Rain, fur, and antibiotics

[callistotoni]

Called and got a doctor's appointment for this afternoon, so I stayed home, out of the storm, and waited for my 2:45 appt. Doctor thinks that my problem is, once again, my @%^&#!!! sinuses and gave me some antibiotics and a perscription for more if necessary. My body is not feeling so out of it and achy painy today, but my jaw/ear ach it the same as yesterday. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon.

Working on the Sub-Optimal-But-Learning-Experiance tippits, and I think I can finish them before bedtime tonight -- yay! My sewing area is afloat with white rabbit fur (which matches the white kitty fur quite nicely ;-) ).

Poor Brandee is not going to clear her stall today. It's been rainy and windy all day and doesn't look like it's letting up any time soon. Given that in the best traffic it's a 40 min drive to the barn, and all the accidents I've read about (a normal thing here in CA when the first big rain hits) I've decided to stay off road. I'm thinking Brandee is better served by an alive and unhurt Mommy than a traffic accident victim. Supposed to change to light rain tomorrow, so I'll make it up to the Paint Princess then.

J/S tells me that his gamboson is no longer working for him (no pressure! ;-) ), so after the tippits get on this overcotehardie it's time to tackle the Charles du Blois poupoint pattern. I've still have a big mental block about this project, even though all I have to do is Follow The Instructions on tashadandelion's pattern. I don't know why I'm so intimidated by this darn project. Part of it, I'm sure, is my mental baggage about all my gambason attemps being complete failures. :-/ I also am intimidated by the fact that I won't be able to do a bunch of fittings because J/S still lives in another state. (%#%$@%*!!!-it, i.e. poosers :-( ). I'd kidnap Klaus and have him hold my hand through this project if it wasn't for the fact that he has a baby son, a job, and is in grad school. :-/

And just 2 more days until J/S flies in for the weekend -- yay! Coronet will have a fun crowd. :-)

Speaking of Coronet,

What's your knowledge of the 14th Century play date? We've got about 12 cooks coming, so there will be plenty of food, and some entertainment as well...

Wow! 12 cooks! Can I volunteer to eat? ;)

please do. Without volunteer eaters, cooks are not happy people.

Hope you're feeling better before the weekend.

I'm thinking the play date part will be low key. I'm bringing The Decameron and some selected Cantebury Tales and some thoughts on Patient Griselda to entertain the cooks with. That and some bocce and I'm thinking we are good to go. I hear there will be singing. :-) I also thought I could bring some 14th C-relavent books for people to look at. If you have some other thoughts we have a couple of days to pull them together, so feel free to suggest something. :-) Given that I'm daytripping and that we'll have shade from the trees I wasn't going to bring my sunshade.

Like I've said in some previous posts, I'll still have to take care of Brandee in the morning and J/S might get a riding lesson, so I doubt we'll be able to show up until about noon or later. i can drop the bocce set and some drinking water off in the morning if folks think that's a good idea.

Sounds great to me!

You know, Tasha is a total sweetie and if you run into problems that aren't already covered on her website, I'm sure she'd be happy to talk to you about them.

Throw that mental baggage overboard! You are a rocking costumer goddess!
