On Friday, I started the day by finishing up my short class in the Next County to the North. Possibly because of sleep deprivation, I ended up giving the students a rant about the value of writing and of doing your best work and stuff like that.
I believe those things, but I think they probably rolled their eyes about it in the hall after class.
Following that, #1 daughter and I had a working lunch in the school coffee shop (the food is horrible) and then went on to a meeting with some new prospective clients. I like them a lot and I hope we get the job. They live and work in a geodesic dome in the Next County to the East, making alternative energy devices. We met in the library coffee shop.
I got home from the meeting just in time to leave for a singing gig in the Next County to the South. Traveling there is always fairly traumatic for me, because there are some fairly swoopy roads between here and there, but I slept on the way down and woke up just as we crossed the river.
It's hard for me to explain how I feel around large bodies of water. It's as though all the molecules of water in my body respond to a call from the molecules in the river, lake, or ocean. Even swimming pools have a bit of that effect for me. I probably shouldn't be living in a land-locked place.
We sang for the older people's group at a church there, ate weird things at their potluck, and then drove back home.
It was a fun day.
Yesterday I worked, but also spent some time sitting outside in the lovely springtime. I did some housework, and some slight gardening. My husband saw what pitiful stuff I was doing with the plants and took over. He can't stand to see things done badly. He has to jump in and do it better himself.
In the evening, #1 son and I watched Journey to the Center of the Earth and I finished up the sleeves of the Diagonals cardigan. Or at least provisionally finished them. I have to see whether they actually fit the sweater before I can say they're finished. However, I may finish up the cardigan entirely today. That would be nice.

Glad you can get to the dirt! Ours still is very cold and white covered just a couple of days ago. Miss your regular posting, but your schedule sounds more comfortably workable for you. Peace and patient perseverance, dear heart.
I'm ready to plant things, but it really isn't time yet.
As for my schedule, I am trying to have a more normal human schedule but haven't quite gotten there yet. It's good to have goals, though.
