Day 64:
Accepted the inevitable and feel better for it. Even did the next step.

Day 65:
Restarted scroll. Got half of it transferred already. Feel better for the change.

I watched little Vietnamese man make my avocado milkshake today. Now I have a basis to work off of to try to make one at home.

Got lots of puppy snuggles today.

Crockpot is prepped so that I can put it on in the morning and come home to chicken cacciatore and there will be enough to feed me for a week. I won't argue a week's worth of meals for about $7 in ingredients.

Panic averted.

Puppy kisses when I got home.

Ice Cream for Dinner

Day 51:
Had a nice even flow of work at work. No "OMG GET IT DONE NOW!!!" and no "come on clock, tick off another second".

Relaxing evening in.

Day 52:

Woke up and had a nice 20 minute snuggle with Grimm. He climbed up out of the covers onto my chest and snuggled in and fell back asleep. It was hard when I eventually had to get up for reals.

After putting in almost 6 hours at the office on a Saturday I went to the Central Library across the street and to got see and hold and examine a first edition of The Nuremberg Chronicles (what I based Felicity's laurel scroll on), and examine the actual painting technique of loose leaves a 2nd edition (which is only 6 months younger than the 1st edition).

It was so cool that I could hold and examine a book and pages from the the 1490's. I didn't even know our library had them. I was trying to get a copy of another book related on the Chronicles so I could write up more documentation for my Ice Dragon entry and clicked a cool button on the website "browse the shelf" and discovered that way that they had the 1st edition AND I could make an appointment to see it.

While they did not have a painted version of the folio I used, it was still really cool to see the ones I did see in color. And the rare books librarian thought the concept of the SCA was neat and when I showed her a picture of my adaptation of the piece she seemed really impressed.

Lovely TDI visit. Miss Rosina kept asking Grimmy "why you no make Mommy dinner. You home all day while she work?" When we visited Miss Lorraine, he curled up in her lap and tried to fall asleep.

I got a shamrock shake.

Day 44:

Survived the first day of what has potential to be a very rough tax season. Not only do I have my 10 directors and managers that I normally support, I have to do all the tax document scanning (until there is enough that I can train the receptionist to help), AND because one of the other admin left for maternity leave, I have inherited H again (The most high maintenance director in the frim - being his admin is a full time job alone).

Final revisions for the literary category entry of Ice Dragon done.

Day 45:

The universe sent me flowers for Valentine's Day


The metro rail driver saw me running for the train as I got out of work and waited for me rather than drive off like most of them do.

Stomach ick gave me the excuse to lay around in my jammies all day and snuggle with the puppy while watching Syfy on demand (caught up on Face off and Lost Girl).

Found my spurs that went missing right after Pennsic.

Ice Dragon Literary entry written and off to folks for proof reading.

VERY civil barony meeting.

Almost all ducks in a row for event bit I want to put in. If I accomplish the goals - the bid will be to Kingdom almost a full year before it needs to be in.
