Thank Dog it's Friday
Oct. 7th, 2011 08:47 pmEven though I have a full day of gallery watching ahead of me tomorrow (and then I'll be done until the show closes on the 30th.) This has been a week full of side trips and distractions.
Gary did go to his doctor's office today and saw the nurse practitioner. $100 (cha-ching) and she prescribed an antibiotic. Price of 20 pills: $120 (cha-cha-ching.) Fortunately he did get an AARP discount on the prescription at Walgreen's, so that only cost $22. Finger still swollen and feverish, but he only started the antibiotic this evening.
I finally looked over the result list for the show judging. I had 12 entries (13 actually, but I withheld one from the judge) and received 11 awards. That sounds better than it really is, though, since the competition was thin. In many cases I had the only entries in a category. For instance, I got all three ribbons in cotton spinning, but I was the only one to submit cotton yarns. Total take (the awards are only symbolic, no actual prizes involved) was 4 first place, 4 second, and 3 third.
Got home too late to change water on the flax, will do it in the morning.
Weather is delightful now, probably our last pleasant spell before the winter. Sunny skies, daytime highs around 80F, nighttime lows mid-50s. You folks in EU should watch for the Draconid meteor shower tomorrow evening (peak around 2000-2100 UTC) which may reach a rate as high as 1000 per hour. In spite of our clear skies, the whole thing will be mostly over before dark here. The waxing moon may cause some interference in viewing even if you have an otherwise clear sky, though.
