After the election, the rest of this week was all about self-care just to get through to the weekend. It’s been so upsetting seeing what is happening to this country. It’s one thing to have racist events happen when the leadership opposes them, it’s another thing to have a leader who supports (or at least doesn’t oppose) the white supremacist and ( Read more... )

I spent the day Saturday reading a novel (Come Hell or Highball). It felt a little bit like an American themed ripoff of the Her Royal Spyness mysteries, but I enjoy them, so it was a good way to spend a lazy Saturday. When I was checking Amazon for the link, it looks like book two in the series is out. Might have to track that one down too ( Read more... )

The good news, we had nine people on Saturday and ten people on Sunday.

The bad news, it poured rain about two hours before close on Sunday ( Read more... )

What was I thinking when I scheduled a blood draw at 7:15 the Monday after a weekend at faire ( Read more... )

Well, it was cold and wet, but not particularly miserable today. Despite teasing us with a sooper seekrit meeting at 4:00 (which we all knew about) management decided to stay open for the late night. It never really poured, but it rained enough to make cooking a challenge. But we managed to get things hot (good thing, as we were hosting the Pope ( Read more... )

Saturday at faire flew by. I got a quick visit with guy_todd, and Marrus was our guest for lunch. I only had the briefest of chats with her, as it started to sprinkle and I had to dash off to get things under cover.

Friday night I packed the car, because I know myself. If I want to be on time, I need to have the damn thing packed before I go to bed because packing the car always seems to take me forever. I’d been planning to get to site by 8:30 Saturday morning, but then Stephen posted to the Guild page that he wanted us there at 8:00. *sighs* So now I was ( Read more... )

Posted Monday 10/3Stephen and Alena were visiting Kristina in Scotland over setup weekend, so as the closest Guild member to their house, the task of driving the truck and trailer down to site for setup fell to me. I didn’t really want to do it, but it made the most sense. But by Saturday I knew I was sick, and I’ll admit, I had a brief meltdown ( Read more... )

I keep making plans, and then keep not doing what I planned because of the heat.

Saturday we had rain, and it was lovely, it only got up to 77, but I still only puttered around inside in the A/C. I finally broke down and subscribed to the New York Times like I’ve been meaning to do. I've been hitting their "ten free articles" limit every month ( Read more... )

My plan for Saturday was to pretty much be a completely slacker. I’ve got just a ton of articles “saved” on Facebook to read later. And well, it’s later. So I spent some time online reading articles. I did manage to squeeze in just the tiniest bit of tidying up. I emptied and filled the dishwasher, washed a few dishes, put away some clean ( Read more... )
