Playing Catch Up

[trystinn]

Yesterday was crazy. I had a dozen errands to run for Joshua and so had to run after lunch with unique_thesame and her family. Managed to get his uniform items, Watchmen DVDs and shower curtains at the Navy Exchange, thankfully. Due to some odd space-time continuum issue, my pharmacy didn't have my script refill requests on file so I had to request them again and pick them up next week. This I find out after waiting an hour to talk to someone at the Pharmacy. *sigh* Managed to get to the bank and library before either closed, a miracle in itself.

I expect we'll be seeing eggs in the next few weeks from the Khaki Campbells. The Rouens and Swedes are now larger than the older Campbells, which isn't surprising given that they are heavyweight breeds.

A little duck update:
9 weeks old Swedes
12 weeks old Rouens & Runner
15 weeks old Khaki Campbells

Insomnia kicked in rather hard last night, so much organizing was done. The occult library is now organized by use, which seems quite intuitive in retrospect. I've tried a few variants on that theme: by author name, subject, favorites, etc. We'll see how this works.

I received an email from Mum, reminding me that we need to start going over options for the

Annual Sweater Buy

. Oy. For those not familiar, my mother likes to buy us all sweaters every year and has a particular fondness for choosing overly large, bulky and fairly frumpy sweaters. So what typically happens is I choose one, which she orders along with one of her choosing. Needless to say, it's gotten to the point where I open the box from Woolrich's in rising horror each year. This year, I've chosen a fairly simple zip up sweater. My best bet is mother will go for this one, which concerns me as there's no full length picture.

why doesn't she offer to buy you a shawl or a coat, or something you want to wear to keep warm? What's up with the sweaters? I can't wait to see the eggs! How are the bun buns doing?

She has in the past bought jackets and vests, but for whatever reason it starts out as a sweater purchase. Every year. She's a creature of habit, like myself.

I'm never very patient and less so about the eggs. Not that I'll be able to figure out who laid what, of course. Speaking of which, the guys will be re-organizing the Duckgard on Sunday in preparation for eggs. Shouldn't be too nutty, but I'm thrilled at the prospect.

Bunnies are doing great. Winken is having a ball getting loose in the center aisle, we may need to do something to fix that going forward. But so far, it's been a non-issue given the inner gate. My only concern is that he get trapped without water, but he seems pretty nimble as he jumps through the fencing at the moment.

Noir still needs her nails clipped, which frankly they could likely all use a thorough inspection so Brenda is coming over on Tuesday or Wednesday next week to help. Interested in coming over for another girl's day?

we have a guest until Wednesday next week, but then I'm free again after that. I would love to in general get together again and don't mind helping with the bunnies.

Gotcha. We'll likely do a quick bun grooming on Tuesday and see if Brenda can get together on Thursday or Friday - surely you'll need a day or so to recover?

thursday or Friday would be great :)

I'll let her know!

I'm hoping I can talk her into moving furniture in the den, so we can re-organize and decorate it.

Nobody sends me sweaters anymore. :-( I love sweaters. All sorts of sweaters. :-((

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

What size do you wear? I'll take a look through the Closet of Doom for you.

[wild-heart.livejournal.com]

Large or XL, depending upon the sizing.

She's sent that many to you over the years? She's nothing if not consistent.

In my mother's head is a calendar only she has access to. I can ask, but I've always assumed this July calendar buy has to do with how long it took Sears-Roebuck to deliver something back in the day.

Or maybe it's when last year's winter stock goes on sale.

Definitely that many, she sends multiple boxes every time she redecorates, shops, cleans out closets, etc.

I usualy love her sweaters. ;)

You love being around when I'm parsing down the lot of them!
