Slept well

Yesterday I spent the day in  the gallery in Selkirk.  There were two consecutive classes in watercolour during the time I was there.  Sort of interesting, as the first one was a beginner class and the second a much more advanced class.  Taught by a very well respected instructor, who  has won international awards.  But this meant that there was no where for e  to sit except for one armless chair in the middle of the actual gallery section.  I had taken a lot of hand sewing, and knew immediately that wouldn't happen.  But that wasn't a problem, nor was the sitting part.  The lady I was working under was a very nervous-type.  She had me doing photo copying, and was moving pieces in the show around, and fussing over all sorts of issues.  I was on the run most of the day, except for a short period between classes, when we ate lunch, with the instructor, a very nice retired fellow, whom I've know for over 10 years.  But, was I ever tired when I left.  It had rained most of the day, but had stopped by then, a big relief driving home on the highway.

I had promised myself a coffee on the way home, and when I stopped at Starbucks, called David and told him I was going to sit there and drink my coffee and veg out for a bit, even if it was almost supper time.  He didn't care.  He watched three back-to-back CFL games --almost 9 hours, yesterday.

Preparations continue here as well.  I have arranged to have Poulin's out to spray for ants on Wednesday, in hopes that our family meal next Sunday, can happen outside.  I'm also hoping that if we kill the little buggers now, before winter, there won't be so many of them come spring. Probably a fantasy.  But I'm also concerned about the weather.  It's been cold around here for the last week, with a lot of wind.  In Winnipeg when the seasons change they really do change over night.  We are now wearing our fall/winter clothing--other than parkas.  This is the season when you see so many men in shorts wearing heavy jackets.  Last winter there was a big billboard with a picture of a fellow dressed like that in one of the ads.  Of course I also saw a fellow dressed like that, outside, last January.  Even then he didn't have a parka.

But, 'tis now Sunday, and I haven't done any housework in three days--didn't even cook supper last night.  Best I start soon.
