Fourth weekend

[clevermanka]

We're over halfway done, my friends!

It was lovely to meet arkhamrefugee and his travelling companion D, who mentioned having an LJ but damned if I remember what it is (sorry!). I hope the brief visit was worth the trip out. D, I hope you get your knee fixed soon and that it wasn't too awfully painful.

Once again, my weather magic worked and I (yes! I alone!) held back the rain for another weekend. I have a very powerful ritual that involves carrying my wet-weather bumbershoot and not putting on sunscreen. It's an effective spell and works more often than not. Hooray me. Hooray for not walking around in the rain.

Saturday started out happy on the garb front with the much-anticipated arrival of my new hat, seen in this lovely patron photo here. I was so thrilled with it I wore it for most of both days this weekend. It's teh hawt.

A headache started to develop near the end of Saturday and I was very glad I'd not planned to attend the various afters offered. By the time I got home, it was pounding pretty bad, and the pain (and diphenhydramine) knocked me out pretty much immediately after my shower. I was so gone I didn't even hear the game traffic leaving after I fell asleep.

Sunday I woke up with a bad sinus headache that threatened migraine status. By 10:30 I could feel it creeping up on maximum density. Luckily, breaca, otterdancing and a friend of starwyse shot some reiki at me while starwyse reiki'ed and rubbed my neck and skull. It helped immensely and I was even able to soldier through parade! Many thanks, you wonderful women. I felt a little delicate through the rest of the day, but that was a huge step above "fragile" or, worse "broken"--which is certainly where I was headed.

Despite the new hat, I don't think Azucena really came out much this weekend. I think that's why Azure kept calling me Lydia. I even had a hard time staying in accent. Stupid allergies and barometric pressure shifts.

This will be a busy week, with a sewing commission for a friend, and remaking the first of nottygypsy's bodices. sigh I'll be offline Wednesday, Thursday, and possibly Friday.

Notty and Mynx ALSO called you Lydia, when talking with me. So I don't know if they were picking up on Azucena's lack of presence, or if I was infecting people!

Ack!

At least we got some pics of us together... :)

I'm glad it helped. You were surrounded all day with Reiki. If only I lived closer...

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

ohhhh. That hat! So fetching.

Maybe you burped, ever time I hear a burp lately I say "Lydia", as if offering up a tribute to a burping goddess.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Er. Thanks. I think.

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

Nooooooo. I don't think so!

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

I suppose you're impling you don't burp, well you do, I know you do or you'd explode!

(K, I'm a little slap happy today.)

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

(burp) Amen

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

Oh, I definintely burped (a lot on Sunday, actually) but that wasn't why you called her Lydia.

I infected you, I say! Iiiiiinfected!

(Who's slap-happy?)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

We all are, apparently, 'cept I'm even too tired to be slap happy.

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

My eyeballs are expanding and pressing back onto my brain, and I think the pain is overwhelming the tiredness. And allowing the insanity to breath.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It is the bomb. I love it!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I really appreciated it. Immensely!

I'm just happy you were able to make it through the day, my dear.

It was very lovely seeing you as well. I have told all the other girls this but I don't think I mentioned to you that the (very excellent) pictures that are up of you all in your brothel costumes does not do justice to just how pretty and vibrant you all are in person.

So, yes... the weekend was good. ;-) Plans are being formulated for a return, non-KCRF trip. And D's journal is badbha, just so you know.

We are rather a force of nature when we're all grouped together. =) Thank you. That's a beautiful compliment.

Hurray for return trips! See you then!
