ianukFriday I worked the POD and had a good time since it was Poe and I. It wasn't as warm as Easter Sunday where I got a very nasty sunburn on my shin. Its still healing btw. But it was nice and there was a breeze and it was great working with someone I really know. I got a shower when I got home and relaxed in one of my new dresses from Target. Saturday I had to get up early and get SCA dressed for me teaching at 8am. Ugh time zones. Seriously...ugh. but I taught my beads of the North class and then I taught my top 10 books class. It was nice and then I took classes on:
tidal water wheels in period
how to travel upon snow and ice the period way
a beginner's class on rectangular construction (yes I know this info but I wanted to see how someone would teach this and it was cool)
Making beads from birka and Ribe which I've taken at another collegium but that was cool to see if again as she's making beads in real time
Norse clothing and the lack of evidence in grave finds by my former BFF Cecilia
I then made a nice over baked porch chops dinner and relaxed with Benton while mel finished his shift at the POD. He got his second vaccine which didn't really hit him until the next day.
It was a nice day though. I knit and chatted with my SIL on text while we were in some of the same classes and got to chat with Cecilia on text as well catching up on things and chatting about the Pskov grave find. It was a nice night. We all went to bed early-ish and that was good. I got up on Sunday and got coffee on a shake in me and then made sure Mel was taken care of...he was feeling fine but tired. I gave blood, picked up breakfast burritos and then back to teh house. Mel was still tired and I could see he was loosing steam, he napped off and on all afternoon in between video games and baking bread. He slept through time to put the roast on for dinner but it made great leftovers for Monday.
Benton and I made necklaces since all of my bead stuff was out. He looked at all of what I had and chose things he liked and played with the patterns and then he strung it up. The only thing I did was put the clasps on since that is fiddly and I use professional grade crimp stuff. I made 1 period-ish necklace and then 2 modern ones and then laid out 2 more for myself to finish up on monday. Which I did along with working on the scroll commission for about 20 mins. My motor control for that skill set was a bit weak though so I didn't get too far but far enough.
so I've been crafty and that has been super nice. I'm glad to be back in a groove for a while. Been trying to eat better, drink less booze, drink more water and just go to bed when tired.
