Easter Weekend

8 am

                So happy happy Saturday. What will the day bring? Always a question. Well I have done my stretches, and fed the buns and had my delicious psillium so that is all ok. I have sorted and folded a bunch of old towels and rags. Now I am waiting for K to get up. We are going to go to Davenport Maple Farm for bfast. This I decided last night bc I need to get fair brochures to a committee member who works there and that seems like a reasonable way to do it. It’s a bit of a drive, and K does not want to do the driving as yesterday he drove to work, drove back up to participate in the Good Fri service at Grace, then back to work and then back home. When I got home at 6 he was asleep on the couch. I crawled straight into bed myself (I was BEAT) and when I got up (starving) at 7:30 he was still asleep. So there you go. Anyway I’ll do the driving. I do wish he would get up so we could get going. I suppose after I write I could go wake him up. 

                And what about the rest of the day? Well big thing: G’s FAFSA. And then there is grading to catch up on. I have the Fri lab ferns to finish. And the Angio II drawings. The latter should not take very long. The former at least I am partly through with. So it should not be too bad. Next week they turn in their barley assignment. And then there are 2 weeks of plant projects for which they turn in nothing, then there is drosophila and chicks and there are no assignments for either. Then they turn in the plant report and so that will be a bitch to grade. And  meanwhile, I am a bit swamped with the 145 prep, but for 2 weeks they will do their projects. After that are 2 more labs (?) at least one of which  - the chordates – I think will be a bitch. So really it is kind of up to the wire for all that.

                I finished carding all the lovely soft orange stuff, and Sunday I organized it into packets for spinning. Now I get to spin it. If I ever get started. That should be nice. I must spin it quite tight as some of the white stuff is rather short. I will spin it tight and thin. Maybe I can do a bit today. Then tomorrow we leave around 10:30 to meet the entire gang for Easter dinner. This started as me arranging to take Mom out for easter. Because no one else was available to do that. Wasn’t sure if Lucy would join us, but I made reservations for 4. Then sis 1 texts that she and N would like to join us. Fine. Added 2. Then I get an email from sis 2 that they want to come too (their kids are all busy w/ the “other” families). Fine. Add 2 more. Then sis 3 texted 2 days ago to say that she was feeling left out and wanted to come to. Oh brother. Now it is the entire primal family, plus Lucy lucky Lucy. I still have to call to add 2 more to the res. So that will take a good chunk of the day. Res is for 12:30. I guess we’ll finish around 1:30, then we will drive Mom home and I will balance her checkbook. So we will leave around 2:30, home by 4. That is the day. And then there will have to be supper of course. No doggy bags from a buffet. And then it all begins again. I sure hope there is absolutely nothing planned for next weekend. Let’s see, first person will be Monday, and spinning on Tues. But bookclub will not be until the next weekend. It sure would be really nice to actually have an entire weekend “off.”
