8 am
Well I should
start by saying that I have been doing reasonably well the past several days. I
guess the reality is that when I feel ok I am too busy to write. Wednesday I had
quite a nice time; I had myself a “café crawl.” Kind of like a pub crawl only
different. As in, each place I went I graded another paper. First one cafe
where I got tea and a palm. Graded one paper. Then on to another where I got
more tea (it was only 11) and a breakfast sandwich and graded another paper. Then
on to a third where I got the nastiest mint tea and a stale chocolate cookie
and still managed to grade 2 papers. It was kind of fun and I felt productive. Even
though a lot of time was involved not to mention the cost of all these goodies.
I got home around 4 and had only graded the 4 papers. Still, at least it felt
kind of fun. Thursday I did get started pretty early. I knew the guy working on
the basement was coming around 9 so
first I had to put drop cloths around in the basement and clear up the carding
stuff. Oh, I did get some carding in – I carded up the dark orange stuff with
some dark fawn – 8 ounces total. And now I am doing the same amount of the
bright orange with white, a bit of fawn, and some light brown. Anyway, I had to
move it out for him to work. Then I started in on grading. Only then, a friend appeared
to weave. I got her tea, then got her set up, and brought the carding stuff
back down and set it back up. She left around 1? Or noon? And I cleaned the
carding back up, and went back to grading. Managed to get 2 more done. I have
TWO left. And then I took a break and plucked 2 rabbits, or finished Crystal
and started Ethyl. I managed to eat something and even watch a bit of 12 Angry
Men and got to bed early, which has been pretty crucial to getting enough rest
lately.
Yesterday
turned out not so great. I went in to work – left about 8:15 and stopped at the
cafe on the way. I got 2 palms this time so I could give one to my office mate.
She has had a rather crappy week herself. I started putting things around for the
profs, then we all met at 10 and for about 2 hours we hashed out what they will
do next week. After that I spent a while setting things around, and luckily my
coworker mentioned that, though she heard us talking about planaria, none had
arrived with the animal order Thursday. Well that is because dumb-ass me had
not ordered them. So that added a big step to my day – I drove out to the
animal supply place – getting lost along the way – and picked up planaria. Got some
hydra too, as the ones we had were looking pretty insipid. And I did some
errands on the way home, so arrived at 5. To find a disaster. Tigger had chewed
through all the cords on the back of the computer. Even the cord of the nice
new keyboard that my neighbor gave me after he chewed through the cord of our
original one earlier in the week. I put the computer up on the desk and am
leaving it all for K to deal with. I can still get on the internet, so screw
the rest. I did tell him when he called last night and suggested that he might
need to bring the computer back down stairs.
So now I
get to start my day. One good note: I gave Tigger one of his chill pills before
I went out last night. Then when I got home I gave him his usual 2. Then at
about 3 I woke up and gave him another. So he did not wake me up. I got up at 7
and put his food in his dish. He did not come out to eat it until after I’d done
the buns. Now he is outside. Probably
vegging poor guy.
