Phantoms

[kragore]

Back when I larped, I'd get what is called "Phantom Horn Syndrome" (in other places, know as Phantom Limb syndrome) It came of going all weekend with little nubby saytr horns glued to my head - after a while, you get used to them being there.
They become an appendage, and when you take them off for school (or nowadays, work) on monday, you miss them, can feel the weight of them there on your noggin.

Today, I have Phantom Boot Syndrome. I bought a really spiffy pair of SCA boots my first day of war, (figured I owed it to myself after about 8 years or so of crappy SCA passable footwear) and didn't wear anything else all week.

If I try really hard, I can imagine them, my big stompy brown knee-high bullhide boots, on over my jeans, under my cube.
That pleases me.

Once, after doing Pennsic for both weeks, I came home and was terribly confused by the walls and ceiling. I woke up in the night and wondered who put windows in the walls of my yurt...

lol - I do have to say, it was a blessing to come home to sleep again - O'Chodians are camped on aptly named O'Choda Hill - it's unfortunately situated as close to I 79 as you can get and remain in camp, and my tent was in the absolutely closest row. It's kinda like sleeping in the median.

I found I had to keep the fan on last night - the air was way too still after being in the big drafty wall tent!

Now that I've been on CPAP therapy, I can't stand being in a still room anymore, whether I'm sleeping or not. I feel like I can't breathe!

Yup - I've noticed that after coming home, too. I need to put on a fan for the background noise. Otherwise, it's too quiet, and it's weird.
