Other than apologizing every 30 or 40 minutes for sitting around and being a lazy bum, I'm doing OK. I'm definitely in healing mode, though - I have to sit and rest after even just a short while walking around, and I'm not sleeping well from a combo of not enough exercise and too much pain. I'm not thinking much about new projects the way I ( Read more... )

Home again, home again, jiggety-jig. War was good - not great, not awful, just good. I walked very little, which was very hard on me and my tendency to walk a lot, but the foot was Unhappy.

I'm glad everyone is back safe from Pennsic.

I think that splagxna said she'd do some Nate-watching, but I'm also looking for people who want to trade work for food. I could always use a dishwasher, and I'll feed you for as many meals as you wash dishes for. I have a full kitchen setup, including a sink, so it's not like you'd have to wait at the baronial kitchen. And I'm also looking for some ( Read more... )

On Sunday morning, we were driving to meet Nate's grandma for bagels, via route that takes us right past lady_richende's house, around 8:15 am, and we noticed a pickup truck FILLED with pennsic gear in their driveway. I said, "Hey! Let's knock on the door!"
