Don't think I'll make it to frisbee practice tomorrow morning. Have the most awful cramps from mistiming the pill and would have come home early from work this afternoon except for the fact that I just don't tend to do that, even when I should, and the strong painkillers I took fuddled my brain some. I will take some more before I go to sleep. Movement just seems to increase the pain.

Which means I should be fine for Parallax. I need to write a TV guide type blurb for an episode, although I think I'll try and stay away from the 'aliens made them do it' sort so beloved of fanfic writers.

I tried eating before I went to the gym this morning, and yes, it made a difference, and even though I don't like eating when I first get up, I'll probably keep doing so. It was the last session with the personal trainer today. He's going to write up the stuff for me and I'll pick it up Monday morning and keep working through it. Exercises should be good for twelve weeks or so and I'll see how I go after that. Will suss timings next week. The other timing I really need to work on is when I go to bed/sleep, because it is not a good plan for me to be having a maximum of six hours sleep a night (I had four last night) because that makes me tired and is how a coffee addiction starts.

Somehow I managed to get a blister under the callous below my ring. It's very odd, but popping it entertained me for a good five or ten minutes this afternoon. It still distracts me a little.

Got The Twilight of Magic by Hugh Lofting, better known for the Dr. Dolittle books, out of the library today. When I first read this as a child, maybe even a young teenager, it was my favourite of all Lofting's books. Unfortunately, it doesn't stand up to rereading. Maybe one reason it made such an impression in my mind was that I only got to read it once or twice, whereas we actually owned some of the Dr. Dolittle books and I was relatively familiar with them.

On the other hand, South Island Stowaway by Essie Summers, a rather old Mills & Boon novel which I first read in a 2-in-1 Women's Weekly edition at Rotoiti until the last chapter fell out, does stand up to rereading and I will purchase a copy should I see one. It's very New Zealand and Summers integrates stories of New Zealand history with the imaginary history of the hero's home and family very nicely. The minor characters even resemble people. With personalities and everything! Doesn't make me want to live on a family owned and operated sheep farm, though.

I am not at work today, as I really should be. And surprisingly I don't feel any actual guilt over this. I would, but I'm too tired, and if I'm tired enough that I am seriously considering having a nap soon, even though I got up two hours ago, and went to bed earlyish last night, then I really shouldn't be at work. Still haven't woken up properly since Friday evening.

Sunday was nasty. Yesterday. Words fail me. A text to [livejournal.com profile] mashugenah involved the sort of language one sees in Asterix, only minus the thunderclouds and skull & crossbones, since my phone doesn't offer them up as symbols. Shame on them. The last room we did was the breaking point for me. I'd been considering the idea of taking today off all day yesterday, since I was getting to the non-functional stage of tiredness, and that room hit my breaking point and made the idea a plan. I've seen a few rooms worse than that one in my time in the hotel, but not many.

Had Lace & Steel in the evening. I enjoyed being Isthian for a few hours - probably the first time I've ever deliberately used gaming as an escape. It's not something I plan to do very often. Still, Isthian's general calmness was a nice change from my hyper-tired flapping around. And we had a new person start, too. I've never been in a game where someone joins part way through, and it's interesting. We've been learning how to act as a team, and we're still learning, and now there is another person to add in. Makes the dynamics interesting, especially when you add in the fact that [livejournal.com profile] mashugenah and [livejournal.com profile] house_monkey and I all know each other socially as well.

But most importantly - there were kittens. Last week, we all noted that Sploge was rather fat, and you could almost feel the lumps of kitten in her belly. This week there are kittens! They're about five days old, and incredibly cute. I took a couple of videos, and a number of photos, which I will post when I work out how.

Have made public all my previous Winter Wolf entries and linked them together. The first one can be found here.

I can't be bothered updating the last part just yet. Will do so some other time this week.

I have done far too much exercise today. Skipping and rearranging my room this afternoon, and the usual mad dash for the bus at the end of gaming tonight.

This is the last three sessions.

Winter Wolf Three Weeks Ago )

Two Weeks Ago )

Tonight )

One more session and then the joint one.

So, unlike the last few weeks, an accounting actually before the next game session! Such a shock! And then I will go and have lunch.

Having just scanned my memories section, I think I'm missing three weeks of Winter Wolf, not two as I originally thought. It doesn't appear I've updated it for all of May. General rundown of what's happened, since last Monday's session was cancelled due to the fact that I had bronchitis and was too sick to go anywhere, especially work. I should've really not done anything the week before, too.

Two updates in one. Last weeks is very brief, since I forgot to update it during the week and now I can't remember details.

Wow! I'm updating on the day the game was played!

And I still can't believe it. We robbed the Vatican!

Next part here, not so exciting.

Again, updating nearly a week after the actual game was played.

Find the next bit here. You're still reading? I'm impressed.

Since I haven't updated last week yet and I have time before I go to catch the bus and go to con. It's turning out to be surprisingly warm today. If only I had another long skirt that wasn't winter weight and (more importantly), would go with the cloak that [livejournal.com profile] thesane made me for my birthday.

Time for a massive catch up. The last three sessions, starting with the one three weeks ago.

Winter Wolf )

Cliffhanger, yay! Fortunately, I'm writing this three weeks late and so you don't have to wait long for the next installment. In fact, the next part can be found here
nishatalitha: image: lots of ladybirds crawling up fencepost.  white rope is wrapped twice around top of fencepost (Default)
While I'm vaguely awake, I'll update this.

Tonights game, and then I'm up-to-date again. Three games so far and I was already starting to fall behind.

This is actually last weeks game. I'll post tonights as well, but I'm putting them into separate posts for lack of confusion.

Now, I did actually write this all out and have it all ready to post when I pressed the wrong buttons or something and lost everything. I hate it when that happens.
