Catching Up With Life...

.....Although the more I think about that statement, the more I realize that it just ain't possible. :-)

.....I thought that getting June Faire off my plate would yield me tons more extra time. Not so. I'm still scrambling to try and keep up with myself. Wish I had more of the Beloved Tamm's determination. These days it doesn't seem to take a whole lot for me to start feeling overwhelmed. But I am slowly getting things done, so I remind myself to take things one step at a time.

.....After helping the Beloved Tamm with a few things around the house last weekend I did manage to make it down to Richard's party in Olympia. It was a good turn out and I did enjoy myself. Good people were there. It was pleasant and comfortable. I had to leave fairly early, before the Sir Ran Wrap stage of the evening. :-) Damn! I forgot the party colored saran wrap anyway. :-)

.....Got a few things done on Sunday, but not nearly as much as I would have liked. Picked up the house, did laundry, pulled a few things out of the garage for Cedric and Brighid. I basically gave them my Panther (with borrowing rights :-)). I felt rather sad seeing it go into their van, another object with a lot of memories attached to it. I remember the first time Ingasbo appeared at Mudieval Faire, although I can't remember exactly what year that was. I do remember that 'She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named' was still the reigning terror at the time, so I think that places it like in '98 or there abouts. But none the less, I do remember the OMG rain that fell and the mud battles fought that year. Ack! :-)

.....Was able to finally wrap up June Faire checks on Sunday for the most part. I think that we are on the verge of calling June Faire good for this year. Yeah!

.....Last night was all about getting the Library / Dining Room ready for The Renaissance Tailor's Grand Re-Opening. :-) The huge A** display case was cleared out by Brighid and Jenae. We boxed up about twenty boxes of books (only two book cases worth, there are still another handful of bookcases left to go). I'm actually glad that B & J handled the display. It would have taken me forever to go through everything and box it up. Talk about memories. :-)

.....Ugh! The display case itself was a terror. I had forgotten up until that moment that it took four of us to get it into the house and into position. But Cedric and I managed, with a minimum of fuss to get it out the door and into the basement. Anyone want a 6'x3'x3' glass and wood enclosed display case like you see in jewelry stores? I'll give to you free. :-)

.....Library table and chairs went out the door as well. There is now this huge open space between the Living and Dining rooms, already for the Beloved Tamm's tables and stuff. Must remember to advertise the table and display case on the Baronial list and see if anyone wants either. The table is in good condition, the chairs not so. They'll probably just go to the landfill.

.....Tonight is Fight Practice and June Faire clean up. Tomorrow is shopping for Mom. Sometime in the next few days must get Crier finances done for the 2nd Quarter and prep for the August issue. Also have a handful of circlet orders to get done. Sigh! That means excavation of the garage, or at least part of it, so I can get to the workbench.

.....I wish I could go to An Tir / West with everyone. Looks like fun. But July Coronation will be fun as well. :-)

.....Everyone take care and enjoy. :-)

.....Aaron / Arontius.
