(no subject)

Off to work. Not sure what we're doing today, besides putting away supplies that were delivered early in the week. Already helpd Jo set up for her hort sci lab....hundreds of tomato plants in the greenhouse in autumn, joy.

By's schedule is somewhat sketchy still. He didn't have to go in and tend the dog this morning, so he can go in a bit later, in time for the rental co to deliver stuff. He's not sure how late he'll be tonight--the wedding rehearsal is at 6pm, they claim they'll only be an hour, but he's expecting them to be there until 7:30 or 8:00, at least. And tomorrow's still fuzzy, too. He may have to go in early and tend the dog, he may have to go in and babysit the wedding, depends on what time Robyn gets back tomorrow (if she does), and how tired she is when she gets there.

By brought home a new movie along with the groceries last night, so we ate dinner and watched Ocean's Twelve (not nearly as good as the first, and Julia Roberts got way too much screen time) and did crafty things. By worked on sanding one of the walking sticks in progress by his chair, I did string (big surprise). Got T's second sock ripped down below the incorrect increases (5" of cabled knitting, gone in 10 minutes, very sad), got the proper start of increases marked on the first sock (the one that fits right), and about an inch reknit on that second sock.

I'm telling myself sternly to finish projects before starting anything else, even though I've got a couple of patterns and a lovely new bookbinding book all calling my name. *sigh*

Little bit of randomness

I'd half expected to have drama on my desk when I got here this morning. taran_stone posted a lovely translation of a Latin prayer (here), which I hand copied and pinned to the board over my desk. Given the general craziness of the housekeeper assigned to this building, I'd rather expected to come in and find the piece shredded, and a nasty note on top of the pile. And yes, she was in last night--the floor's not been swept (for days, I think), but my trash can was empty and in the wrong place again.

Anyway...while I'm relieved that she didn't mess with it, I'm also a bit disappointed. At the risk of sounding petty, we're not likely to be rid of her any time soon through normal channels, and another complaint about messing with people's desks, coupled with religious harassment, would have done it.

Ah well. Maybe later. I have other things I want to pin up on the wall. Some aren't that subtle.


Hmmmm...just had a thought. It's entirely possible the housekeeper didn't notice it because she can't read well enough to understand what it says. I copied it in cursive, after all. (That's not as mean a thing to say as it sounds. I've seen her handwriting and her spelling, both of which look more appropriate for a 5-yr-old, than a 50+ yr woman.)
