home from K) around 6 to find the box of powdered milk all chewed up and spread around the kitchen floor. These days of 7am – 6 pm are too long for him to be home alone, waiting for his supper. Anyway, I assume that is what led to the diarrhea. I still need to clean the bag, another ToDo. K had to spend the evening when we got home washing Tigger, then setting up barriers to keep him in the kitchen just in case. He has been ok since then. I need to be better about keeping him on his leash so that he does not get into bunny poops.

                Last night after such a long day I suggested we get Mom’s for supper and get a movie. We did and the movie we got was Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.  It was odd and kind of disturbing, not exactly the thing, but well, we watched anyway.
