Adventure Day!

Just back from dropping off Charlie and his truck-load of gear at the last Alliance Denver LARP of the season. The reason it's the last is because their site is actually a summer camp, and will not be available again until autumn. The October event will be hosting the Alliance National event, and I have some tentative plans to be part of that, playing an NPC--a non-player character. The drive out to Elbert each time is a kind of treat: There's no knowing what weather conditions will be, or what... Sign in to see full entry.

Caliban Jack

Both Caliban and I were somewhat anxious about visiting the vet, there is so much I don't know, so much I can't explain to him about why he's ailing and in pain. I am such a novice in the care of chameleons, so it feels, and I didn't have any idea how bad this situation might be. The vet was encouraging, and she appreciated that, in fact I know more than most people about the critters. She prescribed an antibiotic and gave me something to give him for the inflamation and pain. So here we are... Sign in to see full entry.

Wednesday busies

It's sunny and warm today, with suggestions of possible thunderstorming in the afternoon. This afternoon Caliban is going to visit the vet. He seems to have abcesses on his hind feet, and it's a lucky thing I could find a vet for reptiles here in the Springs. I will let you know how that turns out. Charlie has been busy preparing for this weekend's LARPing. He is making ant costumes: simple headgear and armor pieces that will fit over the head and cover front and back. A couple of his design...

Busy Saturday

Bit of dreary weather today, chilly and overcast, but no rain. That's good because we went treasure hunting at the thrift store and I weakened in front.a kind of modernish 'fainting couch' they've had on the floor for near two weeks. That made it half price today. Hence the weakening: I sat down and reclined in it as a I did a week ago, and... well... It will fit nicely in the front room at the workshop. $17 By the way, I misspoke regarding those two blue chairs we acquired last week when I said... Sign in to see full entry.

Thunderboomers!

It's not quite 7 am yet, and I've been awake since just past 6 thanks to lively and pretty close lightnings and thunderins! The whole of this state and others around us are in the midst of some wild weather since yesterday, some nearer to Denver even wilder with hail there even before the clouds stacked up here. By 4pm yesterday we had a local tornado warning given, so you can bet we were watching the clouds! Nothing came of that, that I'm aware. We started getting the thunderboomers last night,...

Tuesday adventures

A warm and sunny day started too early for me considering a poor night's sleep but I had made a commitment to a teacher friend of mine to visit her class today. The occasion was a presentation of the 5th grade students' projects. The assignment was to design a museum exhibit on some aspect of North American history from 1492 to the present. My friend invited me to come and help assess their efforts. It was quite an ambitious undertaking for kids of their ages and experience, especially... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunday at home

After a busy week of running hither and thither, it's nice to have a day at home. Especially a nice day like this one--sunny and warm, in the low 70s. Time to catch up on some housekeeping and hang out with the critters. Charlie who is always doing something, is up in Castle Rock at another jugger tournament. This week we've gotten so much done at the workshop! The brackets and poles went up in the costume room and most of the costuming is put up in a in a preliminary way. In the center...

And suddenly--Friday!

Sunny, warm days with a bit of rain, a couple of rolls of thunder... Sufficiently convinced we've got to spring at last, I spent a few dollars on flowering plants yesterday while Charlie picked up the last of the poles and brackets, some shelves, and some stain so they will match the new flooring. This week I've finally been able to start racking up the costuming. I had to find more different colored hangers in a season when all the fashionistas are favoring black, white, and grey. I finally... Sign in to see full entry.

Later Afters

Lovely weather today, temps in the high 60s, very sunny with some big dark clouds and weather over the mountains that never got here on the edge of the flat lands. It was a good weekend! Charlie sent home several Bears, a couple of his ink art pieces, a beaky plague mask he made of leather a while back, and one of his paper mache sculptures. I had some interesting conversations with quite a number of people, and sat down with seven of them for reading and healing sessions. The last two came... Sign in to see full entry.
