Fri: passed on old copies of Mariposa Notes to a friend who is not yet de-cluttering. The free kitchen cupboards are quite nice. Also the frig and stove! And the woman thanked R profusely for taking them! She can now put in a new Kitchen in her newly purchased condo. We can have some semblance of a decent K at the Mill. A definite win-win.

Saturday: Sold 3 pots at the Market -$60 - not bad. I am happy when I make the booth fee! We drove up to the cabin and fed the kits and ourselves and OOPS, I left my cell phone plugged in down at the Market site. So we drove back down - it was not where I left it - and back to the cabin. Nothing for it but to carry on. So we went to the big music event, very late (it started at 3). But did not miss ALL the good music and left about 11 when the sound was cranked up to a painful level.

Sunday: took the carload of pottery to the Mill. Then I drove back to the cabin and loaded the car with those packed boxes, had a visit with a couple trying to determine if the squirrel cage would be suitable for their foster kids, had lunch and went back to Mill. I was feeling not so good so I did not feed the kits. About 5 pm, I got a message from sis-i-law that a woman had phoned her - in PA! - re my cell phone. We drove to her home and R recouped the phone with profuse thanks! She had come out of her office just in time to hear a couple kids on bikes, "Oh look, a phone!" Lucky me!

Cool and rainy but I sat in front of open door because I was afraid paint fumes would make me sick. I felt myself going down hill and went and sat in the car. (R was working trying to get the place in order, as he does every chance.)

At 9:57, I phoned R to see if he could quit. I was no longer able to even read. We got back to the cabin about 11. I was a whimpering mass of protoplasm, told R he would have to feed the kits and I crawled into bed shivering. Alkyd paint. An hour later, I was burning hot and my feet were ice. The poor little kits were frantically hungry and R was afraid to open the door to the cage for fear someone would get lost in the dark. He held the bottle to the fence until everyone seemed to have had enough to calm down. He was well bitten by mosquitoes and rained upon at same time!

Today we fed the kits before we left and came to city where I am feeling back to a low level of energy - instead of none! As soon as the second load of laundry is dry, I will put the other two loads (one wet) in the car and go back to the cabin. So I can recoup enough for the eve feeding.
