Let's see, only a little time to do prep for the committee work for this morning, so.
Yesterday was leisurely: i sat and poked a bit on the internet, poked a bit at my dye project for white cotton threads and yarns, and poked a bit at my library committee responsibility.
The bad news of the day was Christine finding a dead bird and the subsequent observation of feathers. We'd had such a gusty, windy afternoon and Greycie Loo is so "full of boing," that despite me being so close she'd apparently fulfilled her hunting desires for the first time. I feel unhappy and a little guilty, and i suspect Christine was wrestling with her own feelings on the topic. I noted this morning that the cardboard box "toy" on the deck may have served as a hunting blind, so hopefully we can return to the previous status quo and not have repeat incidents.
I made "scones" taking the bisquick biscuit recipe and adding in powdered sugar and folding in bits of smart balance spread during the kneading. They took a good bit longer to bake and are decadent.
We watched Chaplan (1992) before bed. The history gripped me, the aging makeup annoyed me, and seeing David Duchovny in a bit part a year before he started The X-Files entertained. (I'll note that IMDB seems to not note Duchovny's or Anderson's role in The X-Files in the standard manner in the Actor section of the Filmography. It's odd. Compare to Mitch Pileggi's or Robert Patrick's annotation.)
I've made it through an unusually busy spring, filled with many conferences, retreats,
unconferences. I said "Yes" to many things and while i came through to this point, i do feel it was too much. Work is getting a little challenging and i need to attend to it; home is comfortable in the way a worn, ripped and stained pair of jeans are comfortable. This next quarter: July, August, and September must be about home and work, i think. And exercise, probably.
