7 am
So, bad
news for today is that I must go in to work to get the big package of liver
papers that I must absorb before lab on Monday. Crash course on liver structure
and function. Not that I must be an expert, but I at least have to figure out what
this case study is all about and how I am going to present it to them. And I did
order some livers for us to dissect, and I guess they are supposed to be
delivered soon, but I don’t think anyone will be on campus today, so I’m not sure
what that will mean.
So maybe
I won’t get to do much of the other stuff I had hoped to: pluck and clean up
some buns, work on the compost, get more things ready for the fair on Saturday.
Living hand to mouth again as usual. By which I only am referring to what I said
yesterday about dealing with what is most prominently in front of me. Little thought
to long term. But if I think long term I get quite worked up with worry about
how things will be in terms of our rapidly changing environment. Or I think
about degrading health, things getting worse, not better. So then it feels much
better to focus on the immediate that I can at least deal with. Like put in
another laundry, that can be satisfying. Do each little task as it comes up.
Yesterday,
before we left for Mom’s, I had to empty the car. It was full of 3 bags of
bunny feed, and many bags of leaves that I had picked up while Lucy and I did
errands. We drove by a yard with bags of
leaves in front. I had picked some up from the same yard the week before, but
hadn’t gotten them all, so here were the rest, and I decided to nab them. Filled
the car quite nicely with barely room for the bags of feed I also needed to
get. And when we got home I did not feel like emptying it. I had to finish some
work I was doing and then get supper on the table. So it got put off until it
really needed to be done in order for us to drive to Mom’s. Anyway, I fed the
buns, then I one by one dragged the bags to the compost and the feed to the
feed bin. And it was just this slow, tedious, step by step job. I was having
such a hard time doing this little thing. I suppose it did not help that I had
not eaten anything yet, had not had any tea or any such invigorating input. It was
just a step by step tedious task and I had to keep myself at it. In retrospect
it seems so silly. Other times and situations that would not be a big deal, it
just felt it then. Oh well.
I think
Mom very much enjoyed our visit. We hit traffic on the pike on the way in and I
started to get very worried that we would end up so late that we would miss the
dinner. It was not us I was worried about, but how disappointed Mom would be. But
the traffic cleared up and we got there in perfect time. The dinner was not
especially inspired, but it was fine. And Mom had bought some pie tha she
wanted to have for dessert in her apartment, so we went back up there. And then
I got caught up in looking at photos. We then drove home, got back around 4-30
just before L’s friend arrived from COA. In the car drive to Mom’s (G drove) I
finished a boucle headband, and started a pair of wrist-warmers, which I then
finished over the course of the evening. Also made carrot soup for the gang,
while G made tacos, and I listened to a bunch of the PlayAway I am currently
listening to – some mystery novel. There is no bus today, so maybe I will go in
with K at 10, then come back with him around 1. Guess I’d best get ready. I’d
like to meditate, but it is hard with so many people around and no quiet space.
It is quiet out here now, but I do not know when they will all get up, probably
soon. I could go to the sun room, but it is pretty darn nippy, as in 27
degrees.
