ianukWell, I have to say being 5 weeks from my due date at the war was awesome and not so awesome. I had lots of folks checking on me, lots of help with anything I needed, lots of squires being overly helpful compared to their normal helpfulness (this is good, they all are usually awesome but were extra specially so), the EMT's checked in with Ivan on the field to see how I was doing, I got rides when I was tired and escorts where ever I went. The not so awesome parts were having issues with my hip. I had it go out and then the muscles seized. After a bad nights sleep and getting it to shift I spent the day not too happy but managed to have Bill put the muscles back in place really nicely. I have to say all of the work I've been doing for the upcoming birth on my breathing really helped with the pain of bodywork. I used a few different techniques and that was good. I was proud of myself. Our household did awesome. Mariah got a commendation from an out of kingdom baron for her fighting of their champion, Thomas went a long way in the Outlands prize and the cancer tourney, my classes went really, really well. I had so many "lightbulb" moments for people that is was very happy for me. I even taught in the midst of the sandstorm and my An Tir students were awesome.
I braved out the weather in the bar with my students while the boys in camp got things handled. We didn't loose anything but took 3 tents down for precautions. Got back to camp for lunch and didn't teach my second class to the one student who is from Atenveldt and I can talk to later. We all camped out in Kolo's tent while Joany made me sit and eat and made everyone else lunch. Bless her. We made some decisions and I realized that my best plan was to go home. Rain was coming and knowing me I would not have been of any help in anything or tried to do things. Witnessed the knightings and took some pictures and then got changed, packed up the car with everything mel didn't need and headed home. I had to stop about halfway since I needed a snack, potty break and was falling asleep while driving. The day was more stressful than I thought. Got home, unloaded and showered. The girls were very happy to have me home but had yakked up cat food all over the house. Yuck. I went out to dinner with Uther, Candace, Harmony and Ceevee. It was nice but I was so tired. I came home, made some phone calls and then was in bed by 10. I slept okay but I was up and to the bathroom a lot. I'm glad that I was not camping. I wouldn't have made it to the bathroom in time. I woke up to text messages twice and then headed off to breakfast. I thought I was feeling better but most of today I've been icky and sleeping. I did manage to get my laundry all done. The girls have been snuggly and well...I think all in all I'm glad to be home. I missed court but I guess Mel won the Toys category.
So everyone will be home soon. I'm not gonna be much help when mel gets here..I hope he is okay with that. I'm feeling pretty icky.
But it was good. I'm so glad that my household is made of win and awesome. I just wish I had been of more help...but man am I feeling delicate.
I also wish that I had more time with Bertana...I got about 10 mins total the entire event. Lame.
