Well that didn't go as expected.

ianukI've been working my ass off figuratively and mentally. Work has been a brain drain and I've not be easy on my body with workouts, running, eating well and nailing things like my macros and step counts. So, Friday I expected to pick up MEl and the boy and head to Kingman for Crown and came home to mel passed out on the couch with a really, really bad cold. huh. Well, I got the boy, rearranged travel plans and left with Ari instead. It was a girls trip which was what we needed but didn't know. Took the car which likes to go fast and after a really slow dinner in casa grande we got to Kingman at 11pm. I beat the goggle estimate for when we would arrive. *Achievement Unlocked* LOL.
We were zonked and in bed by 1145pm. Got up the next day and after a good hotel breakfast with Sir Neo and his folks we got to site and got things arranged to setup. It was then we discovered that the canvas that Jackie had picked up from Ed in October but we didn't set up at 2 events in a row due to the first being rained out and the second we didn't have people at, was in fact Ed's tent. But Ari figured it out and we had a tent that cosplayed as a shade for the day. It worked. Our new banners all looked awesome and I took video and pictures.
It was weird not fighting in the tourney or really being fought for...I haven't' fought in crown in a while though I think that may change coming up. It was also a strange crown with not a lot of the usual subjects entered and some of the old school dukes were having a really good day. In the end Franbald beat Brian in the finals and we have a new prince and princess. I handlede scribe stuff but by the end of the day I was tired, sunburned and windburned and was done with people. I had not eaten enough on Friday or on Saturday so by the time we sat down at dinner at the Rickety Cricket I was hangry. I ate my dinner when it arrived and then ordered a set of wings. I hate wings..I loved these...the sauce had crack. The beer was really tasty too. Dom, Ari and I then ventured to the vigil for Boy-type Ari where I had a Russian Carriage Bomb (shot of vodka, drop a shot of kahulua into a half bottle of Old Rasputin and chug) and then we talked to Ari after he finished snaking his plumbing (wow...what an awesome guy...I'd have called a plumber) and then we took a bog burial photo. I will try to find the pictures of that but me and Ari snuggled up on Dom with us holding a sword and Amiee Douglas had it setup to take pictures from above...its neat. Got into the car and I was stuffy from the mesquite fire.
The wind dried me out and we were in bed by 10pm...easily after showers to wash off the mesquite stink. Ugh. I'm so allergic and that explains things later. Sunday we got up, packed, breakfasted and out to site for Ari's Laureling and then we packed up and left. Got on the road and was home by 5pm. Mel was still sick but better. Benton had watched way too much TV all weekend but sometimes you need that. I got groceries and then got home and started to feel sniffly. I got my netipot out for my shower and was in bed a bit late but did not sleep well. Woke up stuffy and a bit bleary and my chest which had been tightening was really bad. I kept taking my rescue inhaler and that didn't seem to make a dent. Go through about half a day of work and went home and went to bed for a 3 hour nap. Just taking my bra off took pressure off my chest and laying down helped as well.
I decided that working from home on Tuesday was good and got Benton to school stuff and then worked....chest and breath still labored but I was a bit better. Called the doc and got an appointment and was the 4th person she saw that day for an allergy flair. We changed up my controller med from Advair to Symbicort. My advair dosage had been upped 2 weeks ago and that was not helping much and its lactose based which with me going dairy free was not a good plan. Got symbicort and that seems to make things much better this AM. yay!
But I've now lost productivity since I was supposed to be painting on a scroll last night but I will recover and be working on things throughout the weekend as well as making sausage for Estrella Breakfasts and hopefully making myself some more pants (flannel Rus) and a dress (warm wool to put over things). But we shall see.
Just need to keep lists and keep on moving.
