since the tummy sick of a few weeks ago I've still not felt well. Things just aren't right and well at Southern I was off all event.
Southern was in general good. We had tons of folks on setup day and that was great. The new site (I guess only for this year) was nice which was suprising. Though we need to have court way earlier if we do it there since its all outdoors and no light/sound.
I managed to burn the fuck out of my fingers on my left hand cooking dinner on Friday. I knew the knurl on the pot handle was hot but I grabbed it anyway. I managed to cook the rest of dinner with my left hand holding an icecube in a wash cloth. It looks healed now but typing...ow. and i don't have really good feeling on the fingers either. I had blisters that were large and in charge.
I did not fight cause I felt weird on Saturday and well, the hand wouldn't have been able to hold a sword. Sunday I woke up and was awful. I'd spent every hour since 1 am up for abit and hitting the privy and I was tired, hurting and sick. I managed to get the inside of teh tent packed and Benton helping with things and us loaded into the car while the rain was starting and the rest of CAMP was coming down. Much thanks to my household for tearing things down well and quickly. We were all home by 3pm. I was home by 1230 or so. Stopped and Benton got his very first Happy Meal cause I new I had no food at the house and it was right at the turn on to the interstate. He enjoyed it and snarfed all of it. Got home and got him into a much needed bath and I took a shower while he was soaking. THen I bundled up on the couch and we watch Avengers Assemble Cartoon until Mel came home. I then slept in my bed for a few hours. Mel was awesome adn put things away (not everything but food etc). I was happy to snuggle up and be warm. I went to bed early and slept much better than I had but woke up with stomach cramping again. I stayed in bed until 7am and then got Ben up and ready for school. I got back and crawled under the blankets on the couch before getting back into bed a few hours later.
I read and slept my Monday away and here we are. Not great, not special but I'm here.
Work front, I had a mini interview for a new job. So we shall see where that goes. My plan is to have things settled by the time Estrella rolls around.
