Slept most of early part of Sunday...got up and started doing things around 2:30PM.  Obviously no practice today, could have used it.  Tested out my skills in dying cloth.  Somewheres in this process a cat fell part way in the tub because the cover was only loosely on; I have not found out which cat but it was a dark one, was using black dye. Dye ( Read more... )

Someone found a nice park for a game site this evening, but had to leave early.  As a consequence, got home earlier than usual and spent more than three hours playing Pharaoh until about 4, which was fine as Ken Gets up with Catie on Sundays.  Other than that, much quiet.  Brain chemistry down, almost didn't go to the game which is unlike me ( Read more... )

Creating a House for the SCA, beginning today.  From what I have read needs no official endorsement but emailed Herald Julia at East Kingdom to confirm.  Checked the letter of intent for my device but decision has not come back yet, but no worries it is due in September.  Passed the Kingdom level already.

If all goes well, House Nemain will be ( Read more... )

Tonight's rant will be preempted by some pictures of us at Pennsic...

Forgot about things while doing yoga with a couple of my boys today.  The cobra took me out a bit, can't yelp around members.  Damn.

Sometimes I wonder where I would have been if I had taken my first life choice as a marine biologist aboard a ship somewhere.  Who I would and wouldn't have known, would I have been so insecure and worried about ( Read more... )

Dr. P. says no exercise until the swelling goes down and note the indeterminate amount of time this could take.  What the hell am I going to do until then?

I can't not exercise forever.  Seems like that's how long it's going to take to get rid of this thing.  I am thinking poorly of the red tape that got me  this way.  Remind me of it come next war ( Read more... )

Between vacation and work again .  Catie with me all day, which is a bonus.  I forgot how bossy she is, now where could she have gotten that from?

Saw the doctor.

What it is called is a "hematoma" caused by internal bleeding, more than likely when I got hit in the side of my female groin protector.  I can't imagine being a guy and having taken that ( Read more... )

Weird.  The world seems so much less exciting today ( Read more... )

The Pennsic Independent read today that if one was to find a particular bardic circle, at a particular point in time that one would wake the next day the first day of next year's Pennsic.  I can't do that, not without those others I consider my family around me.  Next year will be a time to try and gather my extended family from across the country ( Read more... )

"If you feel up to it, meet me at that tent over there tomorrow at 9AM," said Sterling the afternoon prior.  Which means meet him at Bhakail campsite at his tent, and this after a compliment difficult to ignore.

The alarm clock rang at 7:30.  I'd not remembered setting it the evening before but got up anyway and came to sit in my usual chair by ( Read more... )
