8:15 am
At the
farm. Everyone else seems to be in the dining room having breakfast. I am in the living room –I would sit nice and
quiet outside except it is really nippy. G will drive up today. She went to the
beach in Rhode Island with the farm crew yesterday, and emailed last night to
say that she left her cell phone there. Suckola. Not sure what vast amount she
will have to pay to replace it. We probably are eligible for an “upgrade” but
they still charge a lot. Well, her problem.
I am
dealing with the turkey. It cost $85 and I have been the one to supply it for
many years now, and no one has ever offered to pay. I suppose they could figure
that one could get one much cheaper at the grocery store, so if I insist on
getting this local, fresh turkey, that is my business. But I am feeling
resentful this year. And the whole business is apt to be annoying anyway, what
with having to deal with Tigger who is not doing well. And K disappeared and
left him with me. Damn. I actually wish I could have stayed home this weekend.
Well,
here I am. I must cook this turkey, and other than that I have shitloads I should
do for work. I MUST email students today about their independents. And there is
some stuff I need to research, like finding a more reasonable mood test, since
the one the prof gave me is really complicated. And find out more about the
urine chloride concentration test so I can understand how to evaluate the
results, especially given the inaccuracy in the instructions about the size of
a drop.
I got
up early, after sleeping extremely poorly, and put the turkey in to roast. I also
made regular stuffing and put it in a casserole to bake later. At some point
fairly soon I will need to start basting it. Once G gets here maybe she will
make the greens. I don’t know if she wants to make other stuff, like roasted
vegs. I did not bring any of those. It seems like I brought gobs of food, but I
guess it was mostly onions, milk, bread, salad, and the greens. But they won’t
take very long to cook. I am not thrilled about all this. I am tired and
overworked, and actually wish I were just at home this weekend and could relax
a bit. Unfortunately it is chilly so it will be hard to escape from everyone by
being outside.
I need
to think of something nice. I did bring a bunch of knitting. I want to make a
nice felted bag to hold this tiny computer – give it a bit of padding. I brought
the rest of the variegated rainbow dyed brown/blue/reddish skeins. I think there
will be enough, I’ll have to guestimate the number of stitches to use. Maybe I should even make a swatch to felt…
What else???????
Time to keep thinking re purpose in life…..
as in, why the hell do I post these silly things on my “blog” which is
worthless? Why do I do the fiber stuff? Why do I bother paying $85 for a turkey
and cooking it all?????
I think
it is now time to make French toast for breakfast. And have some tea. With lots
of half and half.
