Hey, I'm All Stiff This Morning...

...and not in a really good way. :-)

.....Last night was Fight Practice again. For some reason my second Fight Practice of the year got to me a lot more than the first. Probably because I didn't take the time I needed to for stretching and actually getting the body awake before it started moving in ways no desk bound office geek does on a daily basis. My back was really stiff this morning and my legs were rather sore. I didn't think that I had done all that much last night. Better work on actually working out or Estrella could really hurt. :-)

.....Oliver and Sir John gave me a lot of really good advice on fighting at Estrella War. I was surprized at my own mindset coming into the evening. I've only been really exposed to one-on-one combat. Thinking in the middle of a line of fighters is a completely different mindset. Having to pay attention not only to who is directly in front of you, but who is to their sides, who is behind them, what is flying through the air... Not to mention paying attention to what is happening to your own side. I don't think that I'm going to survive long during the first few battles, but I'll do my best.

.....I came to the realization that I really do not like flying to Estrella. I did it once a handful of years ago and apparently I'd forgotten why I haven't done it since. You are at the mercy of a lot of things that you can not control, like other people's schedules. Plus, you are REALLY limited to how much and what stuff you can bring with you. I'm still not sure how I'm going to get my armor to and from Estrella. Next year, I DRIVE...

.....The Beloved Tamm is really wishing that she could go to Estrella with us this year. This bodes well for possibly getting her to come along next year. I can't wait. :-) It might make it even more of a draw if we talk the L.A. fabric district as an interim stop. :-)

.....Tonight's schedule is a little slower, thankfully. I have to finalize 'The Crier' Doomsday report for signature (Master Pyotr accepted my initial input, which was the easiest it has ever been). Have to connect with THL Angharad at some point over the next week to get her signature. May have to .pdf everything back and forth. Master Pyotr and I are supposed to connect at Ursulmas this Saturday at the Pelican's meeting to exchange paper.

.....The Pelican meeting should be interesting on its own. Their Majesties intend on attending. That always adds an extra layer of excitement to any meeting, no matter how dull it might ordinarily be. And it is Dame Brighid's first as well. Hope that she brings some good munchies. :-)

.....Also have to send out the updated KAS copy. We have people dedicated to almost all the major jobs associated with it. Looks like it is going to be a lot of fun.

.....Have Fun Everyone, Aaron / Arontius.
