except for when HH told me that they usually exit you right away, like NOW. I told her right after huddle, and she asked me if I wanted to finish out the day, to which I replied, “If I leave and don’t say goodbye to JA, she’ll hunt me down and hurt me bad.” So she said to “keep it between us until 6 pm, and then you can go home.” Because she got off at 6 pm, and didn’t want to stay until 8 pm (when I usually got off) to do my exit paperwork. Fine by me. I proceeded to tell my closest friends that it was my last day, but keep it on the down-low, please. So now I have two weeks off, thank you very much. I even have Labor Day off, squee!
We’re up in Syracuse at my sister-in-law’s house staying with her family for a long weekend. I spent the bulk of the day spinning at The Wool Center at The Fair. I brought my own god-knows-what lovely dyed red merino blend, and there was a guy there who was spinning alpaca mixed with angora rabbit, and he gave me some of that. Then, when he was carding some angora rabbit with merino, some angora fell off the carders and I spun with that. I also took a break to visit the sheep (pictures when I get home unless Gary has a card reader with him), and petted some lovely unshorn Cotswolds with very curly locks.
I talked to the gentleman who bred them and he said that they were very nice sheep, and he liked them so much that he bred them to the exclusion of all other breeds. Tomorrow’s supposed to be another scorcher (it was 95˚ today); we’ll go back to The Fair on Sunday.
