Started my ceramics class last night. Looks like a good bunch of folks - it's actually two classes taught in the same class period, so we've got folks with varying levels of experience. Our group got the fun task of starting the process to recycle used clay. In other words, take this messy clay glop, and spread it on these plaster slabs to dry, then we'll be beating it back into shape. *LOL* I'd done it before so I knew what to expect - mess, and dirty clothes.

Speaking of clothes, I need to finish sorting through A's clothes this week to get her ready for school. We have to pull out all the stuff that doesn't fit, and sort the worn stuff into the "play clothes" pile. Call VTC so they can pick up any donations we have in the next couple weeks - toys included. I've been trying to get to this for ages, and now it looks like it will just have to be my gig, sorting through the toys and giving a good quantity of them away. She's got WAY too many.

That also makes me think of the Toys for Tots challenge going on in the kingdom - I still have never seen what the rules are for those of us out in the hinterlands that aren't in a principality. I guess I'll just have to ask the PTB where to turn them in... Maybe I can drag them to October Crown or something...

Last, but not least, I've got an appointment with the endocrinologist today. We'll see what he has to say. He probably won't be thrilled with me. I haven't been tracing my blood sugar, and he didn't order any tests for it, either. Just another hormone test. We'll see if he even has the results by the time I get there. They didn't send them in time last appointment. *sigh* What I would give to not have to see doctors several times a year...

Title says it all. I've got A and her grandfather here at the house, for a week. A starts kindergarten next Monday, and we're still sorting out when her grandpa can move back to his house. The doctor originally told us he needed to stay with us two weeks... he only wants to be here until next weekend, from the noises he's making. We're asking him to stay longer, since he can't drive, and he needs someone around to help keep him toeing the line, taking all his medication and doing the breathing stuff, etc. *sigh* So, more cooking, washing, etc. to keep the troops happy.

Meanwhile, after loosing my temper with the last rant (which has been met with a resounding silence on here *LOL*), I decided to not beat around the bush, and just go straight to the source, now, and not wait until we see each other at an event. I asked politely for the other party to explain what happened. We'll see if I get an answer (via email). I can't change what's gone on, but maybe I can learn something from the discussion. I would really like to be wrong about what went on... it would make me feel perhaps a bit less jaded, to be wrong...

Git 'er done is what I need to stick to - to just get things sorted and out of the way. My life is too busy to let things sit for long, in the SCA, or otherwise. I'm also starting back to ceramics class tonight, and that's going to take time to deal with, too. I have to be there by 6:30, so I have to feed the family and get out the door by 6, so I can make it through the parking and find a seat in class by 6:30. I've got to get a locker lined up tonight, too...
