2022 Happy To Be Here

It was pack up and go day at Pennsic.  Almost everyone is gone by Saturday; only a few people stay until Sunday.  It took most of the day to pack up all the things.  The one thing that I spent a bunch of time on was getting the shower pieces clean and dry.  I'm so happy that the day was dry for packing.  Other happy things from today: --Once the sun hit the chairs this morning and things started drying out a thin, lovely mist rose from them.  The picture doesn't do it justice. --Packing up is hard physically and emotionally.  In all honesty, I usually have a meltdown at some point during the process.   I think I only got really frustrated once and it was short lived.  No meltdown! That made the day much better than in some previous years. --Packing up went well because there were some great people who helped get the job done.  And while I concentrated on packing up the Baronial part of the encampment, Zed concentrated on...

The majority of my day was spent in camp.  I was either helping with set up in some way or resting and catching up with people.  Set up is taking longer than usual this year.  There are little things that are just being slightly problematic that keep delaying things.   It will all be fine.  Happy things from today include: --Keziah and I sharing tortilla chips and guacamole for lunch.  --Getting my phone charged.   Until more people are here I need to keep it close. --Remembering, before midnight, to practice my DuoLingo.  --The shower got finished today!  That was very welcome.   --Hearing drums in the distance as I prepare for sleep.  --Walking down a dark street at night.  I enjoyed the coolness in the air, the stars and crescent moon, and the peaceful nature of this evening. ☮️ Thank you for being part of my happy things.   Stay safe.
