General Update
Well, I’m back from Canty Faire, very tired and completely out of my normal headspace.
There has been bathroom stuff going on but I haven’t completed the project I’m in on at the moment yet, I should post where I’m at anyway really. Maybe tonight...
The faire was fun, but I should have spent much less time drunk. It would have been nice to fight, but it really wasn’t practical given the state of my knee.
I met lots of fantastic people, learnt a bunch of stuff, and bought lots of bits.
Next year hopefully I’ll be fighting fit and will work a lot harder and drink a lot less.
The state of things currently is;
My head is still in tired/post-holiday mode, so I’m going to make sure I spend a few days working from home this week.
The bathroom needs progressing, as do the festival preparations, I’ve got 6 weeks though, so I should be able to pull it together.
My new bathtub has arrived and is very pretty, although Guy referred to it as a basin, given how short it is.
I have put a bid in for 12th Night 2009, which I hope will get up (even with some fee massaging).
I won’t be fighting May Crown or attending Midwinter Coronation, too far to go, too difficult to get there, too much time away from home.
Most of the washing load is under control thanks to some judicious prewashing and folding before departure and a little done at the hermitage. Much with ironing, most of my napery in fact.
One dead chicken, with all the hallmarks of being taken by a native cat. Not much I can do about it, those suckers get in everywhere, and they're coming down out of the hills because of the drought, so until it rains... Other than that, everything is alive and well, and the cat is uber-smoochy.
I started my new job a fortnight before CF and it’s all going well. Working from home is a dream, working on actual Work is even better. Now all I have to do is enough overtime work to get my annual leave balance to 0 again, so that I can make it all negative again for Festival... Although again I can do some work in transit, just not as much as on the way to CF.
Today/Tonight’s list:
Pick in and fold washing.
Email people
Reorganise finances to reflect new pay date.
Find out what the go is with Physio under my health insurance.
Book a massage.
Email all the folk who tried to get hold of me while I was away.
Mark up for a door for the peafowl shelter.
Put up Bathroom cabinet part one post.
Hassle suppliers for receipts.
Flickr...
I’m still finding it extraordinarily difficult to reconcile my self-image with that of those around me. I had a few people remark on the fact that even though I may have doubts, they don’t project on the surface. There were other strangeness’s in this department, but it’s all part of the weird, I’m sure I’ll work it out.
Must stop forgetting things...
Must do paperwork for the divorce soon
Weighed in at 106.5kg this morning, and I’ve had several folk comment that my scales appear to weigh light... This does not bode well, I like my cheekbones, and I want to keep them. Back to weight watchers it is, with a goal weight of 94kg, and a 97cm waistline. I also need to build a regular weights program in, particularly on my right leg, it’s starting to look quite atrophied, and I’m sure that, as well as my posture and the injuries, are where the additional injuries are coming from.
Back to the millstone!

Good luck with the WW.
I need to get back there again, for my 3rd try. It's been good for about 10k each go - which considering I'm about 20kg from goal isn't that great - but as soon as I fall off the wagon it's all on again.
Bristles post coming soon. Hopefully before you leave for festival.
Cheers,
This is my second time round on WW. The first time I lost nearly 40kg, it's only in the last 2 years or so that it's really started to come back.
Did a little bristle excercise with the tough guy on Thursday last. He was very impressed and is planning on doing plently with it in the Solomons. It will be interesting to see how the code behaves in the tropics.
Looking forward to the article.
