Assorted Observations
Oct. 14th, 2006 09:20 amThursday evening, got a phone message that my friend Tracy B passed the first part of her EMT boards. She now has to study like the dickens for the second part, which is next month, I think.
Thursday night the wind blew with a fierce will and hammered the walls and windows of the house and its surrounds with maple seeds. Occasionally a blast would be so strong and direct that it would come in around the AC in one of the bedroom windows and gently move the tassle on the Chinese coin charm hanging there. In the morning, our tree still retained most of its leaves, but![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
fitzw had to clear a pile of seeds off the top of the AC before removing it from the window, and I had to use the wipers on the car for the same.
Friday, work went well and after I came home we went for some more building supplies - baseboard materials, paint, stain, a couple of boards to begin putting up shelving. The doorframes are up and the window frames are mostly up (the remainder are cut, stained, and first coat of polyurethane applied). We had planned on going to bardic in the evening, but unfortunatelyfitzw had a headache that day, which got progressively worse as the day wore on. I did my best to help out with it, but decidedly a night of driving and storytelling was not going to improve it, so we stayed home. I got a bit more spinning done on the purple/blue Romney, and he did a bit of reading.
This morning he's doing better, so we're working on clearing things out of the dining/living room - partly because Concentus practices will be starting up again tomorrow evening, and partly because we want to move the dining room rug (very utilitarian) into the fiber studio, to go under the large floor loom. It should help some with sound absorption during weaving. Once the stage is set in the studio, we're off to the farm to deliver some box tops (school fundraiser), return a couple of trays, give an early birthday gift, and disassemble and bring back the loom. Once it's reassembled, we're off tolady_jade_01 and her family's housewarming to say hey. Sun is out, sky is blue, and I get to spend all day with my honey. Yay!
