The First Saturday of January.

.....It was a freakishly long week squeezed into three days. I greatly enjoyed having two whole weeks off from work, and it was a nice gift to have a day off in honour of President Ford, but the pile of stuff awaiting my return on Wednesday was monumental. The fun rolled right into today when I was awake at 5AM directing traffic at work from my desk in the computer room dressed in my underwear (although I understandably did not mention my attire to anyone on the phone at work :-)).
)
.....By 8AM the crisis was rolling forward at work, so I had some breakfast and started work on The Crier. I made great progress. All content has been pulled and initially formatted. The cover and center pages are in place. The listings have all been updated. Tomorrow I format and drop this month's event copy and place the epistles and I'll be 90% complete. Will only be waiting on the updated Kingdom Calendar at that point. Then .pdf all the pages and send them to Idaho and I'll be done!

.....Around noon I went to the Baronial storage units and pulled material for Twelfth Night (signs and feast gear). Didn't take long at all. Then ran home and got a good start on the three circlet orders I have in the queue at the moment. Completed them all through the rough polish stage. Need only to final polish and then shape them and I'll have them ready for packaging and mailing.

.....Felt the need to get out at that point and took Heather (the van) down to get her oil changed. Then had what's left of my hair trimmed back a bit (even had them trim the mustache a bit). I don't think that I've ever felt this exposed before. :-)

.....Took a trip up to see Brighid and Cedric and had dinner. Brighid made a kale and portabello mushroom dish that was very good. I love portabello mushrooms. I'll have to grab some for a dinner or two this week.

.....We watched the Seahawks game on T.V. (a nail biter 'til the end), then I took off. I was feeling a bit lonely (missing Laurellen a lot), so I stopped at Starbucks and nursed a Sugar Free Cinnamon Dulce Latter (with Soy and an extra shot of espresso). It was very good. Wish I had just gone home though. I played the answering machine and the beloved Laurellen had called looking for me. I almost called back, but thought that calling at 10:30 was pushing it a bit. Sigh! Seattle is too freakin' far away. But I'm sure that Laurellen could use a break from me always taking up her space. :-) But now, on top of having a body full of caffeine, I'm going to be thinking of Laurellen and will not be able to sleep at all. Will have to put the Tele on to some religious channel to help me fall asleep. :-)

Well, if you get lonely Sunday night, you can always come over to dinner at our place. I'll be home, and Rich will be glued to the football games. I plan on going to the archery potluck (it is the first Sunday, isn't it?), but will be home after that. I've got to cook something for dinner, before I forget how.

I'll not get to see anyone next weekend - can't make it to 12th Night, but will be thinking of everyone.

"The listings have all been updated."

....ooo, oooo....
this is lame of me to do here, but I keep forgetting to e-mail you, so here it goes. Octa's kingdom champ listing has a type-0..it reads W 176th st when it should read W 17th st. I noticed because we got a wedding invite delivered to our house, that read W176th. I couldn't figure out why they used that address, and then saw the crier and voila! Someone using the crier for things you might not expect! Uber uber useful little thing that you work so very very hard on!
THANK YOU!!!!!

It will be updated. :-)

I use the crier to contact people for non-SCA stuff all the time. How else can I get out all those pot holder chain letters?
