two days, one progress report, such as it is

[kareina]

Time has been zipping along, doing is normal trick of disappearing much faster than I think it ought. On Saturday I was busy all day, but only managed 3.5 hours of uni work. And I can't blame e-mail, because sca.org e-mail addresses were down that day, so I had no new messages needing replies. Went to a "Heritage Bush Dance" on Saturday evening, and had much fun dancing.

Today I managed even less uni work--not quite an hour all up :-(

However, I went for a ride on my trike for the first time in ages, and we've done some packing, and found a number of items we need to be rid of before moving, and I've advertised the stuff for sale to the geology department and local SCA e-mail lists, and have posted a variety of miscellaneous stuff to FreeCycle, many of which have found homes already.

In the evening I was still restless and not working, so I went down the hill to baronsnorri's new home and got to meet his sweet new kitten, Fleur, and the amazingly friendly young rooster he's gotten (there are advantages to renting a house on 5 acres of land from sensible landlords who approve of animals). He got the rooster because his hens keep going "clucky" and trying to sit on their eggs (and then they quit laying any new ones), and he thinks that if they are that determined to sit the eggs, he may as well arrange things so that there will be a purpose to the exercise. However, this rooster is still too young for that, but he will grow. In the mean time he is friendly enough that he lept out of the pen and into baronsnorri's arms, and then settled happily down and quit making the sad lonely noises (the hens aren't yet being nice to him).

After that I came home, replied to all of the e-mails asking after the things I'd advertised on FreeCycle, and then did a tiny bit more uni work. Alas, tomorrow isn't looking great for uni work either, as we will be heading to clovis_t's parent's house to clear out the room into which we will be moving at the end of the week, and then from there I'll go pick up my new Hammer Dulicemer from the talented artist who made it. I am *really* excited about that part of my plans! I can't wait to see what he's done with it, and will post photos tomorrow evening...

I listed my trike on ebay a few months ago and sold it for around 450. It was the T12. You might have some luck there. I am also trying to divest myself of stuff in anticipation of my move to the pacific northwest. So much stuff!

The trike I'm not willing to part with, until I can afford a better one! I haven't been using it much since I got a computer good enough to do my uni work from home, but once I find a post-doc or teaching position some place and move I'll have to actually go in every day, so, unless I happen to find a home across the street from where I work, will need the trike to commute. Fortunately, it folds quite small, so should be easy to ship along with everything else I am keeping (SCA stuff, books, kitchen toys).

Glad you think Snorri's landlords are sensible! Lovely kitten, lovely rooster - would gladly have stolen both!

Good luck with the move and the rest of your lives!

Warm regards,
