Hey everyone. I know it has been a while, and honestly, may be awhile again. BUT, things are getting better ( Read more... )

For many reasons, I am looking forward to this Pennsic more so than other years. As you all know, spring was rough. I (always) see Pennsic as an opportunity to get away, to put the trials of real life aside for a moment, and live in a fantasy surrounded by friends.

Well. Sooner or later we have to decide on Roses. Are we going? Right now I am feeling rather meh about going to an event. The weather has been awful and if it rains I am definitely NOT going.

It is official. I go in for back surgery next Friday. I expect to be in until Sunday, but with my anesthesia issues, possibly longer. We will see. With any luck, my mom will come out next week to help. Right now I am resigned and a bit nervous ( Read more... )

The appt with the neurologist was thorough but resulted in more tests, more drugs, and more waiting. Hopefully my appt next week will move us forward a bit.

To keep myself busy I have been doing lots of homework, working on the hood, and making necklaces for the Queen's box.

So, I got my judging sheets back today from A&S champions, pretty much what I had expected, with one exception. My research paper was give a 48 and 49 out of 50 on two sheets, both with names and comments. The third sheet I was given a 30 out of 50 with no name or comments. Now, lets be clear. My paper has previously been submitted as graduate ( Read more... )
