6:45 am
Oh so
strange, really this is now the start of summer. Classes ended early May. I
finished lab report grading, just in time for the exam. Did the exam grading
and we met in mid-May to finalize grades. Then was getting ready for the fair
which was May 24. And then I blasted into my lovely week at the farm right
after the fair. Came back from that Sunday night (after a bike ride on the rail
trail) and immediately had to get ready for our ride, but also spent most of
the half week on majorly sorting the sun room. I re-did the boxes so that the
big ones are on supported shelves so I can open them more easily. And I put the
cruddy metal file drawers in there and have put the books and papers in those
which opens more of the wooden shelf. Not that it looks any better, but it will
be better for finding things I think. Then I blasted through getting ready for
our ride. And then came the ride. And now we are home. Got back Friday night –
really Saturday 2 am. And since that we have re-organized all the bunny cages! We
moved them all so they have more shade which will be really helpful as summer
heats up which it will. I do need to make more space soon for the babies that
need to get away from Moms.
Wow. So
now what? Well I am actually alone. I do look forward to that, though I know it
will be hard in some ways after such a long time of lots of socializing, esp on
the trip. The really biggie is to sort papers. Ugh. And write emails. Ugh. And take
care of “things.” Ugh. “Things” being just all the stuff that has not been done
since I’ve been so busy. Like bills and reconciling and all like that. Towards
the end of the ride I started to look forward to getting back and doing some
spinning, which I have not yet had a chance to touch. So that will happen
today. After stretches, feeding buns, eating breakfast, - meditating?? I will put on the radio and spin the pink
stuff which will be lovely. I think I only have about 3 more bags of 3 oz each.
THEN I can start in on all the stuff I carded up at the farm. I did a huge
batch of a fiber sandwich with the long pink wool and all kinds of other stuff.
I hope it turns out well. Boy that seems so long ago, when I did all that
carding! Pre-trip. This summer will be organized in my head into “pre and post GAP/C&O
trip” and “pre and post Hudson trip” which is coming up at the end of July. And
after it there are just 2 weeks then I teach my LSSE classes and then work
starts. So that will be that. And since I am teaching a new (for me) class at
work I must read through the manual and get myself ready – I will need to do
things like make up a calendar during the summer to help with the beginning
rush of it all.
Sigh. The
kitchen is a major disaster as is the table and my desk. Papers are a major
disaster as is anything financial. And downstairs is a really major disaster
mainly because there are papers strewn everywhere. A goal of the summer needs
to be to get rid of stuff. It is all way too much. And organize the stuff we
keep.
I miss
my chums from the bike ride. It was quite different this year, as there were
just 8 of us so it was less frenetically social. There was obviously less
meeting people. But it was still very cheerful and lots of laughing. I hope the
others will do the facebook thing and get photos up. I just want to see
everyone’s photos. And hear friendly words from them all.
