Friday
Went off to Elise's to catch up for the first time in weeks, as I was avoiding giving her the nasty ick. Wanted to make it to the fall play, but was pretty sure by the end of work that it'd be a bad idea (and it was, because I got home at 7 and was asleep by 8.)
Saturday
Get up. Putter. Go off to fetch J, and drive up to the monthly Ravelry spinning gathering that Marie hosts (for the first time in months for me, because they've kept falling on weekends I had other places I needed to be.) Had a very nice time, got J started spinning (for lo, we are good at enabling.) and got a bunch of stuff spun myself.
(Current project is carding and spinning the fleece that Marie and I went in on last May - I've got a small ball of it plyed now, and am very happy with the texture. I'd been going for something much bulkier than my usual, and Marie got the friend who makes spindles to do me a heavyweight one for the purpose, which is working very nicely.)
Got a very random phone call from my mother in the middle of this (my mother *never* calls me unless it's a birthday or urgent) saying that she'd gotten a piece published in the paper my brother writes for, which amused me greatly.
Afterwards, took J off to go Thanksgiving shopping: she wants to host and cook (yay), but is retired and money is tight, so I made "Y'know, I can fix that" noises. We went to Trader Joe's, and have a very nice turkey, plus makings for all sorts of other things.
Sunday
More puttering in the morning, then went off from just before 1 to about 5:30, as it turns out, to be in the building while our newspaper editor worked on this edition. (She is frustrated because three of the pages were not totally done yet, but we're pretty close to ready.) I did not get as much other work done as I might have, as she snagged me to proofread and check on things for her for most of the last couple of hours.
Today
Got to aim at work by 7, so she can finish up, and then have two presentations to classes, some materials to get together for a class the Monday after Thanksgiving, and a big project of catching up on where we are with Title funds spent by the end of the day.
I *didn't* manage bread baking yesterday (because I was pretty sure I wouldn't be upright long enough after I got home to do a loaf: really should have set it out to do the first rise before I left to go to work) so need to pick some up on the way home, and am then having discussion with L2 this evening. (Which I'm looking forward to.)
