Monday, and I'm At Work.

.....Hmmmm, where else would I be though? :-) I'm looking at the mountain of stuff to do in front of me and having a difficult time finding the motivation to get started. I'm trying to convince myself that the sooner I get started the sooner I'll be finished. But I've told that lie to myself so many times that I can't seem to get my subconscious to believe it any longer. :-)

.....Saturday was a great outing at Blackberry Hollow Farm and its wonderful hostess, Angharad. Rhys played and played and played and played with the kids, it seemed like for six to eight solid hours. He was absolutely dead to the world by the time we made it home. But then again, so was I. I'm not sure what it was but I think I picked up some sort of bug on Friday or Saturday because I just did not feel well Saturday night and Sunday. Finally started feeling better last night, but it definitely meant a wasted day of not getting much done. Blech!

.....Which reminds me of CeCe, she definitely was not feeling well on Saturday. Andras and Liesl eventually took her on to the hospital. Has anyone heard anything? Hope CeCe is O.K.

.....Brighid tried herding the An Tir / West chickens several times into meaningful conversation on Saturday, but it just wasn't happening. There were just too many distractions to concentrate on just one thing. :-) We did manage to speak on the topic for about five minutes. But that was it. Hope that she got to grab a few other ears during the day. But it did sound like she managed to snag Constance into the action, which was a good catch.

.....I'm starting to think that the AT/W herd of chickens is going to take a lot of effort on her part to maintain over the next year. So I think that the Sargeantry herd of chickens is probably a non-starter for this year. I think that I'll gather my thoughts on the subject and just start organizing them in Live Journal. Given a year or two I might put together something interesting on the subject. I've got a lot of ideas bouncing around on it. And if Her Excellency of the current Coronet isn't really interested (which is totally fine, it's a subject that requires a lot of effort and motivation), I'll save it for her successor and make a determined pitch. More to follow.

.....Have a tour scheduled for later today of a potential new June Faire site. I'm not all that hopeful as I've gone down the path on this location before and it didn't end all that well last time. But the site is a good looking place with lots of potential. I'm hoping that maybe some of the group dynamics that sunk it last time have gone away and we'll have a better chance this time. The location is really nice, just outside of Silverdale. Talk about centrally located! But it does have other potential problems of its own, namely with access, parking and wetlands issues. We'll see. I'll not be holding my breath.

.....Which reminds me, I've got to ping the Fairgrounds for their bid. They never got back to me with a bottom line price on using the grounds for a potential June Faire site.

.....It's Talon's birthday, right? Today? Yesterday? Whatever day it is / was, Happy Birthday, Talon! Same goes to Anne-Marie! And anyone else I may have overlooked. :-)

.....Sigh! Better get started on the pile o' stuff....

.....Aaron / Arontius.
