Well here’s
something new and different – Evening Pages. Not a bad idea actually. K has
gone to meet a potential renter, and I am here writing. Lovely. Only first I am
going to look up 2 things that I carefully stashed in my memory house to remember
to look up: how the moon’s plane of orbit relates to the earth’s, and what is that
dark green thorny plant growing out of the compost bin….. and perhaps I will
look up the movie Boyhood that I saw last night.
Well that
was interesting. I did not find the plant, but think it must be some kind of
nightshade or eggplant. And I got what I needed re the moon. It’s plane of
orbit is 5 degrees off from the earth’s, so somehow that means that the moon
appears to travel north, then south in its elliptical over the course of any
month. And how much it travels varies over something like 18 years. So there
you go. Did not look up Boyhood. Will do it later. I am tired now.
Was a
busy damn day. PT which is exhausting all in itself. I actually drove. I guess I
will drive myself to Dr tomorrow, though I am not that thrilled about it. It is
actually hard to drive as I really cannot use my right arm very much. I think I
will leave early enough to go to the dump to drop off all the accumulated
stuff. Including some of the fire damaged books from….. 20 years ago…. I have
saved out some of them and spent a while today looking up places that do
repairs. I will call a guy in Sept who might be able to fix them. I must see
how much it would cost. And I could have someone do the Just So Stories too.
And maybe the copy of Two Little Indians. I sure would love to get all those
fixed.
Other thing
I focused on today was cooking. I made some hummus, and some pita bread. We can
eat those tomorrow. And I made soup for today’s supper since it was pretty
chilly today. Still barely made a dent in the veggies! The pita bread worked up
well, so I think I will be ok with making some pizza dough and making a nice
eggplant pizza. Maybe Friday.
Yesterday
I managed to flesh the hides that I had put to soak in alum and salt. Then I
put them to soak for another 5 days. By which time they should be done. Trouble
is that these hides have really matted hair on them I suppose I should have
removed the hair first and just done these as skins, but too late now. I
suppose the best thing will be to clip the matts off once they are done and
dry.
Poured with
rain today. Actually good as we needed it. I think tomorrow will be nicer so
maybe I’ll be able to clip more grass/alfalfa/weeds for the bunnies.
Ok, my
arm aches. Time to stop.
