A Tuesday Update.

.....Well, I'm starting to shake off the June Faire dust and get myself slowly back up to speed with my 'to-do' list. Which actually makes me feel a little better as I was starting to feel overwhelmed a little just before and just after June Faire.

.....I don't know how much credence to give this, but I finally managed to get my Vitamin D and Iron back into a rhythem. I was taking neither for several months and I'm starting to wonder if that was part of the reason I was feeling see sore and run down for so long. I need to remember to watch my vitamin intake closer. I tend to take too much of a cavalier attitude and the Doctor keeps kicking me in the butt to remind me that Gastric Bypass patients routinely run into problems from lack of vitamin retention.

.....Finally kick started the Baronial Customary process again. Entirely my fault. I was so fixated on other things that I let this slide. But we are already getting a good discussion going again, which is a large part of why we go through this convoluted review process. If I just handed a printed copy of the Customary out to a group of people and said 'review it', I might get a handful of comments, but there would be nothing comprehensive like what we get with a group discussing it. There is always the danger of course that the conversation will dissolve into a 'what if' session, but I don't see that happening readily with this group.

.....Finally finished my last set of Western Regional Pelican notes and have put out a call for a 'Pre-July Coronation Meeting'. It was not as good a set of notes as I would have liked. I had a migraine at our last meeting and I was not coherent enough at the time to ask someone else to take notes. The important things were covered though, so I'll console myself with that and push people for notes and updates.

.....Starting to love, love, love my iPod Touch. I have music downloaded to it. I have my current short term and long term lists recorded in it. I still have to build the contact list and TBT is going to put together a schedule at Google we can both access. I'm getting excited about that.

.....A couple of circlet orders have started trickling into the computer. Maybe this is an indication of an up turn. I hope so. Still need to get the new designs finalized.

.....Was looking at a Morris Dance Practice in Seattle. Keep itching to go. I probably couldn't go to every practice, but I'd love to go to at least a monthly weekend practice. Morris dancing looks so cool. I've been wanting to get back into dance for a while. But a.) haven't had a lot of extra time, and b.) haven't wanted to step on Friar Sion. Maybe I'll pull him aside and talk to him about it.

.....Antonia was twisting my arm at June Faire for a recorder practice as well. TBT plays recorder as well. I wonder if I could get an occasional practice going at home? Hmmm, I'll have to talk to her about it. Just one more thing to fit into an already impossible schedule.

.....Reminder to self: Must post a note advertising for next year's June Faire Board. Must also track down Sherry Bougan and get finalization on a July 8th June Faire Board Public de-brief at the VFW Hall.

.....Lots of stuff still happening. But happily, lots of stuff getting done as well. :-)

.....Aaron / Arontius.
