For the Honour of the Family
Aug. 4th, 2007 01:24 amAt half past one in the morning, my bed is looking rather appealing. However, I can't go to bed until I've finished printing stuff. By which I mean the Cantacuzino Larp stuff. Fourteen character sheets (at a minimum of two pages each), fourteen general knowledge sheets (two pages each) and fourteen copies of the Family tree (one page). I can't actually do the last, since it was composed via remote access and is far too illegible on my printer, so I'm going to leave it and if necessary we can come up here tomorrow and print it off the remote desk top. I'm glad I have a lot of paper. It is a shame, because it looks quite good and complicated and being able to take everything down tomorrow morning would be great.
Tobias, despite having been neutured today, has been relatively cheerful, if a little quieter than usual. He's currently settling down on the end of my bed and if he remains settled when I go to bed, he can stay. Jemima, having only gone to the vet for a booster shot and have her teeth looked at, disappeared outside shortly after we got home and has been sulking ever since.
I also made gingerbread this evening. I started making it about 11pm and it finished an hour or so later. I forget what time exactly. Before I finished printing things, anyway. It looks fantastic. I ended up cooking it in an oval dish and it's nicely shaped and golden and when it's cooled, I'm going to wrap it in tinfoil until Monday. I'll buy some cream and yogart on Sunday and it can be served warm with those. The gingerbread is my bake-off entry and I would like it to do really well and if I get through the heat, I could experiment with something interesting the next time.
Turns out that I'm the only person on my floor at work with a valid first-aid Certificate (expires mid-August). I'm not sure if it's going to be renewed at this stage, but there is a great sense in irony in me being the first-aider when I'm one of the people who tends to get injured. And I'm not very good at first-aiding myself.
I really should go and make my lunch now, but I think I'll fall into bed as soon as I can instead. I'm doing well enough to take each page out of the printer but at the moment, cutting up vegetables is probably a bad plan.
EDIT: Done! Bedtime!
