SkyeDS: how was your weekend?
evile: good. Not long enough.
SkyeDS: amen. always need a weekend to get over the weekend. we
didn't get back till 4 am this morn
evile: ew.
SkyeDS: just this weekend found out Nana has Alzheimer's.
evile: People have been worried about that for awhile now.
SkyeDS: sineater says nobody told him.
evile: Nobody told me either. *shrug*
SkyeDS: she's at the point where the doctor took her car away. Katy
and Stephanie go over there most of the day.
SkyeDS: she was very happy to see us.
evile: I'm glad she was happy to see you.
SkyeDS: the doctor does to her that shit that makes me so mad - talks
over her head to whomever else is there like she isn't within earshot.
evile: *nod* I hate that, too.
SkyeDS: like that time that the doctor was spelling D I E over my
head to sineater
evile: ugh.
SkyeDS: I told Nana I would completely understood if she shot her
doctor in the face with a bazooka.
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: got to dress the girls up for the first time with the new
stuff, which was pretty, practice was awesome, and the boys are now
qualified for mounted crest combat, which is a special auth. over and
above advanced. They have to wear rapier masks while they try to
knock a mounted crest off each other's head.
evile: awesome.
SkyeDS: puter just rebooted on me
evile: yuck!
evile: I really needed 1 more day of weekend. I meant to do dishes &
laundry yesterday and didn't get around to it.
SkyeDS: I didn't do laundry either, and desperately needed to
evile: I managed to scrounge up this week's work clothes, just
barely.
SkyeDS: nodndo
evile: I am not sure about undergarments, but I do have enough
outerwear for 2 weeks.
evile: Sweetie hasn't been able to find out anything else about the bus
show/campout this weekend, so I may give it a miss.
SkyeDS: :/
evile: Are y'all still planning on going to the ESA campout/festival?
SkyeDS: paid for the tickets this morning
SkyeDS: apparently they're mailing them, I hope we get them on time :|
evile: hm. Yeah, I finally got something in the mail from them
advertising the festival, postmarked 9/29, arrived in my mailbox by
the 2nd.
SkyeDS: well, I just emailed them with a forward of my paypal receipt
and informed them that two of us would arrive Thursday and one of us
Friday, and would a copy of the receipt suffice to get us in, in case
our tickets didn't arrive via snail mail in time
evile: I guess if I do go, I'll just pay at the gate.
evile: The bellydance show on Friday was way cool, BTW. There was a
group from Houston whose style is apparently called "american
tribal"...they had very cool jewelry & hair.
SkyeDS: cool. order massive amounts of shit form Egypt, it gets here
in two weeks
SkyeDS: order a corset and a tarot deck, they arrive in three days
SkyeDS: order two necklaces, from the US, paid for them immediately
after winning them, more than two weeks ago, they aren't here.
evile: that's pretty screwed up.
SkyeDS: ebay = caveat emptor
evile: indeed.
SkyeDS: but these people have an ebay store and are power sellers,
and it's not going to reflect well on them that they've admitted I
paid really fast and given me positive feedback, and then me turn
around and say they were really slow, and give them neutral or
negative.
evile: *nod*
evile: I've been scouring the internet for a spiky Kuchi bracelet
like I saw one of the dancers wearing on Friday, but no luck.
SkyeDS: :(
evile: I could always make leather vambraces, give them an "old
silver" patina & put in metal spikes. But I wanted _those_. *pout*
evile: Sweetie got a bike this weekend. (bicycle) he and Peglegasus went
running around all day yesterday & Sweetie's all like "I'm gonna ride it
to work!!" hehe.
SkyeDS: how far away is that?
SkyeDS: is not bad idea, while weather is nice anyway
evile: he works in one of the AMD buildings down by Parks & Wildlife
headquarters.
evile: I think Peglegasus inspired him--Peglegasus has been riding his bike and
working out for about a month & lost 10 lbs.
SkyeDS: inspiration = good
evile: Yeah. I don't really care if Sweetie's a little pudgy, but with
his dad having been diabetic & dying of a heart attack in his early
50s, I am glad to see him excited about exercise.
SkyeDS: sineater = bad family health history too
evile: *nod*
evile: At this point, Peglegasus is living on borrowed time and I think he
is finally realizing that.
SkyeDS: :-/
evile: who knows. Medicine now is better than it used to be. He might
be around for a good long time yet.
evile: Did anyone get pictures of y'all this weekend, BTW?
SkyeDS: no
SkyeDS: thought we'd take pictures at HK
evile: I want to see pictures of everybody in their new schtuff!
SkyeDS: practice not a good place for pictures
SkyeDS: the girls were only garbed up for a short while because it
was hot
evile: Sweetie still hasn't fixed my computer so I can load in pictures.
SkyeDS: and we weren't garbed at all
evile: Oh, Ok then. I don't feel like I missed out on so much, then :)
SkyeDS: was a marvelous time, just not a good photo op
evile: *nod*
evile: well, seeing as that's pretty much all I do when I go to stuff
like that...I don't feel as bad.
SkyeDS: slowly but surely getting Mirage less skittish about the game
(very slowly)
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: the deal I've made with her is, when she does it because I
ask her to do it (without being silly about it) I'll stop asking her
evile: ok.
SkyeDS: and if/when I compete - I told Laura I would at Gulf Wars, as
a beginner most likely (even t ho I"m authorized as advanced), I'll
ride Jess
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: Jess has heart for the game and enjoys it, Rag doesn't. But
I"m not going to accept refusal based on fear. She's going to have
to trust me that far.
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: ESA responded back, all is well there :)
evile: oh, cool.
evile: they seem to be as well (or better) organized as Pact & CMA
were.
SkyeDS: my friend Debby lost her dog over the weekend
evile: aw. I'm sorry to hear that. :(
SkyeDS: and, apparently, her great gramma at the same time
SkyeDS: good grief
evile: man...sounds like me & Sweetie last year around this time.
evile: Seems like stressful awful stuff just happens in big clumps.
SkyeDS: when I'm out having fun, and not around to be a comfort
evile: stuff happens, everyone deals differently. I wanted to be
alone through a lot of what went on this time last year. It's hard to
know what people need from you when they're greiving.
SkyeDS: nods
evile: It is a comfort to know that people are there, if theyr'e
needed, but not in your face while you're dealing with stuff. So if
she knows that you're there if needed, that will probably be a good
thing for her.
SkyeDS: I'd like to take the kids to go see her but I don't see
having time to hit Waco with the family before the weekend we already
planned
evile: *nod*
evile: She might not be up for kids visiting, anyway...
evile: Well, I'm going to get all my papers shuffled & go on home.
Please give my condolences to your friend.
SkyeDS: nods
SkyeDS: wind to your wings :)
