A Glimpse into my mind

*Got the big monthly project at work done, earlier than usual.

*the two scrolls I needed to get the calligraphy done on for the weekend were done in plenty of time for the illuminators to finish.

*Went to Known World Heraldic and Scribal Symposium in Las Vegas. Took some good classes and saw folks I only get to see once a year (twice, if I'm lucky).

*Had a blast going around Las Vegas, seeing the Sights with J and J and T.

*OMG some of the most amazing food I've had in a long time. Paid for it both with money and weight gain but I have no regrets. Have places I would like to try should I get out there again.

* Absolutely no breathing issues when in the desert. Maybe there really is something about the dry air and asthmatics.

*coming home to being told by the critters that the missed me deeply and are glad I'm home.

* Sisters. I have the best one in the universe. She came to my rescue in more than one way before she left.

* warm sunny days.

* finished Supernatural up to the end of season 8.

* continuing to make progress in the weight loss challenge and signed up for a FB SCA biggest loser challenge to keep me going after the one at work ends. (while I don't expect to win at all since I've been working on the weight loss for a month now and will probably hit a plateau soon, it gives me incentive to keep going to at least Pennsic)

* Movie date with the girls. We saw Captain America

* Got the gardens turned over and some plants in the ground.

* Grimmy got fence conversation time with the new little girls next door. Riley is a mouthy little thing who is all bravery, while her sister Misty is definitely the follower of the two. The body language with all the dogs was tails and ears up, even if it was at times "I can take you" from the girls. It was cute that when Grimmy asked to go back inside Riley stood at the fence and whined until I went and got him to come back out and talk to her some more.

* I did not actively insult, swear or otherwise embarrass myself, my friends or family when I really wanted to lash out.

* while not done, I got the scroll to a point where I was OK at least showing it for court. It got the OOH, but I think that's only because it is covered in gold.

* lovely Friday family dinner at the Doma with Katie and the Duchess. Grimmy had happy pack time with one of his favorite humans.

* The event in general went well. Lots of backlog scrolls were reunited with their forever people.

* Despite it being the 4th time I have spoken for someone's elevation, this was the first time I've spoken for someone from MY Kingdom.

* I won the Heraldic Display category in the A&S display. I don't know where I ranked in the Scribal Arts one, but I did not expect to win and I'm so excited for the man who did. He did amazing work and really deserved it.

* Nimbus is coming out more and has been doing food with the other felines rather than asking for his bowl to be in another room. And he got morning time with Meirwen over breakfast Saturday morning.
