Collegium weekend and other stuff
Jun. 4th, 2007 06:44 amWork progressed on Friday even with a tremendous headache I was able to get somewhere on my model and figured out a few things. Which is good. I should be able to get it all set today and get the parts built by friday when I need them. Too close for comfort on that though.
Got home and I did fall into a complete and utter exhausted nap. I woke up about an hour after I got home but felt somewhat better. The headached moved to a small dull annoyance versus a loud roar. I then proceeded to clean up the house and mel made hamburger. So much cheaper to do it ourselves than to buy it. Got things ready for dinner and then I packed the truck. The travel thrones fit perfectly across the back of the car. Seriously, perfect. Got everything into the back of the car yeah! I grilled up dinner and made a nice couscous salad with tomatoes and parsley and that went over very well. Made another batch to take to the collegium. Gaming was odd. That was more critical hits than I have ever seen in a game since l5r. Mel ended up killing jessie's character who we resurrected but still 3 crits is the suck from a troll...ow. Got everyone out of the house by 1030pm and I was in bed. I of course didn't sleep well but I did manage to remember a few things I had forgotten to pack.
Got up and got moving and we were out the door by 6am. Got gas, got detoured off the interstate just as we got on it and made our way up to the far reaches of sundragon. Took a longer way to get there but it worked out. Was able to get to site, drop off my lunch item and have plenty of time to set up for my first class, hit the priv and get water. I only had 2 folks to start with in my class(beads) and then we filled to 8 people. Luckily my handout works pretty well so its easy to get caught back up. Got done with that and then went to Sibilla's class, the corp media policy class, lunch, tapestry weaving with M. Meadbh, the first hour of the blacksmithing class and then to teach my final class. I only had 4 people in the documentation class which made me very,very sad. I worked hard to get the handout even better but I guess I'll just plug it online and send it out. Got all packed up and we all headed out to the cornish pasty. Man, I luv that food. Had a good time and tagged the table out with Zippy and his modern friends. Got directions for everyone for tucson to get home even though I-10 was closed and it all worked well. Got home about 10pm and I think I was asleep well before 1030.
Sunday dawned and I didn't want to get out of bed. I snuggled and did not go on my bike ride. Got breakfast and read for a while. Mel got going to kung fu and I dressed and made my way to costco. Spent a bit but came back with some good deals including a new 2 liter hydration pack for myself and Rocky Horror Picture Show on DVD. They had Sierra Nevada for $21 for a 24 pack and I picked up a 12 pack of mexican coke. OMG do I luv that stuff. Got home and got to show that everything fit in the the back of the FIT. Yeah! Cleaned up the kitchen, did dishes, packed up all of the meat purchases in the food saver and then I baked our half baked pasties from the night before for lunch. Got things going and I cleaned up the house, relaxed with the hubby, took a shower, took a nap and got sucked into the travel channel with Samantha Brown. I got all my clean laundry sorted for putting away, got all of the laundry done, made dinner, worked on mel's last pair of pants and then finally sat down and worked on my cooking entry documentation. It was a nice pace for the day..not stressful. Mel lazed about after kung fu and played video games all night.
Today I'm gonna leave work about an hour early so I can get my bike ride in, get things handled at the house and then go to mel's testing at 6pm. I'm gonna be late for scribble but not by more than an hour I think.
