A coughing fit on Thursday resulted in nothing getting done. Friday did not bring hot water; maybe Monday.

I did get up enough energy - before lunch! - yesterday to do the next step on the pots and put them on the oven door to start drying. Then packed them carefully and loaded them in the car for the trip to the country. Terrific music last night - more like soft jazz. There were only about 20 people present, largely thanks to BAD road conditions. Everyone listened; no talking! This wonderful guy just kept playing and one of our superb locals joined him and they filled the evening with lovely healing music.

When we got to the mill, I put all the pots in the oven on low and this morning I loaded them in the kiln. With what I made a couple weeks ago, there was almost a full load. It should be done and start cooling before noon. With any luck, I can glaze and fire in the late afternoon and have those ready for the Market tomorrow. I made 5 small heart shaped bowls so really would like them for this pre-Valentine sale.

15F and almost sunny but flurries expected later. R is hoping to get the snow blower working to clear the drive. I need to go to the library.

Darn! I only coughed in the early part of the night and had a good sleep. Woke up thinking I had gotten past that but now the cough is bad again. R, also. Sometimes togetherness is a bit much. Spent about 90 minutes on phone yesterday with a friend on Whidbey - she was coughing too!
