Nice weekend

Arn and I had a lovely drive up 17/301 to Magnus' house and spent far too long hanging out with his lady and talking, talking, talking (and drinking. A little.) Got up to yummy bacon for breakfast and made it to University half an hour late. I has my priorities. Okay, well, my sweetie had his, one of which is "don't drive when you're still waking up'. I rather approve of that one.

I didn't take a single class but as happens, I got to A&S-geek with a bunch of folks so it was still quite fun. Introduced Olwyn the Scribe to Eldred the Scribe and that was a Good Thing, played in the Master's Hall and Viking-geeked as well as Early Christianity-geeked. I believe I'm going to put in for teaching that class again at October University. (The cancellation of our local 4-day History Alive demo on October University weekend has a silver lining. I can go again!) Conspired with Her Grace Melisande for our bid and then did the same thing with Tirloch on another front. THat was fun, too.

The ride home was leisurely and beautiful. The only down side being the dropped call from my Girl while she was stranded alone in Denver (poor baby). But oh, we found an Applebees with a gifted chef and the steaks were so good we had to double-check to see which restaurant we were at! Filled up the tank with gas at $2.85 a gallon and then were home. I think I like route 17. :)

Today's activities were canceled so it is laundry and sorting/cleaning/chasing down the annoying mouse in the bread-drawer day. (Annoying isn't the word. The little monster is using our cabinet as a toitie and seems to know exactly what sticky-pads are for. We can't catch him/her. At least, not humanely. The cat is useless, too. (Not that I'd really want the cat catching the mouse - who knows where that mouse has been before it moved in?)

Do Not Try This At Home

One of those "what IS that?" health questions

Okay - it's not important enough to go see a doc about (he'd probably laugh) but I can't find anything on the web that explains it. What is that thing that makes a person shaky and sort-of-fainting every once in a while - and you know, absolutely, that if you ate right then some kind of protein, you'd be fine in just a few minutes. So you have to go find something to eat. Right then. Or find out if you really will faint. What causes that?

As a big ole fat lady who is NOT diabetic, it confuses the heck out of me when it happens - rare, it is, and happened when I was skinny, too, but... what does that? Is that what folks mean when they talk about 'blood sugar' crashes? Is it something else? If there's a name for it, I can go look it up to see how to avoid repetitions of it. (or at least to stop wondering what it is when it occurs.)
