Easter
Overall pretty tired. Been keeping very long hours.
Thought I was getting Friday off. Came into PDX on Thursday to pick up the kiddo from school and the phone rang. Work meeting in the morning with client. Took the kid to lunch and then went to teach class.
It's good to have beginning classes and advanced classes at Academia Duellatoria. Lerned on THursday how out of practice I am with my rapier. Between injuries and the influx of new students bringing us to lots of slow beginner classes I havn't done a lot of free fencing in the last 6 months. Work to do.
Friday morning early drove into Portland to meet with client. Took advantage of the trip to go meet with my Italian translator in the afternoon. We are making headway on that historical fencing text! Went over 15 pages - took 2 hours. Meeting again on Monday to go over another 20 pages. Puts us at 105 pages of 180 total.
Saturday took kiddo to easter egg hunt at the Milwaukie Elks Lodge and then to lunch. Then headed over to work on the school space. Also did a little sewing while there. It's coming along nicely - the space is looking good.
Saturday night worked till 3 in the morning - got drawings off to client. Got to bed at 3:30am
Got up Sunday at 9am and checked e-mail. Revisions from client. Drove to PDX to open the studio for fencing Study group. Set up the office desk - mostly. Need a couple of screws. Went to set up the computer to do drafting work...... power cord leads pulled loose from adapter. Luckily the RadioShack is next door and had just what I needed to fix it. Repair is better than the original..... But then discovered I left my Portable Hard Drive with the drawings on it in Corvallis. So much for my plans of making Swing Dance in PDX in the evening and crashing in the office so I could be in town early Monday....
Back in Corvallis to work on drawings... Up early to drive to PDX to meet with translator and then go teach my afternoon class at Academia Duellatoria......
And exhausted from the long hours.......
