Its been a few weeks and we attended Kingdom A&S Collegium and Competition. I taught my leather care class to one person but handed out a bunch more handouts. Had a nice princesses tea with the Roses. We spilled some good tea while drinking arnold palmers. Had great BBQ from Sir Suttons food truck and at Rudys. I stood way too much and was hurting by the end of the day. I tend to lean to the left naturally and that was not good. But I managed to do some knitting on the musselburgh hat and chat with friends. We also got to watch Master Balldrich get asked to enter the Order of the Laurel and that brings me joy. I will be speaking for him as a laurel at his ceremony.

We had a stressful week of work of finance crap I hate. I thought I was short $3M and its there just odd and yeah...so much annoyance. I was very stressed.

Benton stayed home from me day tripping Melee camp. I had spent Friday doing things with mom's estate and this is a mess with the land. Hopefully we can work it out after a new extensive site survey is done. Cause its going to either be reasonable or messy (like putting Jerry's will into contest). We shall see how my step siblings are about it.

I was given permission to start easing off boot usage. And I wore it Saturday for Melee camp cause that ground was hella uneven and then a chunk of Sunday when I made homemade eggplant DF parmesan with zoodles, and a cinnamon swirl zucchini bread. OMG. very tasty and it makes two loaves. I used one zucchini and we still had enough left over for mel to make fritters (use ritz crackers for the bread crumbs..so good) and still some left over. SO I gave one of the other zukes to my housekeeper.

I'm within an inch of starting the crown decreases on the hat. I've barely read and been playing a lot of games on my phone again. Its okay its what it is...I got a massive migraine on Sunday night at 1am. And I was down for the count for two days. I slept a lot and missed work and yeah. Not great. Probably stress, dehydration and weather change all combined. We got a huge set of storms come in on Tuesday. Spicy kept cowering from the thunder, running to the windows to yell at the rain and snuggle up on my chest. It was cute.

Today I'm at work. I wore the boot to walk in since its like 1/4 mile and then switched to my shoes. I've gone down the stairs just not up them yet. We shall see.

Wednesday was our 20th Wedding Anniversary, we've been to busy to do anything planned. Mel suprised me with Flowers and then suggested we head to dinner out as a family. We hit Sachiko Sushi for tasty noms. We got done and then the boys were in frantic pack mode for the Golden Dragon Tourney. They left in the van just after I left for work today and I will be all by my lonesome until Sunday night. Which will be nice. I have a one shot game with Erika doing D&D on Saturday. I have plans to pick up the house a bit and finish that hat. Enjoy some me time and just relax. I will probably do some work but most of that is dictated by some things going on today to make some new info going through. All good. Not as much stress.

So there were are...I'm still reading the Enchantress and its meh. I hope I can crank through that and move on to somethign on my active TBR.

so update...nuff said

So the ankle has felt better, a bit...its a large ache which makes sleeping hard but I've been having a few beers and drugs and that helps. But honestly, not the best thing, so hopefully today the I know what it is, know what I'm supposed to do or not do. With discussions with the hubby I'm going to sit and look pretty at crown and knit or work on things. I have a few projects. I will get to hang with lferion and Dominique and whomever else drops by and that will be nice.

On the book front I finished #35 Sleep No More and wow. That was scary and exciting. Lots of revelations and the whole what is reality and who gets to decide what is a better choice. The novella at the end was really good and scary. But it was a lot of growth for some of the more background characters. I love this series so much.

So I started #36 Enchantress by James Maxwell. I got it free on Kindle at some point. Interesting world thus far but I'm only a few chapters in. We shall see what I think as I get further in...the one thing that is jarring is the time jumps...like a year passes within a page and yeah that is weird.

But there we are...not a lot but hopefully an update after the doc today.
