It's My Life

Saturday

Well, the day did not start off badly, just late. I had the alarm set at 5. Turned it off. Got up at 7:45 and am waiting for my coffee now. I'm going to have one of those ever-lasting posts today, just keep adding to this one. On my plate today is sewing, I need to finish my armor up so I can play in it tomorrow, I am pulling out the pell for practice on the driveway maybe, I want to finish a bastard sword. Laundry. Clean bathroom. Plot another party. umm... coffee is done.

Block me, and I will go around you. Build a wall, and I will build a door. Lock the door and I will break a window. And if I don’t have have a leader to inspire me, I will lead. If I don’t have a team that will support me, I will recruit a team from beyond the organizational boundaries - every policy has a loophole, every system has a hidden reward.

That’s how I stay optimistic.

Seems like all I have time for anymore is recaps of my life. I think partly because I'm busy with so many projects. Like dresses for Gulf Wars, and armor, and other crafts. Like talking to people and being friendly. Like finding more time with Van. Work. Fighting. Reading. Van and I are watching an episode of Bones from last year.

 

In both relationships and life, Jonya, trust begets trust. Generosity begets generosity. Love begets love. Be the spark, especially when it's dark. Hubba, hubba -     The Universe

Same for luxe and lack, Jonya; sadness and joy; anger and kindness; Hershey's and kisses. Especially when it's dark.

update of the weekend

So....where to start?  Friday night was relaxing with tv and Van. I don't remember any more details than that. And Saturday was a bit of workout and some housework. Laundry. Bill paying. Some armoring and work. Well, lots of armoring but I blogged about that.

Sunday we were on the road by 9 and drove to Madison for practice. It was a good time. I fought Sir Roisin, Erin, Karl, Sir Kaydian, Yustov, maybe Erin again, and I'm thinking someone else or maybe not. Kaydian did some drills with me and gave me homework. (I like homework.) then Roisin reminded me of previously-given homework, so I need to stay later next time. Then we went to Giles' house, where Van had some sword work done. Giles is also a rapier fighter. Van wants to go back about once a month and I'm good with that. Next time we will try to bring more people!

Today, now, that started off badly. My window, my windshield, cracked! What is with that??

Winter Hats

They fighted...

I did not. I could have, probably, if I was willing to ruin some work slacks by slapping leg armor over them. I did not expect there to be an opportunity to fight tonight. i came prepared to spin wool and talk about why you spun all the time (so you don't have to be nekkid!). I let them touch wool and linen and hemp fiber. i let them talk about weaving paper and pot holder loops. I spun and let them watch the spin go up the fiber. and we talked about how exciting the fighting was. The kids really liked the fighting. They liked the leather helmets and the book making and the food and the spinning, but the fighting, both light and heavy, really caught their interest.

Self-promotion...I does it.

I have to say, honestly, I was shy about coming into this online radio show so didn't promote it at all here. But since I don't think I sucked too much and I am very grateful that Uthyr has created this radio show for us to share our stories. So if you are interested:
