* potluch lunch offering done
* early bed

Day 159:

* Seeing a friend get recognized for his work by being asked to hold the Baronial Keystone
* spending time with Boo
* winning Baronial A&S Champion. Now to start thinking on what I'm going to work on to enter in the 7 Pearls competition next War Practice

* vent for hot water heater/furnace fixed. And done cheaply.

* All plants for garden in the ground. Seeds starting to show signed of sprouting.

* less trouble to wrangle 3 stuffy critters into the bathroom so they can breath in the steam.

* Grimm doing a little better. For some degree of better. He's still stuffy and not himself, but he's not longer clingy and wanting to be held CONSTANTLY. Though to be fair, between him and Puck, I'm getting awefully tired of being sneezed on.

Day 151:

* Dinner with Kate, Patrick, and Julie at awesome German place
* Got some needed things for the garden

Day 152:

* used new to me mower that Sis gave me and got the front yard mowed.
* made myself go to the demo. Got so see two friends get awards for their artwork.
* Dinner with Sophie, Julie and Patrick. Yum... steak

Day 153:

* got more gardening done.
* got the early birthday gift/christmas gift from sis set up.
* gaming night. Nothing like mindless violence to help with your mood.

Day 154:

* Today I am glad I forgot to pay the gas bill and had it shut off. The reason I'm glad is that when they came to reconnect it, they spotted a hole in the vent shaft from the water heater. The guy was nice and left the pilot light on and said when I want to shower, turn on the heater then turn it back to pilot after I'm done and get a guy in right away to fix the hole. Druggar came by after work looked at it, did a temp patch and will be back on Wednesday with the right parts to fix it.
* hot showers that let me get steam into sick pets' lungs.

* Scroll calligraphed. Faux Hebrew is a new hand for me.

* Hanging out with friends at Fight Practice.

* Sis arrived for long weekend.

* Finally found Oz's new/favorite hiding spot.
* Nothing broken from his climbs up to said hiding spot.
* 1.96 mile walk with Grimmy in under 40 minutes.
* Guest Room made ready for weekend guest. Still need to put clean sheets on Sister's bed and general vacuum/clean of rest of house. But steps are being made.

* The Nerves Scroll is done. At least my part of it. Oh sure I could have played and tweeked the whitework more, but I am afraid I will mess it up. Just have to take it to Office Max for scanning as it's too big for home and work scanners.

* down 2 more pounds.

* Watching Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and wondering how does a guy from Ancient Greece have no problems understanding Ancient Gaelic when he's washed up on Eire's shores after a shipwreck?

*Mundanes packed for the weekend. Most everything else is piled together in the garage. Just have to get some nibbly/food stuff and I should be good to go. Of course I have to empty the van too of the stuff I took to Heralds and Scribes.

* back to the gym. Did Yoga in the morning and trainer in the afternoon followed by Pool time with Captain Æthelmearc

* Got the Nerve's scroll done to the needing of the Initial. All the rest is done. I can wait to work on it until after the weekend so I can get my classes together for Heralds and Scribes.

* Puppy happy to see me.

Day 122:
* new sparkly nails
* watching Grimm flirt with all the ladies at the salon

Day 123:

* Friday!
* Easy drive to Pittsburgh with good company

Day 124:

* Beautiful weather for a great tournament
* Despite one small bump, good, clean tournament
* Watching two new scribes get recognized for their amazing work.

Day 125:

* Rule #9 - took nap
* Dog and cats happy to see me and didn't want to let me out of their sight all day.

* Got myself up and out to take a 6am yoga class at the gym.

* Had the first of my last 3 trainer sessions. My new old trainer got fired (I'm glad, I didn't like him, which is one reason I ended my sessions), but I like this new one. If it works, come next winter I MIGHT sign back up. But right now I'm going to be doing a lot of travelling this summer and I need the money for that rather than trainer time. We shall see.

* I'm thinking I MIGHT need to get Puck a playmate closer to his own age. He's really starting to pester Talia and I'm hearing a lot of growling and Mrowing from her. On a whim I was looking through PetFinder and thought I found one that might work and went to the Petco he was being shown at to see him. But he was adopted just as I got there. Not meant to be. That's OK. If it's meant to be, the kitten/cat will be there. If not, Puck will either mellow or Talia will put him in his place.

* Weigh-in for week one of the weight loss challenge at work. 8 lbs. I don't expect that to happen every week, but I'm OK with that loss.

*Started packing for the weekend. Garb found - just have to replace a button on the over coat.
