7:30 am
It’s
way too cold out in the sun room to sit and write, so I am sitting in the
living room instead. No fire in the stove yet, too much bother for that, but
soon…… and soon I must do my stretches, feed the buns (F the Bs) and get
started on the day. I was in bed for 11 hours last night. I think my feeling
kind of crummy all day yesterday was due to coming down with something. I felt
like I was starting in with a cold over the weekend, then it seemed like Monday
it just settled into my stomach. I did fine in lab, but even there I just felt
crummy. I did manage to get to the Registry, and I picked up our share at the
farm, and I came home and fed buns and had supper (of fish….) but after that I
had zero energy for any cooking which is what I had been intending to do – deal
with the rabbit meat and start the jerky and now I have all these share
veggies. But I did none of it, instead I got into bed, read the rest of Gabriela and went to sleep. And slept
til about 15 mins ago. And had lots of complicated dreams. So that is that. I
feel a bit better today. I think I will not try the really early morning gym
thing. Instead I’ll try to have things together enough to go after lecture.
Today –
I will do that cooking, and get things ready for the fair (twist and label
skeins, try to finish the scarf that is nearly done), and grade the Thursday
group papers, and see if I can revise the manual from here. I need to install the correct program into
all the computers tomorrow, but I don’t think that will make too much
difference in how I explain things. Though I am not sure I can really explain
it if I am not actually doing it at the same time.
What
will I do for fun? Well, the cooking part should be fun enough. I’ll have the
radio or Mill on the Floss to listen
to. I am not finding the switching readers in that Librivox recording to be as
distracting as I had thought. I do prefer one reader all the way through, but
it is also kind of fun to hear how different people do it.
I have
kind of a headache coming on, maybe more manifestation of this cold or whatever
it is. Yesterday the students first heard about their independent and started
brainstorming about it. I hope it turns out well. I can’t be that much help as
far as things that work well as I have never done it. One student wants to do
something related to her asthma and breathing, so of course we have all the
respiration stuff. But I don’t know how the logistics of her using it will
work. I guess it will have to be sometime when either Sarah or I can be there
to open the room. I don’t think we want all that equipment and the computers in
an unlocked room. That will take some figuring.
Oh, the
other biggy that I must work on today is the rental room. I did nothing at all
about it over the weekend. I think his plan is to move out today, so that will
help. Now the question is, will I be able to figure out how to and then manage
to fix the walls. It shouldn’t be too hard, though once I put the squares of
sheetrock back in, I will need to caulk the joint and then really I should
paint. I don’t know if I have a car today – looks like not. So if I need stuff
to help me out, I guess I’ll have to wait until Kent gets home, or else bike
which I don’t want to do with this cold thing going on. Well I will get started
on it.
The
thing I find disturbing is how tired I am once I get home and deal with supper
and feeding buns. By then I seem to be completely beat and unable to do
anything else. It is discouraging. Maybe it is because I am having to start up
so much earlier than past years. Well, I will have to try to ease off a bit in
terms of obsessively getting in with K (which means leave here around 7) and
coming home with K (which means leave work at 6). If I take the 7:45 bus, it
gets me there in time for lecture. And I can take the bus home and get here
more like 5 or 5:30 which on days that I must do supper (most days) that is
better than getting home at 6:30.
