It seems my mornings at faire are a HORRIBLE STRUGGLE. My emotional states range from ok to an emotional breakdown. It makes me feel like I shouldn't have come back. Satuday morning was a wake up call. I started crying out of the blue and just couldn't stop, not matter what I tried I couldn't stop and morning meeting had just started. Was still crying when I headed towards the wall for morning gate where I began to panic. I can't open the show crying...that doesn't make for a good morning for anyone. So I took out my cell phone, found Tom Petty's Won't Back Down and blared it in my face till that was the only thing in my head and the tears stopped. I was able to go out and open the show but the morning was shot, all my energy went into stopping the tears and all I wanted to do was go home. Helped open up the circle around Scots Court and get the t-shirt and jean crowd in where they got some BEAUTIFUL pictures, even I was rather impressed with the specticle of the court lined up under the trees that were lit up by the sun :) By the afternoon I finally got the energy to pull out the weirdness card and played the hiding behind a stick and you can't see me game. Funny how many people are happy to play that game :)
Sunday was better but ended up sitting with patrons alot of the day and having conversations. Fidget tends to inject herself into families so I ended up with several moms and dads and a couple of grandmas. Got a boy knighted who was rather nervous about it so had to stay near by :) I was given an AWESOME pair of chopsticks by Kitt!!! They will be used everytime I have sushi and as a secondary set for out at faire for when I forget my fork.
