What a
treat – all alone today! Well, me and Tigger…. Maybe I will spend the day
spinning… yesterday I ended up doing far more cooking once again than perhaps I
should have. I made another batch of the potato crisps and they are very tasty
but they do take time. And I also made roasted garlic. It did not seem to be
very popular. I ended up bringing a lot of it back. It ended up being a how to
keep chickens gathering, which is I guess what K meant when he called it a
chicken whisperers party. I was afraid, as the intent became more clear, that
it was going to be a tuperware party for chicken keepers, with the presenters
being chicken dealers trying to sell us chicken keeping equipment. But it was
just a couple who live in Shutesbury and keep chickens, and other folks that I guess
the host thought might be interested. And it turned out to be a reasonably nice
crowd and at least it meant I could participate in the conversation reasonably
well. One of his neighbors has a daughter who is in Portland OR working as a
naturalist at the big Forest Park there. Would be nice if I could figure out a
way to connect her with G, but I suppose she would balk at that.
What else
did I do yesterday? I did manage to do some spinning. Finished the singles of
black angora, now I ply them and am done with that. On to the brown. Tigger wanted to go outside and now he is out
there barking. Well I am just going to let him. It is nearly 8, if anyone is
not yet awake, too bad. And being winter everyone’s windows are closed, so I’m
hoping they won’t hear him anyway. Yesterday’s other project was to attempt to
feed Snakey. I took him out first while I got everything ready, then I put him
back in with fresh water and a nicely thawed mouse, but he has not touched it. He
did look like he will shed soon, so whether it is that, or that I bothered him
by taking him out, or maybe he was cold while we were away and that put him off
somehow I don’t know. G said to leave it there for a full day and maybe he
would eat it. Otherwise take it out and try again next week. I guess I’ll wait
until he sheds.
Oh, the
other thing I need to do today is lots of financial stuff. I will enter the
rest of the checks for the year and go back to all those credit card bills and “split”
them. I sure would like to start in on tax stuff early this year. And I will do
the FAFSA based on last year’s tax. Tomorrow is New Year’s, so one more day
home – yay! It will be first person at night, so I’ll need to go to that. Then back
to work on Wednesday. And there is plenty to do there. First I guess I’ll
continue the work sorting organizing and putting lab equipment away. And in
between I can take some time to write up things from last semester before I forget.
I also need to send a letter to the folks that signed up for my spinning class.
I ought to do that today.
Time to
do stretches, get dressed and feed buns. Bart was not looking especially happy
last night, he did not eat his food. So I gave him a dose of vasoline. I hope
he is better today.
