...the staycation resort. Plans: Hanging Rock State Park: delayed until the weekend - a cold wind has blown in. Hanging out with Susie: on schedule for Thursday Friday Fright Night: on schedule - campfire, cookout, and outdoor theater (Blair Witch Project) Maiden Voyage: confirmed - I'll be in Maiden, NC Sunday to visit friends.  :o) The Bear is off too except for teaching Thursday night.  This...

Friday was my birthday.  The Bear and I sat by a campfire after work.  It was great.  We ended up fine dining on roasted marshmallows and leftover pizza.  Saturday, we spent the morning at my parents' house.  We had breakfast together.  It was a good time.  My mom is a bit freaked out by newest earring.  That is not without amusement considering that I'm way too old for it to even matter anymore...

...eyes bother me. Eye doctor said my eyeballs are swollen.  I'm starting medication and have to go back for tests to determine the cause.  I'm concerned.  It hurts a lot. On a happier note, our load of campfire wood was delivered today.  I think my favorite thing to do in the whole world is crank up the stereo and sit by a campfire with the people I love.  It's so relaxing.  We have a cool campfire pit...

I'll be 41 this week. In my forties, geez. I'm having a crisis of faith, again. I have two friends I'm talking to about it - an atheist and a hard-core believer. I'm taking another brief staycation at the end of the month. Complete with Halloween campfire. I'll be 41 this week. It's just like when I was 21.

...last one due to falling asleep on the settee. Means I'll miss dancing again but heigh ho. Need to sort out what I'm doing myself for TORM in November as well and whether I'll be able to get down for a campfire curry night. Was speaking to Trina about getting back to doing appalachian clog on Tuesdays. Started doing that last year but ran out of time and organisation and ended up letting it slide even...

...and life while watching the office. His friend Ian came over, followed by Stem and Kasey. We smoked a little weed outside. I had to use his bathroom with no door. We went to Ian's yard to have a campfire. It was cold. Travis asked me about the future and said all he wants is to be sixteen again. I could feel his sadness. Saturday we watched this Richard Ramirez movie that was FUCKED UP but incredibly...

...usually go OK) but last night, just a bit of a blank. Need to go bra shopping tonight since one of them disintergrated when I put it on the other day. Have decided that, this time, I'm going to get fitted and measured properly. Not looking forward to it but I think it makes sense. Have had Bravissimo reccommended by the folks on the Campfire so wil pootle along there tonight and see what happens

... I'm giving them to my nan for her 70th. I hope she's going to treasure them! I don't have a picture of the completed pair, but I do have a picture of the first one: Pretty no?! I used the Campfire Sock pattern, which was incredibly easy to follow, SIrdar Denim Tweed DK yarn, and 3.75mm DPNS. Here is me having created the heel: Turning the heel (ooo scary!): Close up of turning...

... then I'm planning on walking up the street to the Northcote Town Hall and joing in the festivities of the Darebin Music Feast.   Tonight, if it is not raining, there will be a sing-along around a campfire (well, small fire in a 44 gallon tin but anyway) with some local muso's which sounds like a lot of fun.  My neighbour is the host and engine behind hte Darebin Songwriter's Guild and she is...

... Yesterday, found out that, due to network problems, the course I was supposed to be going on has been postponed. Yaay, I thought, I may be able to go to Caldicott after all, only to find out from the Campfire that, due to flooding and severe weather warnings, the event is cancelled. Obviously a reasonable decision but such a shame, both for those who were going and for those who put so much work into...
