All the fabric for the nuns’ habits arrived this morning, as did the fabric dye. I got back from uni to find three enormous rolls of material in the hall, which I eventually dragged into the annex. I had spent the whole day packing up my office on campus, as I’m being moved down the hall. I’ll miss my spacious room – the new one is probably the same area, but longer and thinner – but I won’t miss baking all day from the heat of the sun. Took the opportunity to empty out files from the cabinets dating back to when I joined the university – 1994. Wow. It took some discipline not to spend too much time doing it – it was fascinating (for me at least). Sad, sad, sad. Tonight I have to go to a committee meeting for the after-school club. I really don’t need the extra work, but if the parents don’t run the club, no one else will. It’s a stipulation of having a place for your kid – you must be on the committee within two years of joining. Sigh. But at least we’re all in the same boat, and we conduct the meeting in an atmosphere of congenial, communal exasperation.
