Sunday Wrap Up.

.....Sunday wasn't quite as productive a day for me as Saturday was, or nearly as productive a day as TBT made her day. But I was able to get a few things done.

.....After our regular Sunday Starbucks run, we started work in the garage again. I cleared out the workbench area. It is now ready for business! The raw circlets have their own shelf. The workbench is cleared and ready for bench grinder attachment. The tall workbench is cleared. Camping equipment is all consolidated.

.....Even my pseudo store signs are both proudly handing from the rafters. Stevyn and Ralph have both gifted me with signs proclaiming my establishment as 'The Chuckling Cock'. Let that be a lesson to you. Don't laugh at anything directed towards you that could be embarrassing later in certain circles. It will haunt you! :-) Although the rooster that Master Ralg has mounted on the sign he made is pretty cool (Huh! Huh! I said 'mounted' :-)).

.....Several boxes of personal stuff were moved into TBT's studio. I tried going through them a little, but I gave up fairly quickly. I started picking up stuff and 'remembering'. Not melancholy thoughts, just memories of past times in which I would revel for a long amount of time. I knew that if I kept going down that road that I wouldn't get anything done.

.....Did find some more books. There were a few tense moments with TBT in trying to decide how to add them to the bookcases in her studio. We finally came to a compromise that relagated my rather extensive heraldry collection to the office upstairs. I'm going to have to reorganize that room rather thoroughly as I can see several other boxes of 'stuff' that I'm going to want to find homes. Sigh! Save for another day.

.....I chose that time to run to the Airport landfill. I stopped at the recycle center and was able to off-load about a third of the van there. Mainly the cardboard. But I also off-loaded all the Gold Key garb we sorted out of the Baronial Collection about a month ago. I put them in the Goodwill Collection boxes. I can just imagine the looks on the faces of the sorters as they go through that batch of clothing. :-) Look for BAD Gold Key garb on Goodwill clothes racks near you shortly! :-)

.....Took Mom out shopping after that. She is getting around. I can see her starting to revery to old ways, so I took the opportunity to push back a lot harger than I used to. She made promises to me that I intend to call her on to accomplish. Will be tiring, but worth it.

.....Came back home and started laundry. Tried to study for my Oral Boards this week. Had a tough time with that one. I hate late Sundays, with the thought of going back to work the next day. Always makes me restless anyways. This Sunday is worse than normal with the added nervousness of Oral Boards coming up. Hardly any real studying was actually done. But I did my best.

.....I have to follow up on An Tir / West phone calls tomorrow. Namely to Lyle and the half dozen questions I've asked of him concerning support we need on site. I'm starting to get a little nervous. But the last time I spoke with him he told me that he was gearing up for 'goat season' so would be hard to contact for a while. I'll start calling more frequently tomorrow.

.....Memorial service for James on Thursday. Master Ralg sent me an e-mail letting me know that Seamaus' sister passed away this weekend. Way too many good people passing away to the Summer Lands in too short a time frame. Need this to stop for at least a while.

.....Wish me luck on my Oral Boards. Happy Birthday, J.R.!!!!
