Yesterday was tiring on many levels. I'm still not feeling great after the tests on Monday. My arm is still got bumps though at least they don't itch...but I'm tired and out of sorts. Got home after a long day of paperwork (productive but still annoying) and slept for quite a while. The girls were happy to have me stationary and I slept well but was still out of sorts. I got dinner and then finished up the armor stuff, got dressed, tried on armor, mel made adjustments (though I need to redo the straps....ooops) and we left. The new armor is heavier in weight than my old but it fit so well that I thought I was missing stuff all night. I fought well, but decided that I should block a glaive shot with my basket hilt and I cut my knuckle and bruised the heck out of it. I couldn't grip my sword so I ended early...which made me mad..I still had some fight left...grump.

Tara took a picture so hopefully I will get that soon to show off. Though the weird thing is I got really cold due to the metal sucking out my body heat....so I'm thinking I will need to pad out my new coat. Sighs. I didn't want to quilt again but I guess I will. We got home from practice really, really late. Mel was chatting with a new person...we were still chatting when the lights shut off...yeah, we were really late. Got home, made cocoa, had a shower and then snuggled into bed and read more in Smoke and Shadows by Tanya Huff. I'm actually glad she wrote more in the world that I came to hate (didn't like the ending to the Blood series). I only made it about 5-6 pages and I was beat. My hand hurt and I probably should have taken something but I was too interested in a warm bed and cocoa than getting back up to get drugs.

We woke up really, really late (I guess we kept hitting the snooze)...and then I fell back asleep while mel was in the bathroom..oops. So, I didn't want to get up and here I am at 9am and I'm still tired and keep thinking of my bed. Sighs.

Well, tonight after work (I need to make up time) I will work on putting the placard on and getting better straps on the sides...though I might wait until the weekend...not sure. Then it will be kung fu and an early bed time...cause goodness am I tired.
