Fighter Practice for Me!
Since mel is still getting over being sick I was able to get to fighter practice. I had to force myself since I came home to get motivated since Benton fell asleep on me and we both crashed for about 30mins. Now, I was tired and sore from fighting over the weekend, I was tired from being up late to see Jonathan Coulton and They Might Be Giants on Monday night. BTW, faboo concert and it was awesome to do sushi with folks, hit the concert with the SCA nerds and run into coirkers and knitters and then go to The Hub for awesome ice cream. I got TMBG's newest albums on VINYL!!! and I have a medley of JoCo songs in my head right now. So much fun. Anyhoo...so I was tired but I knew that I needed to go. Got the boy fed and me fed and got him a bath before mel got home and we switched off parenting. My only dunderhead mistake was putting my fighting pants on wrong side out. Eh, its a night practice...no one is gonna know. Headed out dropped off my armor with the Hrafn folks and then headed out to speak with the dog folks about lights. Our contract is only for 7-9pm. They give us a 30 min grace period before they go out. The dog folks pack up at 9pm, we need longer lights and I will be calling them to see if the city will let us get an additional hour added to our contract. Had a good visit with the dog folks and one of the dogs looked just like my childhood dog Snickers. So cute.
Got back to our side of the field and got into armor, handled a piece of business from the weekend and then was out fighting. I took it a bit slow to start to get everything warmed up but got in line for the rotation. Then I did normal pickups. I fought hard and I think I did pretty well even with the bruises I'm now sporting. Got things to work on but honestly, there will always be something to improve on. Got done and packed up just before the lights went out. I was very happy that Rudiger announced a 30 mins and 15 mins warning so folks had an idea to start getting things packed up.
Got home and chatted with mel before showers. Read for a bit too. I finished book #2 of the year over the weekend (Kitty goes to Washington) and started in on #3 Patricia Brigg's Steal the Dragon and I'm really enjoying it. You can tell her writing really improved after Masques (her first novel).
I slept really good last night and am surprisingly chipper this am even with all of the bruises and how weary my body is.
