So tired....
Jun. 7th, 2016 09:34 amOver the convention I walked almost 40k steps in 4 days. Had work yesterday and walked about 5.4k steps but by the end of the day my edema in my legs was bad. Part of it was I was sitting a lot yesterday and when I was sitting I was tucking my feet into the rungs of chairs etc. I think it was just over work etc and my varicose veins are laughing at me. My feet were so swollen I thought the skin would burst when I went to bed. oof. I took some pain killers, some benedryl and biofreezed my feet and calves. I probably should have put on compression stockings today but its been 110°F. I'm not thinking that is my best bet. I may try to sleep in them tonight to help though.
Got home from work, where my brain had a really really hard time engaging while I was at work and at home it was the same. I changed out of my skirt and cute top into capris and a tshirt. Learned during the day that I need to make slips for when I wear my circle skirts without my crinoline. It kept sticking weird. All of the slips I've tried on are not flowy enough to be comfy with the skirts. Again, will probably by some fabric and patterns this weekend for underpinnings.
Anyhoo, got dinner started (shrimp and grits) and Mel got home with the boy very late. He was very happy I was making dinner and I managed to get the front room cleaned up enough for scribble before everyone arrived. Course most of us were running late. We attempted to not vegetate in front of the tv. Got the scroll texts written up for the weekend. Looked at what we needed to do for the next month. Sam traced 4 scroll blanks and Sioux and I painted. I got most of two small scrolls done. Just need some detail work and some white work. I have now aobut 6 scrolls that need calligraphy in the case so I need to crank those out in the next few weeks.
I also was finally able to look at the docs in Hald to find the naalbinding resource I needed for my A&S project. I started a sample hat out of fisherman's wool and will get that done this weekend to get my pattern settled and then make one out of my handspun for the competition. Yay!
