As the World Burns SCA & TOA & EDS & POTS WEEEE!

 Flares and sensory perception over load. 

This week Our Heroine put all her energy in getting ready for The Tournament of Arts. The heroine has a strange thing that is her art that is histories of games. because this is such a broad thing She has reduced her scope to 1400's to 1601 basically the Tudor period (if in England) 

The heroine's project was putting her information in a semblance of order. She called on the Magical powers of her roommate the Side Witch. The Side Witch is a reader and writer of words. as such the Heroine hand writes or dictates what she is thinking then reads it out loud to the Side Witch while the Side Witch corrects the words so she knows what they mean. then she types them up and corrects sentence structure because for some reason the Heroine speaks and writes like English is her second language and English speakers get confused by the structure (the College English teach got a kick out of it, because it was not wrong, but did require a full read though before trying to make any notes or corrections)  

The Side witch also put together a bibliography, from the list of books and pages that the Heroine made. 

This has all been up loaded to the Either Blog Land. In the mean time the Heroine also cut up one of her hand outs from 2022 teaching of the class on Game of goose because it listed the 3 most important details for dating the game and the rules. 

On the way yo this Tournament of Arts our Heroine realized she had forgotten her hat. the Heroine take very seriously when dressing in period style keeping correct as much as possible (health and wellness exceptions aside) as such she bought a scarf and some fabric to add body and cut and sewed a hat in about 2 hrs, mostly sitting in a parking lot in the front seat of the Truck-a-sauruse rex, A tilted hat is very much a thing that is part of our Heroine's persona. She is a  ombudsman class (think foreman  level manager, who is in charge but also works beside the staff in a small business) 16c Ale wife in the port district of the City of Swansea Wales. that is were she runs her Tavern it is mostly Ombudsmen class sailors who come in think EXOs or Chief rank. regulars bring games as gifts for the Heroine some were her late husband's friends.  (and that is a little of her persona.) 

Between the drive and sleeping in a bed not designed by her, as well as eating what ever was easiest even with Allergy meds and Naproxen our Heroin's body was attacking her. the battle was hard but spreading googly eyes helps  keep her mind off such things. having a down days Monday helped with coffee and tea the whole day. Hugs were mostly avoided because of pain.by the end of day the Heroine was up to a few. 

She got to sit next to a dear friend from the Pennsic games tent and that made things great & envy his ability to write. and He didn't freak when our heroine had to lay down and eat salty food out of no were (I swear that a good salty breakfast was eaten this POTS episode was uncalled for)

The Event culminated with The Heroine's Apprentice sister Bead Babe Being Elevated to Laurel It is Mamma Tink's first Apprentice to be elevated. We were all thrilled and tiered by end of day There are not enough pills to make the Heroine good at sitting still day. It was great seeing the Whole family minus one.

Now the Bookkeeping has been done for the day and night has come even the grow lights have shut down 

This coming weekend is Pirate fest at PoP's in Sargent IL ARRRR! the heroine gets to see most of her friends who also work at the Ren Fair but they are hanging at the bar together. She and the Great Wizzard of Aim have VIP seating. maybe that post will be done in Pirate wording. lol
