Exhausted
Hopeful
Hurting (literally)
and
Curious
I am exhausted because this weekend included a number of engagements to attend, and attend them I did. Friday night was the Relay for Life, (walk for cancer,) and it was good. Sad, very sad, but a good thing to do.
Saturday was the CatHerd's and the PrettyLady's handfasting. Much very happy goodness there. I got to listen to TheBard, which is always a treat, and talk to many cool people. Woo!
Saturday night was occupied by me and the saga of the cheesecake. Sadly, we did not get a picture. Poo. But it came out ok. The one great suck is that I got there today (sunday) and someone had made the same damn cake, *grumble growl* and that the judging happened before I had gotten it out of the cooler and all dressed up pretty with it's blackberries. Oh well. Life goes on.
Today was King Pyr's Coronation for the Realms. It was a hopping good time, with only minor instances of 'ehh.' It was hot, it was sticky, but it was very well done for the most part. The grounds it was held on was the WPI campus, more specifically, in Higgins House.
*drool*
*drool more*
You can tell when a place has history, and this one was dripping in it. One could say that 'once there was magic there...'
It is absolutely stunning. We wandered around for a good long time just looking at it, trying the doors to see what else was there. It is just a breathtaking sight. The court was held in the house's (yea right, let's just get this straight, CASTLE'S) great hall, and it was very good.
I was even given a favor by the King. *blink* Huh. It was kinda cool. He had asked me earlier in the day if I'd have it, but he neglected to mention that it would be given to me in front of about a hundred(?) people. Had I known, I would have come up with something a little more coherent than what probably came out of my mouth. (I don't even remember what I said. Cervantes said it sounded moderately intelligent, though.)
And this leads to hopeful. Hopeful because I realize that Karma has a way of righting it's self. Hopeful that all the disads that I'm currently racking will somehow turn around and give me some decent life plot here soon. Hopeful because even though it's been quite a sturggle, I've made ground here and there in areas of my life. I feel a little (albeit very tiny) bit more in control of Me. And this is a good thing.
And so this leads to hurting. Friday night: walking many miles. Saturday: much standing and milling and generally being useful at the party. Sunday: see saturday, but in a corset, with more standing, and less breathing. And it never fails that everytime I visit the CatHerd's abode, I stick my finger in the hole in the back door to open it, and wind up wrenching my finger. *D'oh*
And so that leaves my with curious. Curious to see where I'm going, where, and with whom. Hoping it'll be a great lot of fun, with minimal angst. Curious to see if I can slip out from under this pall that has darkened my skies lately. Curious to see who takes other paths, who falls by the way, and who walks with me. Wondering if I should continue to walk alone, or start looking for other travelers.
There are a few who's paths I'm most curious to watch...
