Sunshine

[altivo]

First sunny day in a while, and pleasantly cool. Since I had to work evening shift, I took Tess out this morning. Made her wear a fly-mask, which she dislikes, because the flies have been really tormenting her badly the last few times she was out. The fly-mask has another peculiar effect, though. When I go back to fetch her, she always comes running to me. While I'd love to see her do that just for joy at seeing me, the way the dogs will, she does this because she wants the fly-mask removed and knows I will do it. I put her back in her pen, with most of her unfinished hay from early morning. She was so full of grass she didn't want the hay, though I'm sure she ate it later.

Went to work, met with the net admin from the head library of our new little consortium. He came for a tour of our facility and to see Linux in action, which I can definitely show. Then we talked geek stuff for almost two hours. Still managed to settle a few things, I think. No work tomorrow because I'm going to the dentist in the morning and I don't work Thursday afternoons.

Gary's going to be gone from tomorrow morning through Saturday, which means I get extra farm chores, but I'm hoping to go to Michigan for a couple of days soon so that will even things out.
