Yeah... I know it's been a little bit. Busy is only a kind of excuse, but it is an honest part. The other is that I operate by phone almost exclusively so having access to a computer to type can be difficult. But the absence has been glaring at me; worry not about that my non-existent readership.
That is why I am trying to take advantage of it now.
Anyway, the 30 for 30 fell by the wayside pretty quickly in the lead up to 12th night. I at least did get some sword work in that weekend because I got authorized to do rapier combat in the SCA. So now I can participate without qualms. Now to get marshelled so I can hold practices out here.
Which we can do that now too because we have a few rapiers to practice with. But I still plan to go to Eugene on Sundays to do their practice since they have more people than us. So there are details to work out.
Speaking of which, I am doing this post, post-workout. (;P) Nothing to complex, I am severely out of shape so anything at this point will help my body. But I squeezed out 3x10 of push ups, squats, dumbbell rows, and leg raises. I broke a sweat and am fatigued so I am happy. I should be sufficiently sore the next few days, do it again Thursday to keep up an approximate 2x a week strength training, which -- if I can keep the intensity up like tonight -- will be sufficient to get stronger, which is the goal. My 6'1" frame holds my flabby 215lb body well enough that i still look skinny in an unhealthy way, put on a few pounds of muscle and I'll be a happy camper. perhaps if I can get some grappling mixed in with my fencing and regain the strength to use the muscle memory I have from my judo days and I will be in heaven. :)
Work has been going well that I have learned to flush set stone with relative ease that my boos has no problem letting me do orders with only a day and a half practice which has me super stoked. Learning new skills from time to time has me thinking that I either have a real knack for this or that it's just easier than I thought. Either way, It is encouraging me to take more risks in trying new things, which I plan to do for a few brooches I will be making for Egils this year.
Another thing keeping me busy, designing some brooches for Egils. A couple penannular brooches and a couple wire fibula as prizes for tourneys there this year. I wanna try to make them special. I am only gonna get paid for materials but I will have a maker mark and info for the word to be spread. The time is come to start making money for my skill, though it be still budding.
Anyway, that's all for now, I wanna take a shower, and chill for the rest of the night.
Peace out, Girl Scouts
