It's My Life

So if i move this here...and then move this other stuff there...

And oh, clean as I'm going...

Heh. Major defrag of parts of my life happening today. Cleaning up the basement room, moving things around, getting the stupid futon out of my own room and down there, if I can and don't kill myself with the hauling. Resetting up the weight equipment once i get all the SCA stuff out of that room. Yeah me! Yes, I'd rather be fighting. Yes, it was just a week ago that i had PMP to go to and I wasted the fighting opportunity. Oh Well. Today is what it is.

packed for an event

So from start to finish, it took me 90 minutes to pack my car for this event. I have one blanket, day clothes, and the stuff from the bathroom to pack up. Oh, and my broom. And some booze. We are watching 'ghost rider' and I'm talking to Rachel about tomorrow's drive over and set up. The event is http://www.falconskeep.org/PMP/index.html if you want to check it out.

It was odd today. I was mostly good but I just really had a huge adrenaline thing going for parts of the afternoon. I tried to work it off this evening with pell work. With a long walk. Now with a bit of booze, it seems to be settling down. And wow. It's not PMS - its source I do not know. Something. I got through the day and got my work done and am now doing laundry. And enjoying this movie.

So how do I harness this, how do I trigger it and target it towards becoming stronger, more directed towards being who I am becoming.

Good day

This has been my second day of being home, doing chores and the like. Sitting here watching Ghost Whisperer before heading out. I got all the laundry folded and started and the like. Crazy how much I've got done these two days. I've been using an idea about motivation that I like. For example, I knew I was going to have a bit of icecream while watching this, but I told myself "hey! fold the laundry and then reward myself with a bit of icecream!' It works. Some small mental game but I like it.

Busy prepping for war

I am sorry I'm not talking in here more talking about my days. I'm spending every spare moment sewing and/or fighting. Or petting cats. Silly things!

Saving my Sanity, plus more Ages

This may be disjointed as I'm running reports and blogging while they do so. And hopefully will not have any more of these fighting posts eaten up. That was maddening!

Friday at Ages: More tents to put up. People to talk to. Sofya started on her signs and Stasi arrived with her second load of food and supplies. I helped Stasi as i could, then pounded tent stakes in. We all had a nice sammichy lunch at some point, before it really got super busy with the tents. My own setup is a bit silly, though. I have this little hand-made geteld that i am going to get taller poles for, so it will be taller in the middle but with out as much floor space. Which will be fine cause it's mostly a storage unit for overflow things AND I can use the smaller poles to be the new uprights for the shadefly. I am not taking it to Lillies, though. Anyway, to make a shadefly on either the big or little geteld, I have to switch them back and forth, those uprights.

Doing Stuff, plus a recap of Ages

I'm home tonight, going to set some things done. It's 6:34 and I have had dinner and started the dishwasher. This house is a mess!

I was just not sure how it was going to be on Thursday at Ages. Only a small crew of us showed up, But we mostly worked right along side each other to get the work done of putting up tents - Lyulf had four to put up. I had two, lol. So it was a pretty constant bit of hard work, swinging a hammer. Finally got too dark. An and I ran off and got food for ourselves, came back and we all gathered around a fire. Isabelle and Lyulf went to bed early but the rest of us stayed up way into the night, singing and sharing stories and just being together. I liked it.

I just realized that is why my right shoulder and neck is still hurting. All those tents. We did the same on Friday, of course, put up tents and held canvas and moved heavy things all day. I didn't rest, really. Always someone needing a hand, of which I have two. Karel was right there too, helping out. I don't know how he does it, goes and goes and takes on heavier jobs than I can ever hope to do.

Time to flip laundry around.

Feeling kinda sick...

I was having tummy troubles anyway, and also having a throbbing headache, so I came home early and took a bit of a nap. Meds still haven't kicked in but I had supper and now am talking to Isaiah about games. So here is a funny gaming vid from Ingus.I've still got the dishes to do, some emails to get out to Kingdom, some more packing, and one more set of bags to dye.

The evening moves on

Yummy dinner of steak and wine and rice...there is lettuce later if I want. Not yet.

It's 6:30 pm. Going to just keep posting the little posts as the night roles on. I'm happy. I have to say that I've had three evenings of fighting this week and it suits me.

Just listening to William Shatner talk about his philosophies that make a lot of sense and I'm now curious about his new book. But going to head out and do important stuff in the garden. I bought Van a morning glory, a flower he has always loved. So just for him, I'm planting this.

10:30 pm. it's raining, and my cat willl not come in. Sitting under the car, looking at me like I'm crazy to want him inside. I'm starting a couple of men's shirts tonight, 16th Century and maybe I could use a simpler pattern but I'm using this one. Well maybe not. Maybe this one...

I am disturbed

Not sure what is going on. Been this way since I got back to work today...it's sorta like not eating soon enough made me massively cranky. Or it's the weather. Just not happy.

My fortune cookie did tell me I was going on a pleasant trip. So that's nice.

My sewing machine is running sweetly.

Van had nice stories when I got home.

Day's recap

I justt realized I did not get the agenda out for the ILS Operations/ Technology Policy Committee. And this was going to be the month I did not mess up. *sigh*

It was a busy day. I answered questions, lots of questions. Got the Service Desk project on a bit further.Went and picked up vitamins, some protein drink, and this really neat shaker cup. Bought a new car charger for my phone, since i have to keep the darn thing until my contract is buy-out-able in December. Went to fighter practice and spent a fast 90 minutes playing...I have a lot of small bruises up and down my right arm and yeah, I think on my right hip. The hip is different. Usually it's the other hip, hehe.

I should update the fighting page but I'm tired. Tomorrow is soon enough.
