Brainwaves of Sken

How far back shall we go?

Let’s briefly (hah!) go over the weekend before last, since I never ‘splained. I was part of a 3-team scavenger hunt while I was in North Carolina. Thus the photo of myself wearing a (rather slimming) bra. Our team, technically, came in last, but we were quite resourceful, and frankly had the better of charm and personality, so who can say we truly lost?

My attempt to surprise Autumn with my presence was clearly successful. I say so because she opened the door, stared at me for a few moments and declared, “Holy shit. You’re here.” Yes, yes I was, but she repeated it a dozen or so times through the weekend, and that made the lengthy trip worth while.

So did seeing the rest of the beekeepers, who were just as bee-liciousas always. The jokes were flying all weekend long, as one would expect from such a stalwart band of malcontents.

Did I mentioned I stopped in Lexington for breakfast with Jana? It was on the way!

4 hours to lexington. 6 hours to Charlotte. 12 hours (detour) to get home = 22 hours on the road in one weekend. I never would have made it in my little go-kart of a truck (who has acquired the name Alice, strangely), so I have to thank Lucy for volunteering (nay, insisting I borrow) her vehicle for the journey.

As it is, my hands haven’t been the same. If I hold my cell to my ear for more than 10 minutes (either hand), the fingers start going numb. My massages are woefully short. Waking up with numb hands from the stupid way I sleep is more frequent. Autumn suspects Carpal Tunnel,and I can’t deny the possibility. I’m considering whether I can afford to pay for professional O.T. … but I guess I should just see my doc andhave him refer me. Maybe I could bring up the allergy thing while I’m there …

One week passeth.

This weekend, what started as a little game night to entertain guests turned into a full-out party. Again, it’s all Lucy’s fault. That spunky neighbor of mine brought over her liquor collection and her girl scout cookies, and we were all doomed. Jana arrived, having taken a slight detour on her drive to DAYTON for a visit, and as ever, my disparate friends got along fabulously (in my sometimes-humble opinion). Even Ben stuck around for awhile, only curmudgeoning out at the end. Famous Quotes from the party!

Jana said she was envious of how cool my friends are. I can’t blame her, since she is also my friend, and is also quite cool. Did I mentionthat she’s wolfwitch? Go say hi :) The other people weresilver_bits, blue_lucy, filmmaker79,zaius_fear, and various peoples without LJs.

Note: in 3 weeks, PenguiCon cometh. I’m going, mostly for the gamery, and I’ll even be volunteering on the night before it cometh. If you’re thinking about going, please do! I miss you, and we should catch up. Seriously.

Epilogue: I still can’t be arsed to apply anywhere. My reasoning is entirely flawed. Also, I owe money on my taxes because my employer screwed me. Yay! Also also, I’ve set up a preliminary page onAxon Photo/Video for my independent wedding stuffs. I’m looking for a new apartment, as the expiration of my lease is imminent, and my fundage is not massive. Looks like you Michigan folk get to keep me for another year.
