Since I have been negligent in keeping up my journal, here is what I have been up to recently.

Activities for the last two weeks:
Oct 11-13
Skipped Friday night waltz. Parking/traffic was really bad and I couldn’t stay past 10 (shouldn’t stay past 9) and I had work to do on the Green Fairy. Waaaaa. Maybe I will make it to Friday night waltz West Nov 1.

A previous entry was the picture of my Green Fairy from the Witch’s Ball. A fun event that I will be probably attending next year when the theme is the Silk Road. I got there really late (10:30pm and it ended at midnight), but I did start getting ready at 2pm. I just need to not do such elaborate costumes. I had fun and then I helped with strike and load out. I forgot how much I enjoy doing that. I was almost as much fun as the dance part.

I got to spend some of that Sunday with Corvid and the rest, I was dead. Laundry, storage, Forest Faire, seeing Ken, working on other costumes, none of that happened. Dead. Didn’t move.

Monday, I did get to see my out-of-town friend,D-chick, at the Plough and stay late since I took Tuesday off work. And Rachel and I told stories at Au Coquette afterwards. I keep forgetting how much I enjoy hanging out afterwards.

Last weekend:

Oct 19-20
Little tamer, Saturday Ken and I finished everything with storage. All my stuff is in my own locker and we got everything out of our shared space and it is now closed out. Of course, I still have all the stuff that needs to go to goodwill in the back of my car, but at least I am not paying $75 a week for it anymore.
Then Ken and I headed down to Northern Faire to meet up with the Danger Twins. Good faire, nice site, too damn far away through bad traffic patterns. Spent a couple of hours there. Enough to scope it out, see what it is like, want to work it and realize I never could (too hot most weekends), and probably will not go back next year. Too damn far and bad traffic. Ken went home with the Danger Twins and I went off for a date with Corvid. Saw Tuxedo, enjoyed it. Headed back to Berkeley Sunday to visit with friends of Corvid’s and had pretty much a mellow day.

Normal night at the Plough Monday, was out of there around 10pm so I could make it to work the next day.

Tuesday night was spent at the airport visiting with my mom. Mostly a nice time with only a little glitch/fight at the end. She is off for a year to live in Bali which is now her home.

This brings up to the painful back and the current time. What is in store for next week? Hmmm
