storytimewithjoe | Guess what? I did it!

I did it! I really did it! “What?” you may be asking. I went to an event and did pretty much absolutely NOTHING! And ya know what? It was splendid!

This weekend, we wended our way down to San Diego for Calafian Anniversary. Well… that isn’t entirely true. Paul headed down early. I slept in and joined Caterucia for the roll-in-late caravan. By the time we got there, opening court was just ending, and we joined everyone for a gorgeous afternoon of happy times, fun conversation, food, and pretty much relaxing.

Part of me felt a pang of guilt for not jumping up to assist with the feast. But yes, I beat said pang into submission and decided to sit down and eat a feast having had no hand in the preps. And ya know what? OMG, it was DELICIOUS! I’m almost fearful – three weekends in a row, three separate SCA feasts in three separate areas – and every single one of them was stellar. I do NOT want to rock this boat!!!!!!! Caid needs more good cooks, and I can only hope this trend continues.

Heading back home after feast, we were both exhausted which really makes no sense since the day was pretty low-impact. All I can figure is that maybe we are both still trying to catch up on rest. So now, we face a short work week, holiday preps, and various and sundry house and other projects. For the most part, we’re not venturing far away from home over the Thanksgiving holidays. And ya know what? That makes me a VERY happy camper.
