helwenThis morning I packed up a box of SCA stuff I won't be using this year, and likely will be packing some more later on -- we'll still have choices for events but it's nice to have some space in the apartment. Packing books has been the hardest, since we're always going to different ones for reference, but again, space is precious. If we can get enough stuff out of the place I might even be able to paint some walls, which would be nice.
I've been packing up books, fabric, and now crafting supplies... two boxes of leather and sheepskin so far.

Tonight I'll be getting an outfit back from a friend and trying it on. I'd thought I wouldn't have attached sleeves for it because of giving away a different outfit that has attached sleeves.... forgot that the black Spanish tabarda has matching sleeve bits. We're not sure if I loaned the yellow skirt or not -- I might have given that away at some point. Skirts are easy enough to make though. I never did finish the pearling on the tabarda's trim, so maybe I can throw a few more on before baronial birthday :D
I have to work on my hair for birthday... need to make a fake braid -- it won't show, but if I can I'd like to wear the braid cover I made to go with the clothing :)
***
Apparently even a half-a$$ed attempt at a grazing diet is somewhat effective, as I've managed to drop a pound over the past week and a half. Yes, even eating chocolate.
***
Home therapy continues, with occasionally odd results. I developed a foot pain, sometimes the ball of the foot sometimes the top of it, and I'd noticed that the IT band area would be tight at those times. So I tried poking around at the upper end of the band below the greater trochanter (upper end of "hip bone") and found a spot that turns off the pain. Pretty cool, huh?
I think that as some things get loosened up and others remain tight, stresses are getting applied differently and occasionally nerves complain. Anyway, good reason to keep going, since I don't really want to keep the foot pain part.
