Life just keeps bumping along.� It is Wednesday and I am beginning to get caught up at the office.� Last week I had a meeting scheduled "Wednesday, 8am - 10am: Discussion of comments submitted regarding Document XXX"� Not too scary sounding, have to go downtown for it which is a bummer (and a really early start to the day for me.� Think 45 min in the car, and then 50 minutes on the Metro.� But really - I prefer that to the 1.5 hrs in the car followed by parking hell downtown)� Anyway ... there were a lot of comments to the document. You know that it is going to be a long one when the combined comments are longer than the document that they discuss, by about 30%.� The meeting went for 4 days.� Yes FOUR DAYS.� As in great, please - can you all come back tomorrow?
But that is all over now and the document is happily filed away.� I thank the gods that I am not on the receiving end of those comments.� Heck I am just dreading reading the revised document if it ever gets updated.
The weekend was blissful though.� I had this long list of things
that I was going to get done and work on and sew and cast and ...�
I slept in.� I went out to a long lunch.� I went to see Chicago
(which I highly recommend).� I napped.� I was slothful.�
(Okay, so I snuck in some random housecleaning bits).� I sat on a
sofa for many hours and mocked superbowl commercials.� I accomplished
little.� The world needs more weekends like that.� :)
So many fascinating diary topics that people write about ... fealty,
why we do the SCA, heros, and whatnot.� I confess - these are not
topics that I am likely to be keying in any time soon.� Sorry folks,
if you want my views on these things you will be stuck with interacting
with me in a more personal fashion.� The written and electronic word
is so ... limiting and those are topics that are so, well interpretive.�
Some things are better discussed over a good bottle of wine. :)
And strangely, I wanted to be the Amiga.� Little known fact is
that when I went to Va Tech all of the Computer Science majors were required
to have a Commodore Amiga.� How bizarre is that?� Make the social
backwards people (programmers) have a socially off computer.� Now
on the other hand how many kids had Sys5, r 4 sitting on their desktop
running in parallel with a truly great video toaster?� Could have
been worse ... in previous years the CS majors had DECs.�� And
people think I am odd NOW?� Hell I am normal these days.
Which OS are You?
Missed seeing folk last weekend at Ice Castles.� I have heard many
great stories and truly feel the loss for missing out on seeing some of
the good awards.� I spent the weekend at home trying to get my body
to hate me somewhat less.� It seems that the ear infection of last
week is really the tip of a fibromyalgia flare up that I seem to be fighting.�
Net of it all is, I may be at less events for the near term.� Sleep
becomes a priority, road trip become a body stressor.� Miss you all.�
Keep me posted on things.� Now that said, yes I will be at Ymir.�
Yes I am still planning on going to Gulf Wars (and shooting many many people).�
So really, I am not falling all the way off the face of the planet - just
part way.
