Mostly Garage



7:30 am
                I do not know how I am going to manage to get myself out the door by 7 to bike to work once classes start. That will only be Mon/Wed that I have to be there by 8, ready for class by 8:30. I will try at least sometimes. I did not ride at all yesterday – between the big ride and the late night dancing Tuesday I decided to take a day off. I spent the day instead on the garage. It is coming, but not there yet. And I am sick of doing it. I’m having a harder time these days doing things all on my own. Just feeling lonelier I guess. I could revert to the old technique of putting a story on to listen to. Remember how much fun it was making those cages several years ago as I was listening to Moll Flanders… and all the Dickens I listened to last year. I started to tackle the nails and screws, got them into little drawers that we have had sitting there empty for years. Now I need to organize the tools better. Which probably means buying some more racks and holders. I also need to make a dump/take-it-or-leave-it run so I guess I’ll get out and do those later. And can’t really do the dump on the bike (someday perhaps I will have a bamboo bike trailer and could do that) so I’ll need to drive. Maybe I can arrange to meet a friend briefly in town for tea.
                Another thing that needs doing today is to cook up all the tomatoes. And deal with the cantaloupe. I finally opened the watermelon last night and it is a bit past perfection, the texture is kind of coarse. But I am not so sure my digestion does well with watermelon.
                And then there are bunnies, several of whom still need to be brushed. I think I will try the molasses/oil mixture on a few instead of vasoline. And I will get some papaya enzyme, or rather look for it in the mall while I am out.
                And then there is the lichen fiber sandwich stuff I am spinning. I did a half ounce, I can do another and ply it and see how it looks. I should get myself in gear and do some serious knitting in prep for the winter fairs. I don’t know if I’ll get into the NE fiber fair at the Big E. we’ll see.
                Wow I don’t really have a lot to say. I just was having such a hard time getting going this morning, thought writing might help. I did my stretches, after this I will meditate, then get something together to eat, then do buns, or maybe do buns first since I am out here (in sun room). Then, ugh, I have to get started on something. The other thing I need to get myself doing is to start reading over the lab manual so I can get my head started thinking about the labs. Ugh again. Will I go for a ride today? Maybe. I could of course ride somewhere and end up at the mall. Or I could walk to the mall instead. Many options. Many choices. Many things I do not want to do. I did really enjoy being back at work in terms of seeing everyone and doing lots of chatting, which is mostly what I did on Monday. And then Tuesday I stopped for knitting at lunch which was really nice. I’ll go in tomorrow. Well, I am actually waiting to hear from the prof, so if she arranges a meeting, I guess I’ll even go in today. And all this says nothing whatever about all the things that need doing that I never get to like the huge pile in the kitchen. Well one thing at a time…. Or 3 things at a time and today I should focus on finishing the garage.
