New Bunnies and Wristers and Derailleurs



7 am
                K has gone off to Trash to Treasure to drop off the 2 chairs from the rental house, in hopes that they will accept them and sell them. Sometimes they are picky about what they accept, so we shall see. I suppose the smart thing, if I want to meditate, would be to do that first while I know he will be gone so I don’t get interrupted.
                One of the big things I need to do today is figure out what to do about the bike derailleur. I guess I will find out when the bike store is open and see if they have hand grip derailleurs and how much they are. I think the one I have is kind of crappy and is getting worn out. Then the question is can I figure out how to put it on.
                Other thing for today – someone is coming at 10 to bring me two satin rabbits. Well the good news is that the woman finally came and took two rabbits – she bought Bathsheba and Excelsior so at least it is no net change. I still need to somehow move out the 4 guys. I had planned to keep one of the fawn males, but if I get these 2 (male and female) new ones, it does not make sense to keep another male. They are both reds. It will be exciting to get satins as I have never had them. .
                What the hell else? I guess I am more or less ready for lab on Monday, though after meditating I was lying there thinking of things we should do differently. So I suppose I had better write those down. And the garage…. I had better finish that up. I left a whole bunch of drill bits all over the bench waiting to get sorted. I should just decide which ones to keep and get rid of the rest. Oh blah.
                I knit one kind of little wrist cuff. It is probably too small to be an actual wrister with thumb hole, though it might work for a child. I am doing the same with the skein of the purple stuff that I plied with thread. It will also be small. I suppose I could combine the 2 to make longer wristers. Well, we’ll see how these come out. I am thinking that I might spin the stuff up kind of a thick single, then just ply with the thread rather than using 2 strands of the purple. If I try hard to slightly over spin the single, then I can ply carefully with the thread to better hold the bits in place. An idea.
