Sunday - Basement, Lobelia and Loreena.

.....It was a pretty good day today. I woke up to the Beloved Tamm in the house, ALWAYS a very good thing! I get some reminder of how beautiful she is and I carry that picture throughout the work week. Somehow it helps, especially when the week is really bad.

.....Anyone with spare fingers, please cross them to help in any way possible to ensure that the Seattle Real Estate market stays good. We want the house sold as soon as possible so that we can get her moved over here! :-)

.....More boxes from the Beloved Tamm's house went into the basement. More 'stuff' came out. With the removal of more I started feeling a little more comfortable about how much space is actually available for use down there. I am starting to see in my mind's eye the lay-out with her workshop and the entertainment area. It'll be cool.

.....Ophie came on over today to clean the house upstairs. I was a little embarrassed. I had totally forgotten that she was coming and the kitchen and my room were both a mess. I'm strange, I like having the house at least straightened up before the housekeeper shows up. She doesn't seem to ever be phased, but I get the feeling that some of her clients do not treat her so well. I just love how much work she puts into cleaning up, the place always looks a thousand times better.

.....The afternoon brought Lobelia time. I went and started Spring cleaning inside the RV. Cleaned out the furnace and refrigerator area. Cleaned up the Dry Air stuff. I think that I'll leave them out for a little while longer, at least until the first event in May with Lobelia. I also put up the picture that Their Majesties gave me at Twelfth Night. It was an illuminated picture that proclaimed that Their Majesties Amalric and Caia slept in my RV at Kingdom Bardic last year. I thought it a very cool idea on Their part and love having it hanging up in Lobelia. :-)

.....Had a quick dinner at Cedric and Brighid's house (they made these pulled pork tacos that were mmmmmmm, good). Then I ran home to catch the Loreena McKinnet concert on PBS. I love her music. The concert was FANTASTIC! Even on TV. She's going to be in Bellingham on May 16th. I may have to break down and just go.

.....The concert had everything on the new album. She played a lot of her older stuff as well, including my absolute favorite, 'The Old Ways'. I listen to that over and over again sometimes on the computer when I'm putting together The Crier. Very cool. Easily transports me to a time and place that is very 'elvish' in its make up. Is it just me or is Loreena looking more and more Sylvan the older she gets? :-)

.....Hopefully the purists among you don't hold this preference against me too much. :-)

.....Time for bed. It was a good day, even if I didn't get my 'to-do' list done. Hope it translates into a good week as well. June Faire meeting on Tuesday. Gotta have my agenda scoped out by tomorrow night. Could be something of a busy week.

.....Hope that everyone has a good week! :-)
