Weight and weather
I have been working hard since January to become more fit and to lose the weight I had accumulated over the last few years. I still have pants that I wore before I put on some weight but haven't been able to wear them. I had found such a pair of Lands End pants in my closet recently and it was still hanging around my bedroom. Yesterday, on a whim I decided to try on this pair of size 6 pants. Last time I tried them on, I couldn't even get them all the way pulled up. This time, not only did they go on relatively easily, they also zipped. They are still a little too snug to wear to work, but they are close. What a good feeling. My top weight earlier this year was 135lbs. For the last couple of days, the scale has read 127. I am getting there.
Our weather lately has been beautiful. Warm and mostly sunny. Warm, like in the 60s. As I said earlier, spring has sprung. I have been excited to have the warm weather for coronation this weekend, so what happened? We are in a small blip of cooler weather this weekend, and rainy too. Blech. Not what I needed for an event that is being held at a camp on the shore of Lake Ontario.
We were suppose to have equestrian games at the event tomorrow, since we were going to put up a snow fence arena on a grassy field the agreement we had was that the camp could revoke the use of the field if they felt the ground was too wet. Guess what happened? Yep, the ground is too wet. We will still have horses in the procession, but no games. Sigh. And with the barn collapse in March, the back up plan for an indoor arena collapsed.
I do like to organize SCA events, but yesterday it kept running through my head, What was I thinking, to autocrat a high profile event for my first event after moving to AEthelmearc and having not autocrated in 12 years, while trying to get my Montessori albums completed? It is OK, I think i have put together a reasonably good event. The crisis have all been things I really have no control over, and the show will go on. Then on Sunday we will pack it up and I will get on with my albums.
Yesterday was a wild day at school. the children were all on the edge of being out of control. Today will be easy, we will have 4 children, everyone else is leaving early for spring break vacations.
Have a great day.
