Afternoon. It's been chaotic this morning. I'm hoping things settle down before I completely lose it. Tea, ice cream and meditation in my immediate future.

Got the tea, ice cream and meditation done. Also got a short nap, thanks to my stubborn kitty who insisted that I take one!
I am now prepared to face the day.
I hope!

So far so good. Everything is peaceful and quiet.
I've been thinking about the costume pieces I want to make.
So far:
A "swordswoman's shirt" out of black teeshot poplin.
A cropped bodice/vest out of trigger poplin. One each in black and red.
A cropped "peasant" blouse out of teeshot poplin. One each in black and red.
A "Star Wars" style cloak with sleeves and a hood out of black trigger poplin.
A "regular" style cloak without sleeves out of trigger poplin. One each in red and black.
I'll probably come up with more but those will get me started and aside from the bodice/vests, they are pretty much "one size fits most" which is good since renovations to the body are still ongoing. Smiley

Skywise is home and I'm heading out. He has the super late shift tomorrow through Thursday and I'm going to need my rest!

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

I found my Kelvar shooting gloves. A couple more days of good weather and I'll be out shooting, probably after my dental appointment on Thursday.

Interesting afternoon. Got a lot done and since I won't be starting dinner until about 11 or so, I need a sandwich!
Thank the Gods for tuna in single serving pouches!!

Afternoon.
Got back from Greenwood a little while ago. We had lunch and I indulged myself in the purchase of some "professional" grade colored pencils. I'm going to have them all eventually but the sets that come in metal storage tins cost too much. So I buy them a few at a time and keep them in a perfectly serviceable plastic storage box purchased at Wal-Mart. The kind that they put out for the kids when school starts.
My NERO Rulebook arrived today. I've barely glanced at it but I've already found something that is superior to the IFGS, superior in that it makes sense.  I'm getting ideas for the system that I want to put together.  Smiley
Right now, I need to get caught up and get my feet warm!
Later.

I've started a very preliminary word doc on the subject of my HERO based LARP. Some things, like character generation, can be lifted straight from the source material since HERO uses the same character generation system for its entire line. It's just a matter of making up "basic" character sheets and "customizing" them to fit the player's concept.  And with HERO if you wanted to LARP "urban fantasy" you could once you had a venue to play in.
Yes, little brain is chewing on the concept...

Been washing dishes and prowling the net. While lurking, I found a possible way to do Close Quarters Combat in LARP when physical contact is prohibited. The Native Americans called it "counting coup" and it was usually but not always done with a weapon and did no damage. Combat with a "coup stick" made to the same safety specifications as other LARP weapons would serve to simulate the various martial arts strikes.  I think I'm going to need to research the use of tonfas.....

I've done a little research AND managed to work on Book 3 a bit. My creative functions look like they are coming back online finally! Right now though, I'm heading out. I have a 9 am in the stupid morning dentist's appointment tomorrow and so naturally, Skywise won't be home until 3 am...  Smiley Thank you, US Postal Service!

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning.
Back from the dentist. I have to go back on 4/19. The "problem tooth" is cracked vertically and he couldn't tell if it has cracked down below the filling or not. He's going to have to take the old filling out to find out. Depending on what he finds, he'll put in a "medicated filling" and leave it to see what happens or do something temporary that will hold until I can see a specialist and have it removed. *sigh* At least the cleaning went well.
Now I need some tea....
Later.

*giggle* Skywise took the cats for a walk. When they were coming back they saw 5 deer in the yard.
The cats saw the deer.
The deer saw the cats.
The deer bolted.
And the little bitty Prince of Midnight took off after them like a cat out of hell.
Like our late beloved Sassy, the little hairball thinks he's a mountain lion.

I've been going through some interesting old emails.  It was a very successful search.

Now, I do believe that turkey bacon is calling my name. Seductively, I might add.


Later.....

Sustenance has been consumed and I should feel human again shortly. Think a nap is in my future though. Skywise got home early last night but not early enough and we had to get up at 8 for my appointment. Note to self: Make all dental appointments for Mondays if at all possible and NOT so early in the morning!

I was right. The sleepies hit me and I crashed for two hours. I got up about an hour ago and have been playing "catch up" ever since.
Which I had better get back to doing!

*sigh* My jaw hurts.
Specifically, the area around the previously mentioned tooth hurts. Not a lot at the moment but I've taken some aspirin so it hopefully won't get worse. The last thing I need is for the darn thing to get infected!  I guess I'll have to wait and see...

Afternoon!
Iz been a busy girl today. It was payday so there was all that "stuff" to do then I got home and found that we had new members! WELCOME! Then I realized that something vitally important needed to be added to the site so I got busy and added it while putting away the stuff we got today, answering PMs, answering Moonie and getting Skywise's food packed before he left for work! 
I am now having "lunch" and deciding which pressing task I'll tackle first..
Later.
