Definitely sick. Named this cold after the snuffly kid who’s been sitting in front of me really snottily for over a week. Stole the Kleenex box multiple times. It’s officially my one cold per school year. It’s never good timing, is it? I mean, no one wants a cold. So a field trip day could be worse…it could be a day when I have to talk the whole day in the classroom. So today, I will be watching a musical with a bunch of 7th graders. I think I can do that. Except I wonder when I will get to pee. I always wonder that. People who have jobs where they can pee whenever they need to…sigh.
We hiked again after school yesterday…I got home early enough and needed the exercise.
So apparently did the dogs…
Random pretty shit you see by the side of the road…
Makes up for any trash we saw before that, eh? The rains mean the weeds are plentiful and sometimes beautiful.
Similar view after…post-dinner grading…with furry beasts.
“I’m trying to keep my eyes open but I just can’t.” So I graded another assignment. Unfortunately, that goes pretty late some nights. Needs to be done though. Then I had to find, iron, dehair, and pack up a quilt to be delivered today after school for this show…
I like the space this annual exhibit is in…
It’s local and there’s interesting artists I don’t usually see in there. Looking forward to the opening.
Then it was 11 PM. I was smart and cleaned the entryway floor while someone else cooked dinner, so it was dry and ready to go. Because no way am I mopping at 11 PM. OK. Well. I have. But not last night.
It’s a challenge to start this that late, especially since I was definitely feeling this cold last night. But I did…laid it out.
And then trimmed it straight and mostly even…
She’s 76″ wide and a little over 66″ high. Big one. And now she’s ready for the binding. Hopefully tonight, I’ll get that attached so I can hand sew for a few days (and holes in my fingers). But first a field trip and driving to San Ysidro to drop off a quilt and the gym is on my list, but IDK if that’s gonna be in the cards. I hope so. I want to read and exercise. I want to feel WELL ENOUGH to do those things. Right now it’s a little questionable.
