What must I do today… more bill
paying and such. I managed to enter checks from September, October. But that is
just a minor part of how bills are paid since so many are automatic and on
line. So I guess today I had better reconcile and do all the splits. G is going
to the Kestral trust event. It is a 5k run/2k walk along with a farmers market.
She will be just at the market. I had thought about the run part, I could
probably manage 5k – just barely. But I will probably end up just staying here
and trying to “get stuff done,” which kind of sucks. But there is a lot. And maybe
I will start with the financial stuff since that is the worst.
Yesterday
I managed to clean up under all the cages and put that into the compost bin. My
friend had come by during the week and taken quite a bit for her garlic. I should
not begrudge her that, I’ve let her take it for years. I did ask that she not
offer it to others, since in the past she has brought friends with her. I barely
had enough to fill the bin. What I really need now is a bunch of leaves, so I think
I will gather bags of those this year from the roadside when people start to
put them out. Then I can fill the empty middle bin, and layer it with leaves and
the bunny compost, which will serve to turn it. And if I have enough I will
fill one bin with just the leaves. I started to empty the bin that has been
working all summer. It is completely composted. Well, except for the big chunks
of wood I for some silly reason decided to put in there. It seemed like a good
way to get them to rot. And they are, but it is taking a long time, so there
are these big chunks that I run into with the fork. Wow the geese sure are loud
this year! Yesterday a big gang of them flew over and the same is happening
this morning. Yesterday I also cleaned up Crystal. Her coat was very loose but
also quite short. Not sure if that is bc she is getting older, or if her diet
needs work. She feels really fat, so I don’t want to feed her more, I just
wonder if she needs more protein. Or maybe it is the stress of being not only
old, but of having 2 pregnancies. I think I will not breed her any more. I ought
to look at the black babies, both of whom I think are due for a pluck. And maybe
see who else. And then there is the getting ready for lab that I had better do.
Well, I have to do it, since there is not much time tomorrow b/t lecture and
lab. I need to come up with a clear lesson plan and think about what I will say
at the beginning of the lab, and what in the middle.
We went
to see Argo last night. It was ok. I just felt like I really wanted something
nice to do. And that is all we could come up with. And I don’t even like movies
that much. What I would probably much more enjoy would be to go dancing. Or go
on a big hike. That would probably feel good. Several weeks ago we drove out to
find Graves Farm the relatively new Mass Audubon sanctuary. It was kind of a
pain to find, and it was a big drive, and it is just a short maybe 1 mile loop
trail, but still, it was nice to be out in the lovely woods. So odd and strange
that I don’t do it more. That I keep myself here in the house. Because I have always
so much TO DO, which I realize is a very
poor excuse. Well I guess I will feed the bunnies and feed myself, and maybe
meditate first (except it is cold out here in the sun room!) and then go tackle
the pile in the kitchen.
