Ye gods what a day! The stuff with today as the deadline is done. I only had to ask 2 more questions before everything was complete. Then I discovered that I had left a vital page out of someone's employment documents. Argh.
The weather is quite different today. It's overcast and it keeps threatening to rain. As it is, every time I've gone out, it's been sprinkling.
Richard & Kathy got the word. They'll be going to get their new daughter at the end of the month. Looks like I'd better find a baby present.
website of the day: 7-year-old article about the globalization of English
Tatting: I ran out of thread so I reloaded my shuttle. With the wrong size. So I have a shuttle full of size 80. No problem, thinks I. I'll just put the variegated purple (my ecru relief) back onto the ball & fill that. No time this morning; I'll do it at lunch. Except, I somehow managed to not pack the thread. *sigh* At least, while waiting in line this morning I got an entire size 80 ecru butterfly done & started on another one.
Books: I finished the player section of Scion: Hero. I have no idea what I'm going to do with this information though.
clothes: navy loafers, khakis, brown belt, blue UNC polo (2005 NCAA, etc), turquoise band ring, fem/dancer ring, hematite ring, magnet & bead bracelet, dyed howlite pendant (I really doubt that it's real turquoise, not that shade of blue), turquoise feather earring & loose hair. I washed it this morning & haven't bothered to do anything with it since.

Chris's Game: We finished off the other two trolls (duergar) and the last three kobolds. Our poor dwarf monk, Vertum, was so upset when he woke up (From being -55 hp with a delay death spell), that he hadn't killed a troll. He was happy that he'd killed duergar though.
We backtracked them deep into the mountain. There, in the depths, we found another one of those cities. But it's apparently an earlier effort because it's not as well constructed and in worse shape.
Just as Deriot (Diana) & Vertum (David) were about to retreat from the city full of kobolds & duergar, they saw most of the kobolds being herded out of the city by duergar (dark dwarf) commanders. That's not enough to get even our characters to attack an entire city. But the sight of the Commander of the Imperial dwarf legions (ie our current CO) being dragged into the city in chains is. In two weeks, the next game session, we go try to rescue the commander, without a chance to rest up from our last fight. Kelis (my character) still has two wild shapes left and a number of spells: note - badger is really not the right shape to fight anything big. You just don't do enough damage (ooh, both claws & bite connected, raging, max damage, that'll be 10 points of damage).
Bus Pass: Still can't find it. Guess what I'll be doing at lunch.
book: finished the character creation section. Now on to the rules section of Scion: Hero.
New Comic: Chivalry & Knavery - the art is really simple but the story is entertaining; somewhat D&D centric.
clothes: black slacks, slippers, belt (silver tone belt), white polo, Celtic knot ring, stone ring, triskele earrings, triskele pendant (new), black glass bead bracelet, & plaited hair with white elastic at the bottom and brown/white/black glass bead elastic at the top.

Here's Sunday's post:
Gaming: No Mike at Rosemary's game and we did lots of roleplay. We managed to get the game back on track.
Church Street Fair: Had fun. Talked to Christopher H & Anitra. Got to see a few more people but not much chance to chat with anyone else. Met a few more people though. It was hot but I was in the shade & there was a breeze off & on. It still wore me out though. I went to bed at 9:30 & didn't wake up 'til 7:30 am. Even then, I slept badly (kicked off the sheet & one blanket); Chris said that he heard me talking and I sounded disturbed.
Books: I finished the first book in Rogues' Reform & part of the second one, Lady of Expectations. I read the third one on Sunday, Unwilling Conquest. I started How to Engage an Earl. I bought a new gamebook: Scion Hero.
Tatting: THREE FEET! Plus a few inches done. I'm almost halfway done; maybe 3 repeats to go to be halfway.
Gaming: No Mike at Rosemary's game and we did lots of roleplay. We managed to get the game back on track.
Trinic-con round zero: Currents was fun. It's not a hack & slash module, so that's always more fun.
Clothes: Saturday's outfit: burgundy flower tank under white gauze blouse with embroidered flowers (I realllly need to change the laces on the drawstrings though); bright pink, etc floral gauze skirt; black ~slippers; dragon pendant; pewter moon & star pendant; Indian silver scroll-y earrings (the silver is wearing off); both dragon rings; fem ring; hematite ring; ponytail with the silver & beads spool knit elastic; magnetic bead bracelet & bloodstone ring (that I broke).
Sunday's outfit: Dralion t-shirt, blue jeans, brown belt, navy loafers, dragon pendant, silver scroll-y earrings (the new round ones), fem ring, flower band, hematite ring, & plait.
I have a blog entry for this weekend but I haven't loaded it to blogger yet. I will try to do that tonight.
Meanwhile: Another restless night. I have had vivid dreams the last two nights (& fairly realistic). Last night, what I remember, was influenced by reading the Scion: Hero rulebook. What I remember involved getting the evidence to prove a felony against a college student; named Keith or Kevin. I was worried about having all the documents in one place in case he managed to get his hands on them. The other is one of my co-workers getting a new phone; she was showing it off while we were in the lobby of our new building looking at the damage caused by several of the large square panes of glass/windows falling out/destroyed. When she made a call from the phone later, it somehow caused some of the hexagonal windows/panes of glass to fall out. Because of that, I had to fire her.
I know it doesn't make much sense here. But there was a larger story & it was all connected. I just don't remember the details.
Bus Pass: I managed to lose the badge holder with my work ID & my bus pass. I had it when I got home on Friday. I could not find it this morning. I honestly don't even remember seeing it since Friday. I checked the pocket of the jeans that I wore on Friday (& the ones that I thought that I had worn), the laundry room, the couch, my purse, my pack, etc. No sign of it. I will check again tonight.
clothes: black jeans, ~slippers, polo shirt (Geoff), belt (w/ silvertone buckle); dragon band ring, Celtic knot ring, hematite ring, dragon pendant & earrings; ^ plaited hair.
