So, Sat phx was a good time. Had nummy burrito food with some of the college crewe that unfortunately now is revolting in my tummy...oh, well. Came back to the mughi den and watch The Mind of Mencia, the guy is a hoot. But I curled up on the couch and fell sound a sleep for a while. We ended up getting to the event with court already going. While I was putting my veil on I missed Bertana getting her Serviente...oops. But I did get good picks of Godfrey getting his Grant and of all of the kids about 12th night. The rest of the event was kinda lame. I was ready to leave by 7..but Ivan was in teaching mode so we stayed until almost 9. Got back to the mughi den and Jen and I chatted for a few hours while the boys talked gaming...it was good.

We didn't want to get up on Sunday morning and could have stayed in bed another hour since things so didn't start on time but hey it was okay. I got to fight about half of the day until during a bridge battle was was trying to push forward, kept having to defend against a guy from my side (he had red tape), I was getting oblique charged from tristan (which I handled just fine) and then on the second oblique when I fully engaged Tristan (little tristan) I took a step back as he hit me to balance and someone decided to die right behind me and I went ass over tea kettle and landed on my head. I crumpled under my shield and people started calling "chiurgeon" when I said "I dunno no if I'm okay..I need my helmet off" Mel was right there holding my hand. Everyone was talking, the chiurgeon (an ER Doc) was cool and let me get my helmet off..but it took me a while. Tristan was saying "but I didn't hit you!", which is true..he just charged me..I fell on my self. I was repeating myself too much so they were concerned until I finally opened my eyes after I got my helm off. I'm a smart girl...I don't open my eyes until I can brush stuff of my face..I don't need grass in my eyes. But yeah, head was hurting bad. I passed the "you don't have a concussion test" and they helped me up after a while. When I was sitting, Arthur came up and said "How many fingers" and it took me a bit to focus to say "4". He actually got concerned and I said "no, I could see them but I had to switch focus kinda slow...yeah, I'm done for the day." Mel was saying that it was the first time he has ever felt the need to kill anyone on the field and he really likes Tristan, it was just an instanstaneous gut reaction that he had to fight down. I think ed was in the same boat but I repeat "It wasn't Tristan's fault" and after the verbal replay of events where I was arguing with Giles about his helmet tape, taking the first charge and still arguing its safe to say I should blame the guy who fell behind me...but we dont' know who that was.

So, I got to sit at chiurgeon point for a while. Peal out of armour, sit with a kitten and an ice pack and then finally fell into zen sleep in the brimmstone lounge. All good. I was still hurting pretty bad but did drive us to rock bottom since mel needed to wind down after fighting. I stayed awake the entire ride home but passed out after my shower. We had a really good dinner with Ari and Markov and Linnet. Damn is that kid cute and smart.

Today is kinda a big day at work. I have my ATA polo shirt on and we have an inspection/tour for a congress person. My head doesn't hurt so much as its really, really heavy and its hard to switch my focus from up close to far away too quickly ( I wore my glasses today). I'm not concussed just damn sore. I think my pony tails protected the back of my head pretty good cause they also hurt. Thanks to everyone who took care of me, made sure I was still breathing etc. Much apprecieated. I just would like to be not having to hold my head up today and will be calling glenn when I get back from my morning meetings to get an appointment this afternoon.
