.....The weekend went by rather quickly. I can't believe that it is time to get ready to go back to work. I need weekends to be four days long and not two. :-)

.....Saturday was all about cleaning. After seeing TBT on the road to Dragon's Mist, I drug myself over to Mom's house. She has been so overwhelmed by keeping up on the apartment that I volunteered to help see if we could give her some breathing space. I told her I'd be at her place at 8:30AM sharp to get busy. To her credit she was there waiting.

.....Her place was a mess, so I got started right away. We captured the Laundry facilities right away and filled up all the washers. Then I cleared up the living room. By the time I picked up all the soda cans I was poking at her verbally about cleaning up and not letting the trash pile up. She didn't snap back at me and I think I finally realized that she was a little embarrassed at how messy she let the place get. She finally left me to the living room and worked on the dishes in the kitchen.

.....After two and a half hours or so I was done as far as I was going to go. But things were looking a lot better and Mom promised me she would continue to work on the place over the weekend. Although the impression she left me was that she just wanted me gone as I was starting to interfere with her Nascar Race of the day. :-) I was too tired to argue by this time and left.

.....After lunch it was time for our place. It wasn't too bad actually, mainly just maintenance. Cleaned up the kitchen and cat boxes and made sure laundry was done as much as possible.

.....Enjoyed some decadence and read for a while after that. :-)

.....When TBT made it home for the day we immediately went off for dinner at Gwen's. It was a large gathering of people who had shown up to work on tokens for Last Chance. Dinner was hamburgers and hot dogs and was tasty.

.....A new arrival to the Barony was in attendance, Jane D. She's a military traveler who recently spent a lot of time in Drachenwald. She had some great pictures of England. I especially liked the pictures of Glastonbury Abbey that the standing stones of Avebury. It made me REALLY want to go and visit England again. It is such a neat place. So full of ancient history.

.....Today was a lot slower. I was fighting off a headache most of the day. It was not BAD, but I did not feel good. Natious, headachey, and cold hands. Some classic signs of a migraine. But I seemed to miss the worst of it. I hit it hard with tylenol, caffeine and a hot shower. I'm hopeful that I will wake up in the morning without anything left of it.

.....A rather busy week. On Monday I have to run up to Lobelia after work and pick up my bag of dance stuff. I'm spelling Abbot Sion on Tuesday during Fight Practice with a couple of dances. We'll see how well they go over. I definitely want to get a Karabushka in. Also have to remember to grab Gold Key from the heated storage unit to bring with me to the Deputy Gold Key to sort.

.....Wednesday and Thursday will be about getting ready for Last Chance. I'm still on the fence about bringing Lobelia. I would like to be on site for the event, but Lobelia requires some work to get ready, bring to site, and set up for the weekend. I'm actually leaning towards just day-tripping. But we'll see. It looks like we'll be at the Feast on Saturday and it would be nice to be able to just crawl into Lobelia and go to sleep after the feast.

.....I need to get organized before I lose sight of things.
