21 March 2010
The second day of Spring wasn’t much warmer than the first here in North Texas. Scarborough’s performing company had the day off from rehearsals in an effort to prevent the cold and wet from spawning illnesses. It was a tough weekend for our friends at Sherwood Forest Faire, I’m sure. And, if I understand a couple of Facebook posts correctly, it was a very rainy second day of Spring in Florida. Hopefully our renfaire friends in Arizona didn’t have an awful day, too!
Kyle and I stayed indoors for the first part of the day—he actually had to work from home today. I got some work done, but I also must admit I discovered my newest addiction. I found a new game on Facebook that is my sort of game … at least so far. It’s called Kingdoms of Camelot, and right now I’m busily building my little corner of the world and increasing my rank in the peerage. I started training my army later in the day, and I suspect that after my four-day period of protection from attack and invasion has ended (a nice way to keep beginners from getting trounced right off the bat) I may lose my enthusiasm for the game if I have to actually “fight” a battle. But, for now, it’s pretty and it entertains me. And since my beloved Yoville has temporarily turned off some of the most fun aspects of the game for “maintenance,” I could afford to refocus that time somewhere else.
The highlight of the day, though, was popping down to No Frills to meet not only Brett and Jill, but also Stephanie and her sister and soon-to-be sister-in-law. It was wedding dress shopping that brought them to Arlington, and a Facebook message and subsequent phone call that allowed for us to plan to be in the same place at the same time for the first time in way too long. We had a wonderful time catching up and enjoying each other’s company.
And, now, I’m all caught up on The Daily KRuMB again, and it’s way past bedtime!
Wishing I could kick this vertigo that just flared up again … I don’t know if I can blame the weather and my sinuses, or the acupuncture (or the less than perfectly stable table I was on there this week), or what? I’m tired, but not looking forward to laying down. Wish me luck!
