6:30 am
For some
reason this morning, having done nothing else yet (except have my psillium –
YUM) I feel compelled to write. After that I will meditate, then do whatever is
next: stretches, bunnies, breakfast. My class is now > ½ over which I am
glad of. It is pretty tiring/wearing. They are good kids, but they are having a
very hard time mastering spinning. The old solid-wood, hand-made wheel keeps
breaking – the footman plastic piece broke, I replaced it with bike inner tube –
very brilliant of me, but that pulled out, I fixed it, it pulled out again. I have
brought it home and given up on it, except that I ordered a new part, but that
won’t come until after the class is over. Today we will start out focusing again
on spinning, then we will do some felting. I wish I could keep them longer on
the drop spindles, but of course they all want to move to wheels which look
like a lot more fun. Next time I will not even bring wheels until later in the
week. Not even let them know they are available.
After class I
got together with a friend who happened to be in town. It was nice except I made
the big mistake of having black caffeine-rich tea. And could hardly get to
sleep last night. I thought I might sleep later, but woke up and so why not get
going? I believe I am going to meet a fair co-chair before class. I think I will
bike up, maybe go a long way around, but not do an actual big ride. Yesterday I
rode 15 miles and it indeed took 1 ½ hours (which included a pee break at Town
Hall and another in the woods). Some good hills in there.
This morning
it would be very nice if I have a bit of time to spin. I did half of a skein of
the nice fully blended lichen stuff which I am liking. I’ll do the other ½ ounce,
ply that, then start in on some larger bobbins. And I started knitting the
square that will become the bunny for my friend’s grand-daughter. I really need to knit up some more of those
for sale. And I need to pursue this store that is starting up – the woman wants
commissions, and I think I will give it a try, even though she takes 40%. That is
a lot, but really by the time I pay booth fees plus spend all day or weekend at
the booth, well there goes a lot of anything I make.
The white
baby buns are getting quite large and are pretty much ready to go. I will see
if I can do them over the weekend, that would help make daily care a bit
easier. I put in another Craig’s List ad for the dark boy bunnies, we’ll see if
anything comes of it. The Freecycle listings have been quite successful – both corner
desks, the bureau, the couch, and the tv tray tables have all gone. Oh, plus
the snorkel stuff that I got a call on literally as soon as I pressed send on
that listing. No takers for the disgusting green chair. Maybe I’ll try again. Or
maybe we can put it outside with a FREE sign, as long as it does not stay out
when it rains.
I did
finally start to tackle my work email. The thing that made it bearable was that
I started out with deleting messages. Lots and lots and lots of them. That is
satisfying, except that it barely seems to have made a dent in the total
number! Well I will keep at it. I will try to do some more this morning. Along with
everything else…. I did manage to get to UMass on Tues to pay G’s tuition bill
so that is good.
Ok, time to
meditate, then get going with everything else.
