8 am
Nasty start
to the day…. Among other things, I ripped my toenail while of all thing putting
on my sock. Oh brother. Well maybe it will be uphill from here. For one thing –
I have NO GRADING to do! That is a good thing. I woke up thinking it was
Sunday, and it is only Saturday which is another good thing. A whole free day. I
have on the agenda today to make a bûche de noel for the party tonight, and I may also make
some veggie chips. And spin. I put together a lot of packages for spinning 1
ounce skeins of angora. I have 3 more ounces of the black, then close to 9 each
of light fawn, darker fawn and chocolate. That should keep me quite busy all
winter. And later today I would like to go to the rental house garage to see if
there is a desk I could bring over to set up for myself. I very much need a
desk. K has papers and stuff stacked everywhere and I feel squeezed out, so I need
a space to organize for myself. So that is a big big project.
What
else? I just looked up bûche de noel to get the proper spelling and got
distracted reading all about the tradition. Well for me, it is just a remnant
from Madame to Manouille’s French class in 7th grade. She gave us
the recipe and there you have it. Well it will go well with a solstice
celebration as it has pagan connotations.
Yesterday
I was doing some things, thinking about what would come next, was on the big
computer for some reason (I was going to look something up. I had just looked
up cactus farming in Mexico, one of those references in Under the Volcano that I wanted more info on) when G asked if I wanted
to go to Lone Wolf. I am such a sucker – anything they want. Well really, for
me, it is any time they want to do something with me, I am there. So we did
have a good time. We had a waffle and some goat cheese and spinach version of
eggs benedict. Then we ran errands – library, bank, so that was good. And then
we got home and not only did I put together all those spinning packages, I also
cleaned out the fridge…. Always a big job. It had been smelling rather bad
lately, so I think that will help. I also started yogurt and buttermilk for
quark.
Ok this
is the third poop I have removed from Tigger’s butt. I am getting sick of this.
Everywhere I go I swear I smell like dog poop. Anyway time for K to shave or clip
his butt hairs again. We’ll see how he does at the kennel. Poor dog.
Maybe later
today I will even start a new rag rug. I have lots more of the green bedspread from
the farm and the old brownish one from my old childhood room all cut into
strips and I think I will use those. Oh but first I must feed Bella and the
buns. Just 2 more days then we head to A’ville and G to Portland. Not sure if
she will come back here before she heads to A’ville. She is packing up a bunch
of stuff for us to take down there. But not snakey. I get to take care of
snakey, lucky me. And today I get to take care of Bella. Also lucky me.
