Hey, all. Quick check-in. I’ll be on this evening, but not before. Love ya!

Later you

back later tonight

back and forth a lot

How goes?

Pooped! Took Things to the Lady of the Lakes Renaissance Fair today. DH stayed home with his chores.

Walked about 2 miles, not a BIG deal, but something.

To my knees that sounds like plenty! Hope you had fun at the Fair

I met up with a workmate from 🐭 :female-police-officer::skin-tone-2: and her three lil ones and yeah! We walked, talked, caught up a bit. They live in the area, got there first, left first. Then I went and found my Things and we did the fair.

Hey, glad you caught up. Small world (no pun intended)

But the pun is RIGHT THERE.

I KNOW

Yeah, we were in touch and met up on purpose but it was still good. Right now 🐭 is not hiring in my field but keeping up the network is important, ya know?

Yup. Keep those bridges clear and ready

Yep. ((Sigh))

That said, sounds like the Lady of the Lakes Ren Fair was fun period 🙂

Yeah! It's a baby fair but I love that the county hosts it and the high school culinary students make/run the food stalls.

Okay, that last is a nice touch. May steal that in game sort of

Hi

How goes?

How's housemate, Mr. D?

Ren faire sounds fun, Shady. 🙂

Still hurting in the back but hanging on.

She has an appointment for follow-up, right?

I probably carried more weight than I really should have, and am chagrined at how 2 miles left me beat, but it's a start.

I think so

Yup, Shady. A start, and keep going. 🙂

Good, Mr. D.

How are you, Rahne?

Yup! My 'plan' is to hit the old folks fitness center tomorrow morning. That's a very loose goal.

Don't forget to stretch. 🙂

I'm good. I ate too much today, and I'm feeling it. Oof. But I got some stuff done.

AND...son and his wife have invited us up to spend Thanksgiving with her family! 🙂

WONDERFUL

I've promised not to bring politics along. (Her family is....Conservative. Sigh.)

I know. I think it is best for YOUR nerves if no one does

Yup. Apparently, they've been cautioned to keep away from politics, too.

Hear hear. And, um, maybe have a plan for what you do/how you respond/your own self-care if someone DOES bring it up and won't let it go.

Oh, I can always just excuse myself for a little bit. And stay well-medicated.

I'm actually hoping we can continue to be invited up there for the holidays. There are a LOT of little kids in her family. The holidays are SO much better with kids around.

You're a sentimental sort 🙂 But okay

I love that.

Oh, crap...I forgot to bring my old laptop to get my files off the hard drive. The screen doesn't work, so I can't do it myself. I've been meaning to do this for WEEKS.

Oops

I think in the future I'll upload my character sheets into Slack so I don't have to go hunting for them.

SMART

Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren’t go a-hunting
For fear of little men;
