7:30 am
Lovely Tuesday
except it isn’t as I have lab today. This semester it will be lovely Thursday
instead. But at least there is no lecture so I do not have to go in so early. Yesterday
I biked and did manage to get there in plenty of time to change and wash up a
bit. So that was good. Left here just past 7 and arrived just past 8. Today, as
long as the rain holds off, I will bike again, leave here around 9. I have a
meeting with the prof at 11:30. Other than lab I must work really hard to
rewrite the lab for next week describing how to do the stuff using the Vernier
equipment instead of the biopac. I finally got it all to work yesterday.
Lab went
ok. Funny thing was that at 3:45 I was feeling very rushed to get them all to
finish so they could go at 3:50 when lab ends. Ha ha. That is now, what? Five years
since they changed it? maybe not that long but still. Lab now goes 1:15-4:05
not 1-3:45. So we had plenty of time and I could have been more relaxed. Well,
it will be better today.
I am,
just like last year, feeling rather overworked. I’ve been staying really late
many days. It is discouraging when everyone else is gone and I am still there. And
that will continue for a while until I get all these labs sorted out. One thing
that will be easier is that they will not be doing the independent experiments,
but I am very fuzzy on what they will be doing. So I need more direction from
Sarah on that.
Funny how
last night, after such a long and exhausting day, I still managed to: make
blueberry jam, knead the bread and put it in the fridge in the bread pan to
rise, and make crackers. I knew before I left work that G was going to be at
home. She didn’t say way, just that she would be there. Then I biked to the
farm to pick up the share, and from there biked home. At least this time when I
ran into my neighbor again I actually asked her if she could carry the tomatoes
and watermelon. She was fine with it, I guess it just never entered her mind
last week… So I got home, and K had made lovely fish for supper. I was famished
and it was delicious. Really. So it was not until after that that I could go up
and see what G was up to. I brought her ice cream. We talked for a while, then I
went back down to make the jam, rather crucial as the berries were starting to
go bad. I think it came out fine. I did not actually can it, I just put it in
the jars and I’ll keep it in the fridge. And I did the bread and made crackers.
And it was still not too late when I managed to drop into bed.
I will
feed buns, take a shower and pretty much go. Yesterday I ate 2 eggs for
breakfast before my ride. I may do the same today. I need to be sure I am
eating enough, I get so extraordinarily famished. I ought to hold the 2 new buns this morning. They
are kind of skittish. They are Satins that a High School student could not keep
– too busy with horses. So now I have them. They are lovely reds, and it will be
nice to see how satins are. Oh, I heard from someone interested in the black
boy, but I need to take some photos of him, since the ones I posted are pretty
old now and he does have more of a coat.
