thunderstorm here

it is much more pleasant inside a house

I see! I'm just pleasantly pleased to 'see' a person here G How are you besides the Storm?

not too bad!

been working on class prep

AND event prep

we have an event the 23rd, I'm class coordinator, so I have been recruiting teachers & setting the schedule

Okay so you are both the man and the middle-man! That sounds like a LOT of work

But I am glad you are not too bad 🙂 How is Ramona?

goblinesque

I have not seen Shady in... a long time . And Rahne has not come back yet either. I did see Rae briefly blip in.

I hope Shady is okay

Me too. I know she was having trouble job hunting 😞

Rahne is probably in recovery mode

Probably! I did see the picture of you two together ! Which made me smile!

thought you would like it

I did!

Oh, saw this earlier... and it made me think of some of our characters of varying altitudes:

hee

If you want to game anything, let me know, but I am also okay with shooting the bull or listening 🙂

shooting the bull works

so

Mom is coming Friday to craft show on Saturday

there is still SO MUCH PENNSIC in the living room

Oh dear. Surplus. Is this stuff you want to keep or is it more like 'I could gift this to someone' or?

it's camping supplies and garb and bedding

Ah, so how much room do you have under your bed?

Now I have a mental image of Ramona wandering the jungle of garb and tents and bedding with a small safari hat on!

she likes to lay on the trifold foam mattress case

it is both high and comfy

She has the high ground, like a Jedi!

Tell me more about the craft show? I can't say I've ever been to one but I assume a lot by the name that they show off well, crafts.

We do a fair number

Shaker Woods is a big one, though. Lots of vendors.

Handmade goods, jewelry, pottery, etc

it's kind of the "start" of christmas shopping for me

Better to start too soon that too late. Less stress!

Any glass blowing? I've always thought that was neat as hell.

oh, there was one of those at Pennsic!

Ooo! See, I have terrible fingers, 'essential tremors' they call it I think. So seeing folks just roll the liquid glass around like a pro has me admiring and envious, and it can look awesome as they work their alchemy with the right materials thrown in.

And for that matter, I know you are a costume maker extraordinaire, but is there anything you're hoping to see at the craft show in particular?

Mom has an essential tremor, and I occasionally get a wee wiggle that makes me wonder if it'll happen to me too

honestly, just things that would make good gifts. gifts are hard.

👍 I hear that. I've got a nephew who doesn't like to read. He's an adult now and while I get that we're all different "I don't like to read" feels ALIEN to me, and a bit sad.

So shopping for him is mostly sports team stuff because I know it is safe.

So i Hope you find a trove of gifts!

yeah, my niblings don't read much
