End of the Day

Tomorrow I have to go to Burlington in the afternoon and pick up the silver necklace Fred got me for an anniversary gift. It has a heart on it and I am getting it engraved with the date  6/11/06 and "7th year."

I finished my still-life-from-my-head and just had to dash out and get it from outside on the balcony where I forgot I had left it after spraying it. I overdid the spray a bit but I must say I really like the effect. It is darker than it was but interesting. Photograph tomorrow.

I have tried four times today to enroll for my two classes on line but to no effect. I get right to the last step and then it tells me words to the effect that these classes cannot be enrolled in right now. I am wondering if the email I got was wrong. I thougt I could not enroll on line until the 26th but then I got email saying it was the 24th! Maybe the email was wrong? Anyway, I sent email to the college help desk asking for information so we shall see!

I gave away 20 or so mostly fiction books to Freecycle a couple of days ago. I now have about 15 mostly non-fiction books and someone supposed to be picking them up tomorrow!

I am just started the last book in the Robin Hobbs trilogy about the Liveships. The second book was not as interesting as the first, but I have noticed this is very often true of trilogies. I felt the same about the Lord of the Rings books, too. I have the Assassin series by Hobbs requested as an interlibrary loan. Hmmm, I wonder it they are going to let me know if they can’t get it. I know I always used to let the patrons know if a requested book was unavailable when *I* was the interlibrary loan person.
