Cue the crickets

It's been a blessedly quiet week.

Good Stuff:
- I got to fence yesterday! I only have four tender spots today.
- My fencing teacher's youngest daughter graduated from homeschool yesterday afternoon. She had a Star Wars themed graduation, which was fun. Sadly, the pictures of her in her gown and a Darth Vader helmet didn't come out. Maybe someone else will post some on Facebook.
- We got to have lunch with our friend and Official Photographer, Jenn, yesterday. Always great to see her.
- Alex realized on Thursday that this is Memorial Weekend, so he's crashing here while he hangs out with his girlfriend. :-)
- I got words in, and I plotted ahead to the middle of the book. I also go my timeline straightened out, although that caused another wrinkle I'm going to have to work out with my contractor consultant.
- I think we got the rest of the stuff we need to do Games on our own. For now, at least. I'm told you never really have everything. The next solo Games is in three weeks, near Chicago. In two weeks we'll be assisting in Kansas City.
- I went to the commissary this afternoon and stocked up on veggies and mint chocolate chip ice cream. It's almost summer.
- Eric ordered video editing software, so hopefully I'll have copies of the Warrior Queen DVD this week.

Not So Good Stuff:
- Eric may have an issue with gluten, so I have to adjust my cooking habits again. We've been talking about transitioning to a more Paleo diet anyway so it's not that as big an adjustment as it could be. It may be more of an issue when we're traveling.
- I've taken the care and maintenance of the house over almost entirely now that we have a lawn mower I can start. Grad school is consuming Eric and often when he says he'll do something, he forgets. I have had to talk myself down from resentment a couple of times. This will pass. Six more months and he's done for good. In theory, anyway.
- I had a moving scare. Eric interviewed for a job in VA but he didn't get it. I can't say I'm disappointed. The thought of dropping my life here and moving half-way across the country, away from my kids and further from my parents, was not something I was looking forward to. I won't even get started on the logistics of what to do with our house, with my new kitchen. Not that I dislike VA. There are worse places.
- I'm having a hard time working up the story of Marjorie Bruce. I'm not sure why. I've worked with less information.

This Week:
- More words
- Write Marjorie's story
- Find a home for Games gear. The garage is going to have to be cleaned. Again.
- Clean out the chest freezer.
