8 am
Just getting
up and it’s already 8 o’clock what a lazy bum. Oh well. Had trouble sleeping
last night so it is just as well. And it is raining. I suppose that is just as
well too. No bike ride planned for today, as we are headed to Portland ME
tomorrow and will do a long ride there. I did my short hilly ride yesterday which
was fine. It took longer than I expected but then I did stop and bump into a
friend who I ran into mid ride. We talked about the New Yorker reading group
they are thinking of setting up. Odd because I also dreamed about it. Only in my dream it was not a New Yorker
group, but instead there was a wine and cheese component, and there was some
aspect of putting tiny frogs into containers to monitor their growth. Only I of
all people forgot to take initial measurements.
Today I
will need to pack. And I did not finish the account reconciling yesterday so I’ll
need to do that today. There are 2 buns that need plucking, but with the temperature
being nice and cool I do not feel so pressured on that. I did clip the white
female baby I plan to keep. She was quite mellow about it, even though she was
completely matted and it took a while.
Kind of
dull around here. It will be nice to see L this weekend. I am basically alone
all day, then K comes home and talks about his work, then he either disappears
to do something, or he gets on the computer. I miss my biking chums. And I will
sorely miss our current housemate when she leaves. I don’t think our new housemate
will be especially chatty. Of course by then work will start back up and I will
get plenty of chatting there.
I’ve
had about enough of Sherlock Holmes. All the stories are about the same. They all
show how extraordinarily clever he is. It is kind of dull. I do still have to
read Hound of the Baskervilles which is what book club is actually reading. I read
the others – Study in Scarlet and Group of Four (?) as extra. I have really not
been listening to my MP3’s of books. Just sort of trying to avoid it as it is
just a way to get out of my head, and maybe I need to be in my head sometimes. I
have reverted to the radio however, while spinning, cleaning up buns, or
cooking. Speaking of which, I think I will not cook tonight but just have
whatever is left from the past couple of nights. I think there is plenty in the
fridge. I do have several eggplants and
squash that will not keep until next week so I should think of something to do
with them. Zucchini bread!!! Not a bad idea. I can bring some to Lucy.
I found
out about a very intense bike ride that happens in Deerfield and up into VT
every year. It is a one day thing, a fundraiser for the Franklin Land Trust,
called D2R2. It is a lot of dirt roads and very very hilly. Not for me this
year, though when I sent a link to our chums, they thought it sounded just
fine. Ok, so maybe next year. Work up to it. it is also expensive and right now
we cannot spend anything extra until I figure out our finances and get G’s
tuition bill paid. Looks like one of my LSSE classes will happen, but probably
not the one for the younger kids. I have not really done any advertising, so it
is my own fault.
I contacted
the fair co-chair about getting together. I don’t think anything re the fair
has happened this summer – well, except they did print up the postcards. Boy part
of me (a big part of me) would love to not be involved at all!!). OK, time to
start my day.
