tuesday lovely tuesday


7:40 am
                I am sitting in this arm chair and my back was stiff when I sat down, so it is going to be very stiff when I get up. Just to be forewarned…  still I do want to write, so I will deal. And when I am done I will do my stretches which should help.
                Coming off a bout of nasty grading. It was not that bad, I say in retrospect. After all, I only had 2 sets, and we did have them just do the results and discussion. This week they turn in their independents which will be utterly nasty. Oh well. So I basically spent all weekend on that. Well I say all weekend, but really there were plenty of breaks. We walked Tigger in his wheels nearly to the Park. I carded several ounces of brushed light stuff, probably from Crystal. It is now all ready to spin which is nice. Friday night we went to dinner at ABC with L, which was nice. Ok the original idea was to get supper at Panera bc one of the spring break groups is doing a fundraiser there. But K got the day wrong. I’m glad that I showed them the flier before we ordered. They looked at it funny and then pointed out that it was the wrong day. Oh brother. So I guess we’ll have to go back there on Wednesday. We went to abc instead and it actually did turn out to be fun. I was so so so tired from the week. Oh, then late on Sunday I decided I needed some groceries, so I also decided to walk to the mall to get them and then K picked me up to come home. So I got in a walk. AND I got underwear and socks at Walmart. Woo hoo. And I made some bread and cooked up the rabbit – made a stew with cinnamon and orange peel, tomato, red wine, onions. It is certainly different and pretty good. So you see, it was hardly steady grading, there were plenty of diversions. But oh, boy it sure does take a long time.
                And today? I have more to grade! Just the microscope calibration worksheets. Trouble is that a lot of them are wrong at the end when we got rushed, so I think I may have them finish them in lab. One thing I could do would be to take that mirror to Easthampton to get looked at. I realize that would be the day to some extent, and that is annoying, but still, if I don’t do it now, when will I? It would be satisfying to get it done. K “tidied” yesterday so he moved a bunch of my stuff which really irks me. He put the mirror on top of my shelves. It is fine there, but really I should get it fixed.
                Yesterday after work (crazy day of running between 200 and  145) I went to Williamsburg to meet the fair co-chair and we went over the brochure. It was tedious, we went line by line. I sure as hell hope it turns out well, it was a lot of work. We met at a Chinese restaurant, and I had some sort of stuffed tofu special, and it was not that great. Of course I have tons of it left over, so now I have the rabbit stew and that for lots of left-overs.
                Poor T is really dragging his legs right now. I do feel awful about it. Now he is whining at me but I don’t know what he wants. He does like to sit by the front door with just the glass storm door so he can look out at the world. I opened the main door and that is where he is now.
                I think I will also bake the rest of the bread dough I made Sunday. It is in the fridge. I have been impatient the last few times and baked it right away after 1 rise, but I read something about how the gluten actually develops if it sits for a long time, which is why you do not need to kneed. So I left it in the fridge and we will see how it is.
