So I have two days in lieu of the weekend that I am working. That's tomorrow and Friday just so you know. I've decided (now that I'm healthy and full of random energy) to create a list of things I really need to do and see how far I get. I'm putting it up here for general amusement and the fact that I can't lose this page but never find that scrap of paper I wrote things on. So in no particular order...

( Cut for waffly length )

Right we'll see how far I get

I am getting rather fed up of loosing writing and snippets of things just because my computer decides to have a fit and shut down a program without saving...

I've just lost all the IC artificer conversation I was hoarding from the past few days.

It's partially my own fault for not saving it sooner but DAMMMIT, it shouldn't be that easy to do...

So I avoided the sniffles just up until yesterday when they attacked me in force. To be honest I'm not surprised as everyone at work has had them at somepoint and I've not only been in a field all weekend with Artificer people (who also seem to have a large helping of sniffles), I also haven't slept well at all since I returned.

Today I am therefore sitting at home trying desperately to think on things to do which don't envolve moving much. So plenty of haunting the Artificer Forum and working on my downtime.
With any luck by tomorrow the worst of it will be over...The cold not the downtime which I am enjoying immensely.

Alternatively that could be fleet of foot and sore of mind.

Souvenirs of my weekend at artificer were an inordinate amount of nat bites down both sides of my head and over both shoulders.

I had read my character brief before I turned up (I play a noble of one of the six houses) and other information as to the state of matters however, nothing prepared me for the amount of running, comforting, diplomacy and plain having to smooth over other people's indiscretions I ended up doing.

Favoured parts of the weekend were:
Randomly having no servants and being so concerned for my lady that I delved into the cellars myself for her drink.
The surprise, amusement and plain gratitude that occured whenever I appeared at my lady's side with a tissue before she had the chance to request it.
Having my head of house ask my "sister" where I was, be pointed in my direction. Have her give me a puzzled look, then go. "No, that is a man, where is your sister?"
Having an important conversation, having the plotref over to ask something and then watching her dance away with glee.

So most of those who read my previous post will know I'm working this weekend. Stupidly early as well. This has however left me with two days off in the week instead which has been a bit novel.

Thursday I rose early and played some Zelda: Twilight Princess, while I put some washing on. I then started on choccoweeble's swish dress for Artificer. Determined not to let the after affects of my mild fever on Monday/Tuesday get in the way I whipped the main body of the thing together while listening to David Tennant reading Doctor Who and the Feast of the Drowned.
The material frayed like mad so my first stop when I restart will be to zigzag everything *yawn*... However it fit first time without need for adjustments.
To end the day we went to the cinema and watched 'Run, Fat Boy, Run'

Today I again rose early and proceeded to play some Zelda (with washing on again) but abandonned it a bit faster as I had promised to tidy the living room a bit. In a fit of annoyance or determination (hard to tell the two apart sometimes) I started by clearing the entire hallway and hoovering it and then culled all the shoes and coats so that it can be used by guests again and finding my jacket will be easier (there were 2 of mine to about maybe 14 odd for choccoweeble, or at least that's how it felt as I removed them). I then did the living room before eating and going shopping. Took the glass recycling with me as I watched the men go past the window this morning and I'd forgotten they were coming...
I came back and proceeded to strip the kitchen. I can now see all my tea tins again!
So now I'm waiting for choccoweeble to get home so she can make me the cup of tea I really deserve. I'd do it myself but I'm feeling a bit lazy now.
