7 am
Tuesday.
LOVELY TUESDAY! I feel as if I would like to spend the entire day today doing
absolutely nothing. I won’t as there really is a lot to be done, but at least I
will start slow. I will write my pages, meditate, do my stretches. Feed the
buns, eat some breakfast. Then who knows. I will decide later what to tackle
when. I dreamed that I came home and our new housemate had invited this whole slew
of people over and they were throughout the house. They were also very strange
and of all ages. And I went into our bedroom and found the tiny heater that K
had left running all day. And I was knitting, somehow P and P and the boys were
involved as were my kids, and in the middle I was trying to teach a young G to
knit, and it involved sticking the needle into a stitch and pulling through a
chocolate chip. Only she ate the chocolate chip. So there you go. Dream journal
like I used to keep so assiduously and then finally threw away. Maybe it comes
of reading Cloud Atlas til just
before I went to sleep. It has finally reached some level of satisfying, or at
least I can anticipate satisfaction bc I just looked ahead and realized that
each of the situations I’ve been reading about, and been so abruptly yanked
from each time, gets returned to. So maybe we get to actually find out what
happens to all these people. I certainly can’t figure any of it out, not sure
if secrets get revealed or what.
Yesterday
was quite a day. I had the first blood lab and it was more or less chaos. Not only
that but I really screwed up. They all painstakingly gathered blood into the
capillary tubes which they sealed and we put into the centrifuge, then I promptly
shut it and turned it on without screwing the cover over the samples to hold
them in place. So they all went spinning off and crunched up. It sucked really
really royally. I felt awful but there actually wasn’t time to get very upset
bc everyone was so busy trying to count the wbcs. And it was a three ring
circus with me trying to help them. I have no idea if their data is anything at
all. Well, who cares, it is what it is. And towards the end, 4 of them were
willing to get another sample for the
centrifuge so we got 4 hematocrit counts and I was able to show everyone that
was still there by the time it finished how to measure it. I will add my own
count to the data sheet. And maybe we will combine data from the 2 labs. It took
me a long time to clean the centrifuge with lots of bleach. There is probably still
glass in it somewhere. Anyway, I didn’t end up getting the bus until 6. And even
with that I left the lab a mess. Well I will finish cleaning and setting it
back up tomorrow.
K had
made supper (fish, and some packaged rice and frozen vegetables, surprise!)
which was good because it was so late. Even though I made the casserole on Sunday
for us, it would have taken forever to heat it up, so we will have that
tonight. And then I sat and read CA, and after that I fed buns and actually had
the slight bit of energy left to ply the boucle with thread. And I started a
bit of new overspun angora to do more boucle. My goal is to get enough to make
a hat of it, see how that turns out.
Well,
there is a lovely sunrise appearing. I am sitting in bed partly bc it was so
dark when I started. Looks like it might be an actual lovely day today. And I think
maybe this weekend will be the end of Daylight Savings so the mornings won’t be
so dark. But it will get dark so very early. And stay that way until March.
I’m
actually feeling a little lonely this morning. I suppose I could get down there
and finish the weaving, then get my friend to come over to weave. Except if it
is a lovely day, I don’t want to spend it in the basement. So I could see if she
wants to come anyway and we can spin upstairs.
