Tuesday Morning Coffee

Monday is ceramic day, again.  I had errands to run so I got here extra early.  I got them all done by 2:30 and headed to the ceramic studio.  I had several things that I wanted to get done there also.  It went much slower at the studio.  I had thrown two plates - the lesson of last week - and set them to dry. They needed lots of trimming. One week later and they were still quite wet and only the small one was trim-able. Since I am slower than molasses trimming, it took me a while. Although I set the other plate out to dry, it never did get dry enough to trim.  It could be that it was a very humid, rainy day. In fact, it came a pour down several times during ceramics. At 5:00 when Jesse was on her way to class, it was so dark that she said it looked like night.

The actual class time for ceramics is from 6 - 9. Since I got there at 2:30, by 8:30 I was worn out. I had thrown four pots and trimmed one. I also glazed a couple and did a pinch pot with the class.  I called it a night at 8:30, but there was still clean-up time.  You would think that I would have slept like a baby, but that was not the case. My shoulder was killing me. Hmm, too many pots!  Then about 4 AM, when I was sleeping like a baby. Catnis, the grandkat, attacked. I punched her with a pillow.

This morning, I am at Frank and Joe's coffee shop to do my blogging. Every other Tuesday the maid comes to clean Jesse's house. Usually, I like to spend time using her Wi-Fi, but not today. I don't really want to be there when she arrives and have to explain in my best Spanglish who I am. So I got up and got going. I was going to go straight home, but I needed more coffee and I had not posted to my blog. Like doing exercise, I was going to put it off. Sigh. But I thought it might be fun to go to Frank and Joe's and sit around drinking coffee and observing life :)
