More Class News and Spinning!


6:20 am
                I am really waiting to go into the b-room, but K has just gotten out of his shower and now I must wait for the shaving and toothbrushing to happen, all of which can take quite a long time. I just plain woke up, so I decided I would just plain get up. And I have at least taken my psillium and vitamin pills and gotten the fire started. But I really need to use the bathroom. It is distracting. And I am trying very hard to NOT do anything for Tigger. It is his responsibility. I must not do all that stuff for him. As the dishes are his responsibility and I must not do them.
                What I did all evening was to spin for L. She has been knitting her scarf from the stuff I spun over the weekend, but now she is nearly out and needs more. A lot more. She came over around 7 and started carding it; I helped with that at first. And read some of the Lord of the Ring appendices to her until once some was through 3 passes through and I started spinning. I got one full bobbin, need to fill another and ply, and keep going tonight to finish as she will be leaving early tomorrow for her winter wilderness trip. With HER car, as she did get all the insurance, registration and inspection done yesterday. Very exciting. I must now cancel Mom’s insurance.
                Other big news from yesterday is that, instead of teaching 3 labs for Bio 200, I will be teaching 2 labs and also prepping for 2 other classes. It was because we only have enough students for 11 labs, but we have 4 Instructors who were each scheduled to teach 3 labs. So one of us needed to do just 2 and to prep. It was kind of a process to decide who and to figure out a schedule, so I finally just said someone decide and tell me what I am supposed to do. And that is what got decided. It will have its good and bad aspects. Some weeks will probably be hard, but the good thing is that I will only have 24 of those odious reports to deal with.
                I am also NOT doing anything for Tigger (oh, I said that) but I do have to listen to K deal with him and open and close the door and sigh and grump. Oh well.
                Anyway, I will now have to do a crash course in what those 2 courses will be needing for materials, etc. I have not taken any work home for quite a while and I won’t do that today as I will need to come home early and spin. Well, just found out that K will not be home between work and his class tonight (spring break class) so I will not have to do any kind of fancy supper production. I made rabbit meatballs last night. I would not have gone to such a bother, but the rabbit I had thawed was labeled “old rabbit” on the bag, and I did not have lots of time to let it stew, so I decided I had better grind it up. Which of course is a big production. But there is plenty left over, so I will not bother to cook anything, just have left overs. And spin. Which is not a bad thing, it is just that I will also have to do everything for Tigger which I pretty much had to do yesterday, too, since K did not get home until late. I tried taking him out in his little wheeled cart yesterday, but it did not work very well if you ask me. His feet are not raised high enough. With his bootie on his feet get in the way and he gets all tangled up. He can go backwards but not forwards. Maybe, since I will have to be doing it this afternoon, I will try either attaching the foot rests, or raising the whole thing up. It is somewhat adjustable, and it looks like it just needs an allen wrench.
                Ok, so now I must: do stretches, shower, do buns (and it is REALLY COLD this morning), get breakfast, gather stuff, get dressed. Not exactly in that order. Once Kent leaves (soon I think) I will do stretches.
