Well, the weekend was quite eventful, sort of. Friday night we were supposed to head to Montreal, but never went due to many things complicating it. So I stayed in, which was fine. I was pretty bagged out anyway. Saturday I went out to pick up some things, drop a movie off, nothing overly eventful, and was feeling a bit ill. Didn't go to our game night, as the drive would have probably killed me. So I stayed in to watch Round 2 of the Sens vs. Sabres game. Quite the hockey game, I thought we were going to lose it after the 2nd period, but the Sens held on to win it. The fights weren't as intense as the Thursday game, but there were some doozys.
I started work again on the piece that's a secret until I'm done. Not that it's much of a secret, I'm pretty sure nobody is reading this but me, and I'm the one typing it. But I should have some pictures next week. I've got my friend Robyn modelling it for me. I'm almost done the piece, and should be done tomorrow night sometime. I'll be getting together over coffee with Robyn to discuss photos and whatnot.
I did some calculations, and I want to make myself a scale shirt now. It's not cheap, but it'll be mine. Unless the right price comes along. But that's a project a few months away yet. I need to send back the order of rings I got and get a proper size. It would appear I didn't calculate in the enameled coating of the copper rings. It made the AR a little too low to do e4-1. Now I have to up the size just a bit to get the right ones to work. It'll cost me a little bit more, but at least now I know. Lesson learned.
I hope to see the colored scales come in this week. If I make my shirt, I may do an inlay in it. We'll have to see how that will work, but I think probably a rune on the back (probably Ansuz) and a valknot on the front in 3 colors. As I said, I'll see how that goes. It's all a few months down the road. I get some colors, and I want to try something like Norse Dave made with the scale corset idea.
As I sit here right now, my upper back is killing me. I'm just not sleeping well at night anymore. There's not too much stress in my life, but I guess what I do have comes in spurts. Just one of those things I guess. I'll have to hit the gym tomorrow night and work out. We're scheduled for the gym anyway. Tonight I have to do some dishes, cook dinner, do dishes again after eating, and then relax. Maybe a nice hot bath tonight will loosen up my back. Good thing I have nytol at home. I think I'll take one of those to help me sleep tonight.
Fire department is supposed to come in tomorrow for some reason. They were in not long ago to tell us to put better things on the main doors to help them close better. It didn't work out that great, but I guess it's better than nothing.
As you can see, when I blog like this, I can ramble a bit. I'm getting most of the stuff outta my head to make room for more things. It's kind of like in Harry Potter when Dumbledore takes the thoughts out and puts them in that thing. I can't even remember what it was called. Ah, right, a pensive. See, I wrote enough down to clear a space for the synapses to fire so I could remember things.
I got my new book in the mail late last week. It's Whisperings of Woden by Galina Krasskova. It's not as beefy as I had hoped it would be, but it's got some neat information. I hate to use the term, but it seemed very Wiccatru. That's fine, but I was hoping for more devotional stuff that wasn't directly linked to wicca. I was hoping for more of the practices of old. Anyway, I digress a bit. I want to get working on my novel again as soon as possible. I figure I'll probably have it done sometime in November. We'll have to see about that. I'm also going to do some writing while in Sweden on the trip itself, the dig, stuff like that. Ya know, kind of like my journey. I'll be taking lots of pictures, so that should help it out a bit. I hope I can get something like that published. I should probably start with the leadup to the journey itself. Could make for an interesting read. Get it all together and have it published along with the novel at almost the same time. Could be fun.
That's all for this moment. Not that my brain is empty, it's just I can't type anymore right now.
